But the comparison was with Arsenal, who finished 2nd. There is no way their fans would have traded that for winning the 3rd tier European competition. Had the comparison not been with Arsenal, I would agree with the general points made. Success is always relative. Forest fans are elated at avoiding relegation, ditto Huddersfield fans after Warnock’s intervention. City fans will be miserable tonight if they lose despite winning the Double
Goes back to what was said a day or so ago about direction of travel. Arsenal fans I’m sure are disappointed but they’re on an upward trajectory with a young team and a clear sense of direction in the transfer market as to how they might improve again. Sure if they don’t want anything with the group over the coming few years then they might look back at it with a sense of what might have been but for now I’m sure it’s tremendously exciting. Exactly the same as us under Poch. You just have to get the trophies over the line when you’re at your peak and do your damn hardest to stay there, or near to, for as long as possible.
But, of course, everything is above board... Even worse when you see just how slick and professional an operation this "sponsor" is operating Naturally, there's some truly pathetic responses from overly-defensive Geordie twats in the replies The dumbest responses? All the "Other teams have more lucrative kit deals" which ignores those teams owners aren't paying those deals - and given Newcastle spent 95% of their revenue on wages last season, the dodginess is plain for anyone to see
Joao Moutinho is apparently heading off to join Nuno at Al-Ittihad. It's nearly 11 years since his transfer to Spurs fell through. He signed the contract, but it was a minute late.
Inter need to score the first goal, although the preferred tactic may be to bore us through extra time and then it’s penalties (which they’ve no doubt been practising for)
So he mentioned he only looked non-**** because the mid 90s Premier League was, in fact, worse than MLS?
