Quite a lot of antagonism around the Poch situation, which is a shame. In my lifetime (I'm 45 this year) Redknapp was the guy who made us the most fun to watch, and Poch was the guy who made me dream.
I sat, cross legged on the floor, holding the ear of my dog with a compress after he cut it on a fence the night we got to the final of the champions league. And I howled with joy at that result, firmly believing, as did the players, that this was our time. We were going to come out of the gooner shadow, eclipse cheatski for a season and have a trophy to shut all the knobs in the pub up.
We all know Poch gave us the best cup run in a generation, so it doesn't matter who thought he should go or stay last time out.
If there's a chance of that magic again, of him turning Sarr, Porro, Skipp, Parrett, Scarlett, Devine, Udogie and Sess into world beaters, if it lures Harry into seeing out his career guiding these players in the latter years as he becomes an attacking midfielder, then we have to take it. We know the formula, we loved it first time around, and now we have a 62000 seater stadium while will become a fu king cauldron. Think we were mighty at the lane? Watch the Poch effect at the New Lane.
Coys!
Stirring stuff. Change 60 for 45 and i could have written that first paragraph myself
