He's not going to say we're going to go down, is he? Fulham have spent £100m and they're rubbish. We weren't ever going to have a major rebuild, we had to gamble our defence was good enough as that what we were built on last year. The lack of a striker was alarming but he tried, and failed, to get anyone in. When the likes of Assombalonga cost £15m, we were always going to struggle to "buy British" or at least from English clubs. Heck, we spent £6m on Madine, so I'd want £20m for anyone half decent if we were that thick.

I'm not defending Warnock here but it's not like we're getting embarrassed. I though we'd win yesterday but we threw it away. It was always going to be tough but Warnock isn't getting it right so far. The frustrating thing is we're not a million miles away but we're running out of time already. We really could do with a result against Spurs, hopefully they get into a good game vs Barca on Wednesday. Probably our best opportunity vs one of the "big boys". Annoyingly we're playing both Liverpool and Spurs after CL home games, we could have done with a nice horrible away day before hand.
