... "we(you - translated from Tory)'ve never had it so good". We saw yesterday a mid-table side outclassing a bottom of the table side - Burnley here we come!

The quote was actually “Most of our people have never had it so good” He also said: “Too many people live too much in the past. The past must be a springboard, not a sofa”.

new stand of course, and with the fixtures as they are and on current form we might even get ninth this season - I am predicting our first consistently mid-table season next season, 2016 we ended up down there after a good start, this year's reverse of that is proof to me that we have progressed into a genuine mid table team, next year should prove it further.

not sure what's worse, hitler's bombs landing on Selhurst or us losing Zaha. Losing Wilf. You can rebuild a stadium in about two years, but I have only seen players like Wilf and Vince Hilaire in those timeframes, so once in every 25 years. I am now 62 so won't be here the next time their like comes around again. We need to keep Wilf.

The “never had it so good” thing I think is often used as a smoke screen. I agree it’s a once in history time for the club, & I love staying up, but a team that can’t go beyond fighting for survival every year will eventually go down anyway. I think we all need to chill out a little bit & the club needs to actually capitalise on what we’ve got this time. The infatuation at the club surrounding short term good & bad runs of form is is the reason why we seem to get ourselves into trouble every season. Let’s hope Roy can actually build something in the time he’s here & leave us as a better footballing club. Not just artificially, or on paper. I think, given some of our performances under him, we have every reason to be optimistic. But the board has to back him this summer & going forward to fully implement what he wants to do, in the way he wants to do it. He’s clearly a good manager, but his experience will mean that he’s unlikely to take circus type behaviour above him. It is imperative that Parish & co learn from previous years mistakes and are competent this summer. I’ve said on many occasions before that I don’t think we’ll have many more chances of a great escape. If we go down, lose our best players and haven’t made any progress at the club towards our footballing philosophy because we’ve been too busy fire fighting. The 6 “never had it so good” years will count for nothing.
We're the Arthur over ere! |
