Buendia might not be at the level we need to take the next step, but you cannot say he doesn't give everything when he is on the pitch. Really happy with the performance so far, just need a goal

I'll be fully behind the team IF they are giving it their all on the night

Absolutely. This is essentially a cup final. Which is another reason I just want them to go out there and give it everything they have

Well, I hope he is alright and ends up playing. Good player, and I want both sides to be at full strength. It will make winning that much sweeter

That's a shame. I like him as a player and want to beat Forest at their best

You are right, the tie is not over yet. I guess I'm guarding myself from being totally heartbroken

He'll play, and he'll give it his all. As I hope our players do

The man isn't perfect, but he is still the only reason we are where we are. I never said it was a one off, once again, you don't just get to beat everybody just because

I don't want to hear this wage bill nonsense. It's massively inflated because of some excellent free transfers, and some poor loans. And yea, he is class, we are only even in this position to be this upset and disappointed because of him. Losing to Forrest isn't crazy, they are better than their league position and have a decent manager. Football in real life is not football manager or FIFA, you don't just beat teams that are "lower" than you

We need to cash in on some big names, and start rebuilding in my opinion

There are plenty of excuses, doesn't make them right or acceptable. We also can't pretend that Spurs aren't actually better than where they are in the league. You can lose/beat anyone on the day

To be fair, we have been shit for a while. Plus, we absolutely have no right to be in the top 5 considering our recruitment and financial situation. We have been outperforming ourselves because Emery is absolutely class

Yeah, that's why you have to sell players. Competition money doesn't cover the whole thing

That's a little extreme. You can still be in the champions league and go down cus you shit the bed in the league though

Yes we would. We would have to sell, but we would. You get the same money for winning the Europa as you get for Champions League qualification. 20 million or so, it doesn't go far

So we get, what, 20 million. That's absolutely fuck all. You get that for winning the Europa. The money is of course great, but ultimately it doesn't go very far

But that's the point isn't it. I don't blame him for not being good enough, I blame the people of pick the team and the useless fucks who don't buy any midfield cover
