SSN interviewing a few barcode idiots out on day relaease. Now they say we get carried away but its : There best start for 16 years after only 5 games And a couple think europe is fairly easy and one even thinking there is no reason why they can't qualify for the Champions League in a few years. This with having an owner who won't spend a penny. Now i know this european spot is wide open but they are 4th in the league and think they are already there.
It's rather delusional like I must admit. Whilst I personally think the starting 11 quality is there for us to do very well (not 4th mind), the squad depth is not. But hey, just imagine if we had kept all our original players: ------------------Krul--------------- Santon --- Saylor --- Colo --- Enrique Barton --- Cabaye --- Tiote --- Jonas ---------------Ben Arfa-------------- ----------------Carroll--------------- If we still had that, I don't think their comments would be that unrealistic.
Correct! Total waste of money Liverpool paid for Carroll like! I thought 8 mill for Wickham was a lot and hes got a better record than Carroll had at his age! 35 mill for a striker that had 6 months premiership experience is remarkable!!
They had **** games but there's no denying their quality on their day. Anyway, just an interesting point is all.
It will suit the fans they don't work either. Its also like us saying well if we had the team of 1892 -------------------- ---------p--w-d-l--f--a--att--pts 1 Sunderland------- ---------26 21 0 5 93 36 2.583 42 2 Preston North End ---------26 18 1 7 61 31 1.968 37 3 Bolton Wanderersp --------26 17 2 7 51 37 1.378 36 4 Aston Villa ----------------26 15 0 11 89 56 1.589 30 5 Everton -------------------26 12 4 10 49 49 1.000 28 6 Wolverhampton Wanderers 26 11 4 11 59 46 1.283 26 7 Burnley -------------------26 11 4 11 49 45 1.089 26 8 Notts County -------------26 11 4 11 55 51 1.078 26 9 Blackburn Rovers ----------26 10 6 10 58 65 0.892 26 10 Derby County------------ 26 10 4 12 46 52 0.885 24 11 Accrington[2] ------------26 8 4 14 40 78 0.513 20 12 West Bromwich Albion[3]- 26 6 6 14 51 58 0.879 18 13 Stoke[2] ----------------26 5 4 17 38 61 0.623 14 14 Darwen[4] --------------26 4 3 19 38 112 0.339 11 Happy days and not a Mag in sight Syd how much was the season ticket
Syd if you have the programme from that year put it on ebay it will pay for next years season ticket.
The Toon look a very decent side to be fair, i can see us both finishing top 10, so long as we are in touch by January when we sign Gignac...
Squad depth is crucial and the mags are a bit thinner than us, so I'd hope we'll overhaul them by May.
In fairness that is a decent side, it would be interesting to see how it would match up to our best side of the last 2yrs.
Unfortunately I think you'll finish above us I'd say 10th for you 11th for us. Hope I'm wrong though!
