  1. Fulham dominated without scoring. Good news is we have done that several times this year and then went on to lose. Hope we are on the other side of it today.
  2. Personnel people are so important in the NFL because, like you say, you cannot just plow money in to the team. They have salary caps, revenue sharing, and a decent amount of control over player contracts (franchise tag, restricted FA, ect.). So RL's failure in Cleveland had much more to do with who was hired than how much money he spent. That being said, most people viewed the Mike Holmgren hire as a good one and it has not worked out. Do not think you can blame someone for hiring a guy most other teams would have hired as well.
  3. Granderson is having one of the worst postseasons I have ever seen. Does he know you do not have to swing at the first pitch?
  4. Haha. So in his mind Rangers would be invited but we wouldn't? What an ass.
  5. And we would freak out if Villa started charging top 6 ticket prices.
  6. Dire? Yep. I am the one that needs to ease up. Again. No point.
  7. If you actually watch the matches instead of simply looking at the table when the weekend is over it is very clear we are a better side, but what is the point in arguing. Let them moan.
  8. Yeah. Damn him for hiring the manager we all wanted and then giving him a heap of money to spend in the way he saw fit. Bastard.

    Relegation

    Sure glad you can judge Westwood's relative ability from 65 odd minutes of work. Maybe RL should hire you for the scouting network. You would save him a lot of money. I bet you could scout 200 players in a weekend.

    Some of you cannot see the forest through the trees. No matter the results, we have looked like a much better team this year than last and we certainly have improved since the beginning of the season. Obviously you have to get results, but those come with playing good football.
  11. That's two. Said last week we would have scored at least two in the first half if Bent had been on when all the crosses were flying in.
  12. Good half so far. They have created chances, but good attacking teams create chances against everyone. Should be really happy with this performance if we remember last year's trip to White Hart Lane.
  13. That is not even close to accurate. A guy scores one goal on a flubbed clearance and we "couldn't handle" him. Give me a break.
  14. It would be really fun to see a Nats-Orioles Series. I think the stadiums are 45 miles apart?

    General Issues

    Very nice. Only thing that kept me from using Villatalk was the lack of a mobile interface. Ip has one of the best. Love it.
  16. Agreed. I gave out a lot of sixes but it was one of those "greater than the sum" team efforts. The only really lacking area was obviously the front third, but that sort of performance is going to pick up points more often than not. Though we were very poor. We struggled to create anything of note and really never looked like scoring until Bent came on for Benteke. Benteke is very quickly looking like a very poor buy along with Lambert's other purchases. Yet another manager and another 17m spent and we still don't have a midfielder in our team who can create anything. On the plus side plenty of effort to get a point but effort alone won't keep us up this season! Unbelievable post.
  17. Happy with the point, but feel like we are not a good enough team to just let three points go when we are clearly the better squad.
  18. Those are the types of goals we gave up last season. Glad to see it from the other side.
  19. Not pushing forward quickly enough. Safely say I am not scared we are going to lose after the first 25, but we need to pick it up if we are going to get a win.
