Sir Harry? I thought he was a Prince. [&:]

No Prince Harry is a prince; Sir Harry is a footballer

Is Prince Andrew still a prince? Or does he have to take up 'football' as Sir Andrew now? [&:]

it reminds me of that season when Levy sold Berbatov right on the deadline, made no effort to replace. Almost as if he was just writing off the entire season.

But if so, and I can sort of see the logic, then yes, work through all the options at the club. If it works, Mourinho gets a new reputation as the creator of chances for new players, it not ... well.

And why buy a potentially good fast wide player when the one thing we don't lack for is pace in the secondary attacking positions?

Any chance that - just for once - just once - we could play 45 minutes of football without totally stinking the place out? Different manager, a few different personnel.... exactly the same inability to score, pass, keep the ball, play intelligent balls in behind the defence, run with the ball, tackle, defend, keep goal. Absolutely awful.

can we re-employ Pochettino? This is the third time Levy has employed someone who used to manage Arsenal or Chelsea and it really isn't a good idea.

And just what is Mourinho trying to do? See he's back on blaming everyone but himself.

As much as I am grateful to Poch for all he did, it can't be denied the problems we have now started about two years ago on his watch. How much of this was his fault and how much was Levy's I don't know. But why couldn't Poch alter what was clearly happening on the pitch, beginning in 2018 and becoming critical in 2019? He seemed to have no plan B, there was never any question of dropping players who simply were no longer playing - Eriksen and Alli being the most high profile.

I mean who was desperate to sign Ndombele for that much money? Clearly talented but has a major attitude/fitness problem. We've already got Aurier, we didn't need another one. Why were we prepared to walk away from Fernandes? Why not get a striker - even a short term fix - knowing Harry's injury problems.

I completely agree on the manager situation. I am not going to say Mourinho was necessarily the wrong choice (though is now looking that way) but Levy felt he couldn't take a chance on an unknown. But AVB will always be a major blot on his copybook.

A stadium to finance, a squad in need of major surgery, a manager who looks like his sell by date has been reached, disaffected players (including Harry)... no Europa League football (let alone the Champions League)... I'd love to know Levy's thoughts and game plan right now.

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark .

At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet , silver song of a lark.

Walk On Through The Wind
Walk On Through The Rain
Though Your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk On , Walk On
with hope in your hearts
And You'll Never Walk Alone
You'll never walk alone .

Walk On , Walk on
with hope in your hearts
And You'll Never Walk Alone
You'll never walk alone.
