Loony Tunes season gets underway
The manager who last season was responsible for a top ten finish and bringing some much needed stability is suddenly “useless, past his sell by date, just picking up his pension, clueless” and apparently has “lost the dressing room.”
There’s just five comments I have picked up from the many before deciding an afternoon in front of the box was preferable to reading such stuff.
And of course in many cases it’s the board’s fault really for appointing an old man who “has no Plan B” and is nothing more than “a joke.” Don’t remember hearing that in the summer and through August and September.
Apparently – according to some – we can’t afford to sack him and “we can’t afford not to.” The calls for Moyes are being heard again and the board should resign.
That’s football for you: One minute the flavour of the month, the next all the old weary reasons are raised which didn’t work before and won’t next time. If it had every team would be challenging for the title.
The screams and yells to sack everybody associated with the running and management of the club emerge from rage and frustration – and it’s from such emotions the worst decisions are usually made.
Personally I’m looking to the return of Michail Antonio as one key to the rest of the season and whilst we are all oppressed by our present worries and concerns I remain convinced Pellegrini has more than enough nous to avoid a relegation battle.
Yep a decent moan up relieves frustration but there really are no simple answers and I think it might be a good idea to accept that!
The immediate fixture list reads like this: Burnley (a), Spuds (home), Chelsea (away), Arsenal (home), Southampton (away) and Palace (away).
Not encouraging but my forecast is eight points from a possible 18.
