Thing is, I haven't (slagged every player off). Most supporters weren't enamoured of the decision to sign Diouf, but I thought he was worth the chance, proved right. Bellucci was a similar case and same result, same with Alioski.

As for Bielsa I'm on thecord as having admitted I was wrong. And Raphina? Find a post that supports your accusation.

Like I said earlier, my posts regarding Ortas "recruitment" and that of the Yank-driven owner(s) stands and had the club been more aligned to my more sceptical view of what the newcomers offered we'd be around £200m better off and as likely as not still in the PL. But don't let facts stand in your way, let's just carry in with "hope triumphing over expectation", hmmmm?
