I agree with almost all of that and I'm likewise more convinced that we're heading in the right direction than I have been for a long time.

A good read. What I am liking is that generally the mainstream media don't appear to give two fucks about us. I think that will change over the next two seasons.

After the Leicester game I came away thinking we have a plan. A very good one. Today we executed badly at key times.

That hasn’t happened too often

Excellent.

Seconded

In his short time with us he has made one winter window purchase and already Moreno has slipped in to be the main starter and really starting to look the part.

Cannot wait to see who Emery wants in the summer - im that excited a bit of wee came out although that is more to do with my age :(
