Match reaction vs Norwich

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Then the manager should be sacked as it's down to his incompetence.

It's all very good saying the squad has been weak from last summer, but whose fault is that for not planning and replacing the players we lost with quality?

Pretty much hit the nail on the head, the summer was a laying of a bed that has been a bitch to lie in

If we propose to be a club with any aspiration, which I think we can be. . .we can never come out of a summer and into the first month of a season so badly prepared/undermanned. . .

[Xhaka Can’t]

There was no excuse whatsoever for how badly prepared we were. It was crystal clear to everyone, who was leaving and where we needed to replenish and strengthen the squad. I actually think we were considering banking all the transfer receipts without actually signing anyone after the departures of Fibreglass and the lezza.

So true. This is why we can't have another summer of this BS.

[Marc Overmars]

Just hope it's not a repeat of last summer. My biggest fear is that the RVP situation could drag on and without the club knowing whether they will get 25m, it may affect our activity in the time being.

25 mill for a player in the last year of his contract woulf be a suprise if anyone paid that. Unlike cesc who was younger and on a longer contract, this is well diffrent.

[Marc Overmars]

Well we got 25m for Nasri. Although I guess it helped having City as the buyer.

Yep, we mugged them off in away cause i don't think a madrid or Barca would have paid that. But like you say if he does go RVP its sorted soon.

Same here, but they couldn't get away with it when a few injuries didn't pan out and we got our arses handed to us in the early games. If people had killed the board as I suggested then this season could have been different.

We're on MOTD now. I'll judge the 4 penalty claims

Only showed one for each side, so can assume the second ones each side claimed for were nothing.

As for the two not given one for each, I couldn't even offer a suggestion why either weren't. What sort of industry is it, where we'll never ever know why? I'd have more respect if he said I had a few quid on 3-3, than not saying anything. It doesn't have to be to the cameras but some sort of clarification would do.

Should've been 4-4 then, but either side should've scored at least 7.
