Didsbury Dave said:SWP's back said:What could we have won in that 12 months mate? The league cup is the only thing that has finished since we took over and we lost to one of the best teams in Europe, over two legs with a goal in the last minute. Or do you think we should have won the Premier League and European cup (despite not being in it) last May?
Hughes was sacked last Dec (the decision taken when we were in 7 or 8th and well more than a dozen points behind 1st). This season, we are comfy in 4th and 6 points off the top spot. How is that not an improvement. We have also stopped shipping goals.
The press will sneer whatever.
I don't give a snakes bum hole wha neutrals think as it did us no good when they loved plucky little city.
We throw money around - shock and horror - I wish we were on the brink of administration again so we didn't have that tag.
You would always be unhappy as it seems to make you happy in a perverse kind of way.
I refer the right honourable gentleman to the reply I gave (to FB) a few minutes ago.
Like you, he forgot about the FA Cup. He also failed to address the points about dressing room unrest and unhappy fans ;-)
Many a team has come unstuck against Stoke. We hammered them (ish) at home and suffered a shitty ref and one of those games away.
As for the dressing room, it seems ok to me and he got rid of the main trouble makers.
As for the unhappy fans, I really do think some fans prefer to be unhappy mate. I wouldn't be surprised if you knew rooney wouldn't come deep down and so put so much effort into getting excited about it (it rubbed off on me), so you could be so personally let down. Not in a nasty way but there is an air of sado-masicism about you. I half expect to see someone in full leather gimp suit being led around by an electrified lead attached to his balls at the next game. If I did see that I would just be like "Alright Dave, got you new kit on?" ;-)
