means f-all if we come 4th, qualify for the CL proper. i don't care about that lot down the road.
add a cup to that and we're all good.
heck, we could even finish 3rd yet...
I have to agree with Arc on this one. Lets look at the issues harry has not dealt with well:
Acquiring quality new players
Transfer windows - ins and outs
Dead Balls - corners and free-kicks
Game Tactics - Arse, Utd, City, Chelsea, Sunderland, Norwich etc etc
Team formations, selections and substitutions
End of season collapses
Fitness
These are all managerial/coaching aspects. Harry has failed us.
Glad to see someone is keeping the faith. It's looking unlikely but if we win all our games it's possible. But they have to do what they did two seasons ago and really pull it out of the bag. We also need Stoke and Chelsea to do us a massive favour.....
If all the bad results were scattered amongst all the good results there would hardly be one thread regarding the manager.
I know it's all hypothetical and what has happened has happened but we would still be in the same position just maybe not in such bad form.
Anyway it's all ifs and buts!
if your scenario happened, we would still be under-performing. Arsenal 5 points better off than us and in 3rd, us being joint 4th with Saudi Sportswashing Machine? Redknapp would still be receiving stick
Van Der Vaart?
I don't demand the title - simply feel heart-broken now that we've tinkled away our best season start in 150 years and the Arsebandits made up 15 points on us and will finish again above us.
I'm hurt and disappointed becase this time we had the ability and players to do it but we blew it instead. Like we always fudging go. Top 4 should be the abolsute minimum for this squad. Demanding that is not spoilt or childish - it would be very much realistic and in line with our season objectives from the Execs, etc.
PS. We didn't deserve to win any of the games you listed btw - outplayed proper and fair. Sad but true, mate.

Which says more about our fans than the Manager to be fair

Equally, he's lucky this run of bad form has happened at this point in the season. It's this kind of form happening at the start of the season that got the last manager sacked.
I love the old 'history' card's that get played. I couldnt give a fudging toss (gotta be worth 10 pt infeaction surely ?) about what previous managers have done in relation to Harry, all I know right now is that Harry has been a major contributor of turning a 10pt lead in 3rd and arguably challenging, also a 13 pt lead over the scum into a -5pt deficate in a matter of weeks. Thats whats going on right now and its the present I prefer to live in.
