I rarely post, but I have to say the negativity towards the team is mortifying. A team with a new, young manager in his first season; a guy that had to replace a legend. Slot is still learning the intricacies of managing at this level, and yet he's about to WIN THE LEAGUE! Let that sink in. Yes, we limped out of Europe and the domestic cups, despite getting to the final in one. But who cares? We've won a grand total of ONE (1) league title in THIRTY-FIVE (35) years. How can our fan base be anything but ecstatic about winning the league again? It's our holy grail. We should be excited! In Slot, we have an astute and technically sound manager that, in my opinion, guarantees many more trophies in the years ahead. But for now, hey, we're winning the league. Enjoy that!

Is he really learning? Endo was needed in so many games as a ball-winner, and the team clearly needed more rotation to rest players. We had a great first half of the season, but since February we've been really poor. In my opinion, Slot has to take a lot of the blame. I'm glad we're winning, but it feels like we're going backwards. Hopefully a summer transfer will fix a lot and slot gets players that he trust.

We are top of the league by 13 points. Get a grip.
13 Apr 2025 16:52:06
Yeah we’ve been so poor since February.
So poor that we’re only 13 points clear.
Sack Slot.
Sell everyone.

We lost the final against Newcastle because the players were exhausted. We got knocked out by Plymouth because Slot wanted to rotate and played all the fringe players. We went out against PSG because the core players were too tired to make it to the penalty shootout. Yes, we’re winning the league, but are we really playing well?

Completely agree Ezra. I think there is a lot of nerves in the camp and crowd. Slot just doesn't seem to want to gamble with squad until it's all done. I really want to see more of Endo Chiesa and Elliott too but maybe he relaxes once the thing is clinched and gives some time.

C0ffan must be a troll surely?
"Slot has to take the blame".
For what exactly, winning the f###ing league?!
13 Apr 2025 17:31:37
I blame Slot for us winning the league, RedChester. How dare he.

‘Yes, we’re winning the league, but are we really playing well? ’.
I think that line sums up why certain supporters don’t get others.
Personally, I can’t get that view point. I would love us to win the league and play amazing football as well, but winning the league is amazing in itself.
Some people will never be happy unless everything is perfect. That’s fine, that’s your prerogative.
Personally though, I really can’t understand why you aren’t happy with what’s been achieved this season and looking forward to what can be achieved in the future.
I respect your view, but I really don’t understand it.

Coffan, your comments are beyond shocking.
13 Apr 2025 17:59:10
C0ffan's views sit along with the tiny minority of our support, Ezra. He/ she are entitled to them but they are drowned out by the vast majority.
13 Apr 2025 18:04:13
Ezra - Apologies for having the 'wrong' opinion on a banter site. I suppose you're someone who can't be friends with people who hold different political views?
13 Apr 2025 19:23:20
@COffan, rhetorical question - are everybody’s opinions always right?
13 Apr 2025 20:06:52
It depends. If we're talking about subjective opinions, then everyone's personal view is valid for themselves and maybe for others too. But if we're talking about objective truths, like how 1 + 1 can only ever equal 2, then it's possible to be wrong.
{Ed001's Note - 1+1 does not always equal 2 either. If you were using binary, it would be 11.}

Ed - not trying to be a dick or anything but 1 + 1 is 10 in binary.
