Wow...

You are so right Nick and I think also hit the nail, You and I remember those times of the centre circle huddle and the band of brothers attitude that is so much of what a winning team is about. The reason why we didn't like Sturridge, because his attitude was wrong.
Football is about passion and hunger to win, isn't that what a manager is paid to do,first and foremost motivate a team spirit?
Yes I agree we have lost that "magic" . Leicester showed it almost all last season. We can only hope that our guy has the where with all to reproduce that hunger to win for the team . It is a special time and a special group that can produce this feeling, as rare as falling in love. Thats why we so appreciate it when it comes, on those rare occasions. To get 11 egos to merge as one is very special, and we know it like love when it passes.
The magician manager that has the awareness to produce this spark , like Jose did for us earlier on, will always remain a legend.

Sorry that was me with number 5 Tway!

Obviously I stick up for my team, I'm merely saying that I feel embarrassed and frustrated inside with the way we have gone about our business.

We're slowly falling away from challenging let alone winning and I don't think for one second we'll get relegated, well, not for a while, but I do think that mid table beckons...

I was mainly a lurker here but i just think its such a shame for soo many to give up. We need to get behind our players and have faith in the club as a whole.

Glad you had a 2nd change of heart DD as your opinion is as valid of the next.

For my POV, I think this sort of forum is the ideal place to express your frustration, were your opinion can't affect real life.

What counts is that when you go to the stadium, all that is forgotten and you shout as loud as you can for the team irrespective of what your personal opinion of certain players, Roman, board members or the tea lady maybe.

Thats how it works Ronny, you pick a team to follow, support and do the ups and downs. Cheering the champions and savouring those special moments, in between the poor/mediocre challenges, mid table existence and also the supreme challenge , even uplifting of relegation.
We picks a team and takes the ride, and like a successful marriage, its for life.
Just repeating what we all already know ya!

Tway

Tway & Brummie knows it

I forgot to add about our particular "ride" and bride, how lucky we are to have picked Chelsea , just think if we hadda made the mistake of choosing another team , what we woulda missed eh lads...

Alright Hemingway we get it.


Only joking bro
