    So,we can write off games against Liverpool,Man Utd,Man City,Spurs,Arsenal,Chelsea.I know we beat Spurs but I bet they beat us at home.If we keep the score down in those games we have done well.Cheers Ashley.What has our club become.
    Anymore teams if we have 20 odd percent possession against and keep the score down we can celebrate an achievement?
    We have more injured players than points on the board.Long season ahead.
    Too right. Never for one moment today did I think we would get a point, even when we were leading. It begs the question of why even bother to watch the matches on tv, never mind actually pay out to go and watch it live.

    But, it seems there are plenty who don’t mind being ripped off.

    100% agree mate the true fans are the ones staying away

    That was dreadful to watch today. Pancake Faces remit with Ashley is to keep us in the Premiership it’s going to be a long season of watching that crap

    Bruce has stated that if he gets a few wins the fans will be back, will they phuck. That team has relegation written all over it.

    It's called being a fan and having hope.
    Nobody gave us much of a chance against Tottenham but we won.
    Liverpool as it stands are literally a different animal....as it stands. They can't get too much better, so it's no disgrace losing 3-1 away from home and in fact it would be no disgrace losing 3-1 at home to them...but they key issue is the hope before a ball is kicked, not the downer after it's all over, if we get beat.

    That's the point though Ghost. Years and years of being told our only ambition is survival in the premiership, or a quick return when it inevitably goes wrong, has taken all hope from supporters. Some are happy that we did not get hammered by six or seven and accept a 3-1 defeat. That to me is a total disgrace and not what supporting a football team is about

    And the hope thing is fair enough but for a lot of us that has been taken away

    The spurs result is a blip in an otherwise downward spiral

    Each to their own though I suppose

    Who said our only ambition is survival in the premier league?

    Most teams can get a one off result against anyone but a big investment in your squad buys you a very good chance of a higher performance ceiling for each individual player and a higher average performance level over a season.

    For sure fat Mike hopes we somehow miraculously do a Leicester as long as it doesn't cost him but the first trophy in every year must be the spreadsheet championship.
