Can we at least all rally around the hope that United might

[Monty92]

beat Spurs on Saturday?

Frankly, I'm petrified, but am clinging on to the hope that Mourinho might squeeze a performance out of them after tearing them a new arsehole last weekend.

Unless they down tools like Chelsea did under him a few seasons ago :-(

Mourinho kind of needs a trophy really.

The bigger picture is getting Pocchetino out of Spurs. I would go along with anything that achieved that, even them winning a trophy.

I am very much afraid, young m, that you are simply going to have to steel yourself to the reality that Spurs will win some trophies for a while. We, on the other hand, will win fúck all.

It happens. Like being bummed, it's not so bad once the tip is in. You get used to it.

:nod: It was bound to happen. We had a pretty good run. After all, the last time it was like this was the early to mid 80s.

I know it goes against the grain here but I would prefer United to lose (accepting that there is no real ‘winner’ in this ****fest).

My hatred for United knows no bounds, factor in JM and their current woes and the thought of them going out fills me with joy. He will undoubtedly turn on his players which is his way, which in turn will see them in another state of flux, more good money being thrown after bad. I think there is a reasonably decent chance of implosion there the longer his reign lasts.

Southampton to then win the final.

Yes indeed, we have been unbelievably lucky. A vast part of our support base has never experienced a period when we weren't very good.

What's coming is entirely healthy.

:nod: I remember the slight air of disbelief when we eventually won that league cup semi final against a Spurs team that included Hoddle, Waddle and Clive Allen. On paper, they should have battered us.

And even then it was obvious we'd lose to Liverpool in the final.

They're playing my beloved Cherries tonight. Surely we can all unite behind Eddie's Army (I would like Eddie to be our new manager, as it happens)?

14/1 on an AFCB win. Get on it imo.

good thing, p, good thing.

I'm getting used to the thought of mid-table mediocrity with the occasional cup run / flirting with relegation.
Apparently, that will make me appreciate what it is like to be a 'real' football fan, alleges my West Ham supporting colleague.

I've always fancied a relegation scrap, tbh. I hoped AFCB may deliver it for me but since that hasn't ever really materlialised, perhaps Arsene can deliver next season :cloud9:

I am not sure I would miss it at all (though I am looking forward to watching the AM matches).

The entire thing up to now has been duller than a night round your house.
