We'll have to bend our minds to analyse where we are, let alone understand what we are watching.
To be blunt, the daming certainty of ‘he’s sh*te ’, and the ‘substitutions sucked’ lack the required nuance. So once again:
Long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to light.
Satan speaks the quote in Paradise Lost as he addresses his fellow fallen angels in Hell. The line highlights the immense difficulty of moving from a state of ruin, darkness, or despair back toward grace, goodness, or redemption.
Anyone who watched us play over the last few years knows something of ruin, darkness, and despair.
Tel is indeed sh*te, but that doesn’t affect the fact that Richarlison is on the EPL squad sheet and that Roberto holds the training sessions and still won’t opt to play Dominic Solanke over him.
So, in respect of Tel, it’s your move.
We’ve no strikers worth a damn and far too many supposedly first team stars on the way back to their best.
Everybody else is no worse than one might expect, given the disruption that dismantling a squad with RELEGATION FODDER stamped through it like the name of some cruddy seaside town through a stick of rock.
So be my guest, and in the immortal words of Tears For Fears: "Shout, shout, let it all out. These are the things I can do without".
The truth is, it all just adds to the noise. We are just going to go to our underwear drawer and pull on a pair of big boy pants.
This is likely to be a rather bloody season, and whining like an unpaid whore over all the way through it about substitutions isn’t going to cut the Colmans.
Yes, the game was unwatchable, but so was most of the entire last two seasons for those of us who might like to class ourselves as purists.
I’m not endorsing the Spurs product; it’s not my product. I’m simply taking a pragmatic approach. Last season, they beat us 3-0 in this fixture.
As a doctored sign in a Colchester bookmaker’s toilet once advised: ‘Please do not throw losing tickets yourself down the toilet’.
When Tosin was at Fulham, I liked him. Like all idiotic footballers though, he chose Chelsea on a free transfer instead of thinking 'The wages are good, but am I actually going to play?". At £12m, this is good business, unless there is something I don't know about severe mental health issues or 16 kids with 9 women.
He's far better than Danso or at least he was.
Bar 3 or 4 regulars we are building a new team from scratch. Patience is the order of the day. Tel is a problem, we need Mudryk to be a success.
