After seeing Southampton taken apart- I'm really not sure if I want us to return to the premiership. Maybe we are better been competitive in this league? Big fish little pond, rather than tadpoles in the pacific.

Just a view

UTT
 
I'm willing to see us tonked a bit for a season, if it gets us a decent academy and secures the long term future of the club. We ****ed the job up last time, if we get another opportunity, then I hope we take advantage, we have to build for the future and that takes Premier League football.
 
Absolutely right OLM its massively important to the future of club.
We are getting left behind and year on year the gap gets bigger.

Obviously i agree about the academy, i'm just wondering you always come on here saying how great the youth set up is; what are we getting left behind in?
 
I don't want to go through all that again it was done on another thread.
I don't come on saying the academy is great I did though reply to a thread which was ill informed and basically just guessing about what goes on there.

On 5Live they were talking about Rogers' press conference and the indication that he may be signing a free agent imminently. The 2 names they mentioned were Owen and Drogba

Drogba has gone to that Chinese club though, hasn't he?
 
Liverpool appointed the wrong man. Roberto Martinez was the man instrumental in implementing the way Swansea play at all levels when he was manager. Brendan Rodgers was just 'lucky' in that they didn't lose many players, most of the 'key' players for him during promotion from the Championship were players that had come through playing in that system (Joe Allen).

I think they are firmly in the ****, fancy sending Carroll out and not securing an alternative? Missing out on Dempsey by offering £3m instead of £6m - a player who wanted to move to Liverpool, and scored 17 times in the Prem last season? - idiots.

Our own experiences of Hull city trials are ill informed and guessed? Hardly. I understand you're defending your job but show a little respect.
 
Man U v Saints game was very watchable, but what a difference Scholes made when he came on. I know he has fresh legs, but he just took over the mid-field. Even Van Persie interview after the game made reference too it.
Cleverley was ineffective and bringing Scholes on had a huge impact, a world class player for somebody who might not cut it for them.

Sorry to piss on your metaphor, but amphibians don't live in salt water, and frog-spawn gets totally ****ed (technical term, yes) by the stuff. That's why remote islands don't have frogs, and if they do it's because they arrived there on boats or other man-made means of transport.

Anyway, I actually agree with your point. I did think when we came down though that we might score a few more goals than we have done... <grr>

"Boring, boring City!"
 
The most obnoxious player in the Premier League is Ferdinand, massive ****. Liverpool will win the league within 4 years if they keep B. Rodgers in charge.

But you're always biased against Man United and towards Liverpool for some reason...
