I started off with being thoroughly disappointed in our summer transfer business when every man and his dog could see our squad was woefully short of premier league standard and now with the inevitable happening to Benteke I'm just plain angry.
How on earth can a multi million pound company be so negligent to leave us in this position? I just can't understand how they believed getting no striker was the preference over getting bummed by Niasse' agents. Surely they realise that if you leave it till the final hour of a transfer window your not in a particularly strong negotiating position. It's a sellers market at that point. Suck it up pay the money, which before anyone says would have been peanuts in premier league standards and safeguard our league status. I was underwhelmed at the time with Niasse but jeez at least it would have been someone. How can we be so amateur. I don't know if the blame is fully at Mr Parish' door but his arrogant communications of twitter have made him look a fool. Why oh why have we gambled our future in this way surely surely it's not protecting their own financial investment. We could potentially be out of sight by January anyway which makes the promises of January irrevelant. Even so why can we have any faith they are capable managing the January window any better. Sooo frustrating we've sabotaged ourselves again. I've got my ticket for next week but for the first time feel like what's the point. However ,like always I'll be there giving my all with the rest of us. Really doesn't feel like the men up above are doing th same.

Whilst you are correct in a lot of the comments that you have made these are subjects that have been covered extensively over the last three weeks and you aren't saying anything that hasn't been said in countless other threads by countless other people.

Who on Hol is really coming up with new material though? Most of it we've all heard before at some time

Great piece by Hopkin to curl one, read it. Feeling just the same and I don't care who it upsets it's IMO true!!!

I'm the opposite. Probably anger now disappointment. Gradually getting used to what may turn out to be a really difficult season to stomach. I'll be giving full support though.
