My brother is named Keith. Come to think of it, one of my kids does look a bit like him.

To begin with, relegation to The Championship was such a depressing concept I couldn't believe it. And I mean, walking out of the KP after the West Ham game I couldn't believe it.
Now, though, I'm looking forward to seeing the rebuilding process and visiting some interesting places up north (Rotherham, Sheffield, Sunderland). I'm not a season ticket-holder, just a member, so going to away matches was near impossible in the Premier League.
In the entire period from 2015 to 2023 all I managed was Chelsea away twice, both times because a season ticket-holder had tickets and couldn't go. At least I got to see Gary Taylor-Fletcher play in midfield though.

Yes. Lets enjoy it.
Meanwhile I'm off to put lipstick on a pig & pretend it's Eva Green in a thong.
**** off.
I can't wait for 6 months from now when the thread " If we put together a run we can still make the play offs " goes up.
Jesus.

It took the real Pep about 7 seasons to achieve his objective. We just need to give Pep off Wish the same amount of time. Trust the process, trust the philosophy.

Nobody wanted to be relegated but the pricks in charge couldn't see it happening in front of there eyes so if we had stayed up last season we would of appointed Smith and then had another shite season followed by a sacking and inevitable relegation.
The best hope is being relegated has kicked Top in the bollocks and woken him up, Enzo Maresca will definitely need to hit the ground running.

First 6 games are winnable imo, always look forward to the start of a new season, BR shat all over that with the Brentford game last year.

If ever there was 2 first games that set the stall out for the rest of the season [in a shite way]
Bolton and Brentford

The same pricks are still in charge though. Having exonerated themselves from any blame after a thorough 5 minute post mortem. It should be clear by now that Top is an absentee landlord leaving the decisions to Rudkin. I don't see any of that ending well.

Same as the last 6 games of last season then.

I was in a reasonably happy mood today.
Then I got an email from fantasy league reminding me to pick my squad for the new season.
Got to the bit where you have to pick a club to be informed about & be put into the supporters league.
Had to tick the " I don't support a Premier League club " box.
Bastard.
****ing bastard.
Day ruined from that point on.
****s !

Ah you missed a trick there, mate. If you tick Man City you get an extra $10,000,000,000 to spend on players.

Exactly that ! what a reality check. I was so relieved there was "none of the above option" i was going to go for Luton dont know why just felt slightly less unfaithful
I am with the "let's make the most of it" school of thought. The mistakes that have happened over the last few years hopefully will never be repeated. The twin evils of high wage contracts given to players who never deserved it and the inability to sell those very players because nobody else would be stupid enough to match them have meant that we are now severely financially constrained.
I hope that the Vichai philosophy has been restored. On the basis that this is the beginning of a new era, I am feeling very optimistic, having said that, I am an optimist by nature.
