Finally got some chillout time this afternoon and finally read the last Fanzine and reading the editors columna and then the TLW diary I couldnt help but finding myself agreeing 100% with Dave U who obviously has very similar views to me but is much more elequent in getting those views across and obviously the views were written just after our best two performances of the season. I wonder how Dave feels now because for me he was so close to the mark its unreal. The other pieces about Rafa especially whats going on in the forum were also very good especially the article written by Dan Thomas. You can respect and love Rafa for what he has done but also believe he will never win the title .On reflection I can see that my signature could be found to be offensive by people who see nothing wrong in Rafa so in the spirit of goodwill to all posters I have changed it. Also going through those great goals and thinking back we tend to lose sight of how good a game of football the 2001 UEFA cup final was. Dave also made a very good point and one I share in that our transfer business last summer had a very negative impact on our season and even though Rafa had been negative if we had two world class wingers we would have won games in spite of Rafa’s tactics. Anyway the manager has my full support going into next season as he should even though I remain to be convinced that we will ever win the title with him as manager but as I said after the West Ham game it is time to look forward, learn our lessons and hopefully do some decent transfer business and challenge again next season. For those going on to the Spurs game give Sami a hug for me.
