It's like what happens after a divorce (speaking from experience).Some serious revisionism going on with some. Lop took over a side bottom of the league and in disarray after almost half a season of Bruno Lage, and got us organised, with some very good results on the way. Yes, there were a few shockers, but our squad had some big deficiencies last season, even after the improvements we'd made. Talking of which, the January window he would have had a big part in has proved to be a very important one for us, even now - Cunha, Dawson, Lemina, Gomes, Sarabia. All have added a lot more balance and ability to our squad.
I don't blame him for leaving. Yes, it should have been handled better but there's no doubt the goalposts were shifted and the club ****ed him about a fair bit. I don't trust Shi whatsoever, it all should've been sorted before we even kicked a ball in preseason. That Rennes friendly provided a lot of promise, but you can't have someone in the dugout who clearly isn't happy to be there and is constantly unhappy in the press.
If we'd been able to offer him the same backing as Villa have Emery then I think we'd be looking at another European trip next season. After all, GON has done well arriving a few days before the season started, zero signings in January and what is ultimately a paper thin squad. Will be interesting to see how he does at West Ham if the rumours are true.
You forget when you first kissed and when every moment apart was filled with pining for her. You forget the thrill of going to meet her and worrying if she'll have changed her mind. You forget the nerves of your wedding day and the joy of having your first child together. You forget about all the uncontrollable laughter you shared together.
All you can remember is her throwing that frying pan at your head and calling you a fat, useless lump as you trudged down the drive with your suitcase.
