    I'm thinking the definition of neutral is not this response ....

    If Poch returns will he be Levy's bitch?

    He would inherit a team which has flashes of brilliance but is too often workmanlike or just plain crap. 

    He will need a Dele Alli and a Christian Eriksen. That won't be cheap. If Harry goes he'll need a new Harry.

    And I cannot forget how crap we were in his last sesson.

    All true @scrumhalf - but also true whoever takes over.

    I'd have more confidence in Poch developing and promoting younger players through the academy.  We spent millions on the training ground and academy - there must be some potentially damn good players in there who are currently getting kept out of the 1st team by mega-£m non-players (ie the workmanlike and just plain - expensive - crap).

    Don't forget, that final season was post the CL final let down, and after 2-3 years of zero investment in the squad.  Any team would have been exhausted after that.  Since Poch left, it feels like we've spent more on paying off sacked managers than he had was given to invest in the playing team ...

    Not often you see : -

    The fab four
    The Famous five 
    the first set
    and the magnificent seven 

    In the same match 

    I had a bet for 3-0 and a red card - How Shaw did not get the red card is hard to believe 

    For Spurs fans - Look behind you - They're coming

    Disgraceful from Man U. Shameful result against the old enemy. Oh well, that’s football sometimes. Next!

       As a City fan, I was hoping for a draw. But I’ll take 7 -0.

    You can always get the old Dele back.  For about 20 quid.

    I would imagine that it is safe to assume no one had a bet on that scoreline

    2 interesting games tonight/Wed in the CL - both teams 1-0 down so all to play for

    No 2nd year blues for Brentford in the PL - Doing very nicely aren't they - Both Brentford and Fulham are showing many other 'bigger clubs' like Leeds, Everton, Leicester, Wolves, West Ham etc etc how to do it and at time splaying with style - Well done to both of them

    I'll take that. Forest have been injury ravaged but should be in a better position after the International Break which will stand us in good stead for the final 10 or so games of the season. 4 wins/12 points from 13 games will keep us up I reckon.

    Which is a good thing to see!

    I believe that they have a very different approach to many PL clubs.  Firstly, no real academy/youth set-up, and secondly they don't spend mega-£ms on (allegedly) proven / experienced players.  

    Presumably that table is *net* spend given the position of the Manchesters.

    Watched Dorking Wanderers vs Barnet last night at Meadowbank. 

    Wanderers’ new signings are starting to make a difference. Finally looking like they belong in the National League.   

    Worldie from George Francomb for the winner. 

    Absolutely fucking freezing though. Couldn’t feel my feet after about 10 mins. 

    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

    But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

    True fan watching lower league clubs - I've occasionally gone to watch Matlock and Buxton near me and its kind of fun - But as you say it can be blooming cold at times

    I see these post saying 'We' and 'We've' and I think who the hell are they talking about? Maybe actually mention the team! I follow quite a lot of top flight football results but I don't see everything.

    Cheers Mark.

    I’m a member at Arsenal, and they’ll always be my first love, but I do prefer going to non league. It's a very different experience to league football. Especially the Prem.

    This 



    Vs

    This



    Supposedly more like going to watch football used to be. I absolutely love it.

    Definitely more of a feeling of a direct relationship with the club. 

    If they can stay up it will be a great achievement. They're one of the only part time clubs in the National League. 

    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

    @chrisbo - I know it won't work, but part of me thinks that each PL club and even the EFL should almost sponsor their neighbour, lower league club - ie Leeds help York - Manchester Utd help Rochdale etc etc - But who helps Exeter and other more 'isolated' clubs - But the bigger clubs have U21 and junior academy set ups that can help with 'on loan' players to their 'partners' etc etc - I dare say there are many logistical reasons why it won't work - But the principle of it is good

    But I dare say the current format whereby the PL provides funds lower down the league is their way forward - Plus what happens when a lower league club becomes more established - ie Bournemouth and even Brentford - Go back 10/20/30 years ago and such clubs were in the lower divisions - The reverse of that is the likes of Derby, Sheff Wed and last year Sunderland, become a lower league club, albeit with more resources than the likes of Burton Albion and Plymouth
