We're supposed to be a top PL club, that's the image being given out by the board and the manager anyway. 2% away from greatness they tell us. Unlucky all the time, had too many injuries, the fixture list is crooked, Internationals are getting in the way, the refs are against us, excuses, excuses. Fact is we haven't spent enough to be genuinely up there challenging. We have sub-standard players in key positions and - as we have seen (have we not?) - Kos is one of them. Djourou is another, Squid is a joke and Chamakh is shit. You hire shit and you get a shit job. TV is not the best defender in the world but he's up to the job. More like him, less like Kos and JD and the defence is sorted. We should have bought another decent CB in the window. We didn't, we'll pay the price instead in terms of poor results on the pitch.
