Woolwich aren't even good, which makes us pathetic. god this is a sad team we got. hopefully we can figure out how to bring in some class this summer.

But that is the job of a chairman. Stay cool in the times of need. We were doing fine, goal difference aside, we could see albeit slowly, a formation.
The fact those players brought in for a hundred million were shit wasn't AVBs fault. He still continued on a plan.
I wish he was given free reign over the 100m cos levy fucked it.
The twat
weren't we about 8 points off the top when AVB went?I mean we were in 8th when AVB was sacked, now we're in fifth. Where would be without the reintroduction of Adebayor too? I would have given AVB more time probably, but it's a stretch to claim we were fine.
Levy not getting Moutinho was the beginning of AVB's demise but if AVB had control of our transfers we also would have been paying 40m for Hulk which is terrifying.
Ultimately, if sacking AVB allowed us to do the proper early groundwork to land LVG this summer it will all prove to be worth it despite this season being a shit heap.

I think we were 7th, no? 8 points off 1st, 4 points off 4th. Now we're 13 points off 1st and 7 points off 4th (with 3 of the 4 teams above us having games in hand).I mean we were in 8th when AVB was sacked, now we're in fifth.
I have to point out in the interest of fairness, that whilst we were 8th, we had a game in hand and were technically only 9 pts off the top, with Everton in 5th - four points superior
We've now played an extra game than our top 4 rivals (excl Chelsea) and are 13 points off the top.
If Everton win their 2 games in hand, they'll be 5th - four points superior
They're up against Swansea & Newcastle, technically two teams without a manager (one has a player/caretaker, the other is on a stadium ban).
This isn't a pro AVB or anti Sherwood post, more a balancing of stats. We've not achieved much by sacking AVB, but I don't think that was the point in Sherwood anyway - I can't see that he was ever going to be (short of a miracle) a long termer
weren't we about 8 points off the top when AVB went?
Ah, good to know. I heard TImmy's comments and thought that maybe we gave them a go at the game. Figured that was hopelessly optimistic.We crossed a lot. Woolwich were shit. Rosicky scored a worldy after Bentaleb cheaply lost the ball and Vertonghen and Rose were MIA.
Naughton had his best game for the club, so did Chadli. Townsend was ok. Bentaleb sloppy.
We had most of the ball but hardly had any clear cut chances. Their CBs snuffed most out. Sherwood acted the cunt on the sideline again, also had a few strange subs.
You'll hear platitudes about us outplaying Woolwich. They barely had to break sweat - our best chance game for their dickhead keeper fumbling.
A+ for effort!They got an early goal
We battled well
Played better than recent games
Wenger blows goats.
I'm aware this is prob not a haiku but I can't quite remember the beat as I'm rather hammered.
That's beautiful...man.We fail to create
Chances. Them lot score early
And sit on their lead.
I'd have written a fucking sonnet.
Sherwoods definitely losing more games.Yeah but it's just different now because we've played more games so the table is further extrapolated. You're going to be closer when there has been less games played than more if your results remain steady which they largely have.
As I said above it doesn't matter. Neither AVB or Sherwood have done well. They are both poor in their own unique ways but I think it is largely because they are both massively unexperienced, neither a good mix with one of the youngest squads in the league.
Soldado finally gets a goal and what happens.. He is dropped for 3 games, One of them In favour of harry Fucking Kane.
