The idea that telephone voters went to bat like that of them ays all you need to know about how Europe views Palestinians or I guess Arabs in general. -
Is anyone else concerned we're going to pull out a Burnley/Sheffield Utd performance?By King Kante

No more Eurovision for me. In 2007 they robbed me. Look at the song I backed: Look what won: You hear Lasha Tumbai now everyday, in every disco, every beach pub. But where did you hear the Serifovic song ever again ?? The Serbian Paparigas woman has vanished into obscurity. The utter scoundrels fixed it. Made me support brexit but only temporarily - because I discovered the brexiteers were loony types. What happened was this: LashBy cosmicway

I think it is obvious Poch is not a top manager anymore, if he ever was. He's not terrible either. Tactically he has not moved with the times until recently, where finally he's deployed the kind of 3-2-5 attacking setup that most of the top teams of the last few years have been using. Graham Potter in all honestly probably would have done a better job this year. But, at this point I can see the merit in keeping him on. Let the players have continuity under him for one more season. Another y

Well, the Maatsen situation was more broadly to do with his insistence not to revert back to a 343 even though the squad make up at times made this the most obvious fit. Instead we wasted a year of Colwills development playing him at LB, Maatsen never got a chance, Caicedo and Enzo got played into the ground/exposed as Gallagher should've never left the pivot to help them out, while he could then play to his strengths and arrive later to the attacking phases rather than instigate them. The there

I doubt we go back to par because we are finishing the season strong and always, I mean always when we end the season like that it spills in the new season until we start to decrease in November. That being said one of the biggest bad for me was Maatsen. I always wanted to give him a try before Cucu, but he kept up with him during that time. Now Cucu has improve, but it would have been better a younger product from Chelsea to be giving the time to adjust. Kind of like he did with GallagherBy Fernando

Not really a surprise with the players/squads we've had in that time.

I cannot say I don't think Amorim is a massive risk, however like @Strike I need a lot more evidence in the next few games that Poch has 'turned a corner' and hasn't just been fortunate with playing out of form teams. Whilst, I am happy to say Poch has had a lot of issues to deal with, he has also done/not seen a lot of concerning things throughout the season. For me, keeping him on and then him going back to par is also a massive risk for next season.

Villa, West Ham and Spurs have been losing frequently. I would like to wait before thinking that the overall performance levels have increased. A much bigger sample size is needed before thinking we've turned a corner. Although I am happy to continue with Poch rather than uproot the system againBy Strike

That will the dumbest thing they do. Amorin is another AVB. Someone who don't have experience from PL and will pull us back another year. Keep Poch, he already had one season and knows the players a bit better. Don't need the phase of "trying out" players.
