Yep no point in revisionism we loved what he did.

What's going on?!

[PeterWithesShin]

After reaching a cup final a few of your best players leave while younger players replace them. So nothing like 2015.

Given the three players that have just left the building I wonder what the plan is for set pieces

I am for change but it does feel like more change than I'd like in one go. I hope we don't sell any more first teamers.

[andyh]

I hope we sell Bailey and Guessand.

[MalcolmP]

So we're Arsenal, did they have a set piece coach or just use brute force and cheating foul tactics. Perhaps we will follow their example.

They mainly fouled the goalkeeper.

What's going on?!

No only one blonde has left not four none ones.

Pako, Rodri and Macphee in less then one month is that?

I'd resigned myself to a bit of a lull season, but man alive...

Ha!

We've been hoist by our own petard: we put a value on each player, and we've been called out on some of them. Not easy, but that's the game we played; poorly because of the iniquitous UEFA regs. I do think some of the Scab 6 have targeted us this summer, to undermine a threat.
And MacPhee is an example of that targeting.

[cdbearsfan]

Numerous player changes. Coaching staff changes.

This summer certainly feels like revolution rather than evolution.

Mmm more desertion…

Or it could be Unai inherited him and feels he’s done his time…..

Yes that’s how I see it, he’s been here a while

It doesn’t sounds like it's our choice, tbh.
