Good thread Andy.
To be brutally honest, im more annoyed with our fans instead of the fact that this season has been our best chance to win the league for years and we've fallen short.
I really hate having the same conversation over and over and over. If its not with the negative-moaning-slit-your-wrists-the-worlds-going-to-end posters on here, its lads i go the match with.....knobheads you hear in the pub.....knobheads at work. Im fucking sick of it!
Yes people have issues with Rafa, his decisions etc, ME INCLUDED but i think people just want to think that they no better. But it must be right....its in the paper. Whaaat the fuck!!??
I honestly think that we are improving under Rafa. We've beaten Chelsea and the mancs and yes we've dropped silly points at home, but turning draws into wins can be fine tuned, we just need that extra little spark. 1 or 2 signings that can create something out of nothing for us, just like Torres turned us into a totally different outfit. Give Rafa a decent budget, let HIM basically sign the players he wants, when and how he wants, give him some more time maybe 2 or 3 years or so and see where we are. No point potting him now just because the mancs have won x amount of league titles. You get rid of Rafa now we might aswel say "here you piss-stained old fart,have another 4 league titles, because us, as a club are too impatient to let the seed grow when we've only just begun to water it".
Saying that, a little tiny part of me actually wants Rafa to walk. Let all the know-betters see how we fare then. To look at them all miserable when were battling for a european slot in the league with pompey and the shite. Bernabeu?distant memory. Nou camp? Distant memory. San siro? Distant memory. These are places we've been to and WON.
I don't even want to talk about football full stop at the moment, a result has never made me like this, not even being beat by the bitters 3-0.....the sad thing is its our own fans making me feel that way.
