And with a click, it's gone.

we need something at Fulham!

Indeed. Losing at White Hart Lane is no disgrace, they're a good team, but in the context of the games coming up and the league table in general, this is a bit of a shitter. A draw would have kept us bubbling over, such as we were, but this will just add a little more reason to start worrying.

So we have Doug's penny pinching for years and everyone moans, Randy comes in and gives the manager wads of cash to spend and ultimately everyone moans.

God we do love to moan don't we.

There's no point spending money like it's going out of fashion if two thirds of it is wasted.

MO'N told Lerner which players he wanted, Lerner backed him. If Lerner had denied the manager any money to buy these players he'd have been vilified as Doug was, it was MO'N who said get me Beye, NRC, Heskey, Harewood, Sidwell etc, it was MO'N who then fell out with most of them and refused to play them. How's that Lerner's fault?

For not setting a budget for O'Neill to work with, to not realise that wages had to be built into cash flow projections, for continuing to back O'Neill when it was clear that lots of his signings weren't working.

At least my stream has gone shit to dull the pain a bit.

I hate getting into arguments with villa fans yet its all we seem to have done for the past two and a half years.

I miss the good old harmonious days as we happily marched up the table

Has Bent contributed anything yet?

Fulham ain't bad at home, I just hope Berbatov is still out.

I've only just got back and turned the match on. The problem as i see it is that all their players are better than ours. It's not fair.

 Good point, spot on!

I must be the only one who thought we did OK. We are talking about a team who have just beat man u. Only reason they scored was a fluke goal.

I might be wrong, as I've been trying to block this game out, but I don't think he's actually been able to touch the ball yet.

[Hampshire Villa]

90 secs left plus stoppages.  Easy we're gonna win 3-2

 must go now Matron wants me!

We get the easiest chance of the whole game, miss it, then it all goes tits up.

You know the score on these match threads:

- everyone ok whilst 0-0
- they score a lucky goal and suddenly we've been shit all game
- we get a luck equaliser, it's been a great fighting performance

It's just been pointed out in the commentary of the stream I'm watching that we've won 3 league games since the start of January.
