Re: GAME PLAN

I don't recall there being any air of expectancy v Spurs in that tie. 4-1 down told it's own story. There was a feeling of trying to gain some respectability from the game and in the early minutes of the game Spurs could and should have wrapped it up with two gilt-edged chances. Don't think it was ...

Fortunately it isn't fans who decide who is and who isn't wanted. It cant be denied that Wells was an odd signing and, with the benefit of Hindsight, Walters was a poor one. So to say £8m has been wasted is not unfair. I just wonder how much more we would have wasted if the cheque book was in the h...

We could have afforded £7/8m but why spend money on a player that would hardly play and waste the budget when we also need a striker.
