Seriously not bothered about the world cup now, in the England sense. Bitter pill still stuck in the throat. I like it as a spectacle, so I'll dip in and normally a team will start to grow on me, probably an underdog.
With you on that one. i don't know if i'd be more interested if the transfers were tied up before the WC starts. I think having it drag on might make it harder to watch.
We should try signing Romelu Lukaku! That Is really the only thing close to Lambert, With his presense, Creativity... etc
I hear plenty of gloating from the other end of the M27!! Never mind folks. We more than succeeded in our first five year plan. Time to regroup and prepare for a renewed assault in the next five years as the present crop have taken us as far as they can. Fresh blood, innovative ideas and new hopes await!!
Perhaps a strike force of Sam Gallagher and Bendtner - he is available!!! Perhaps we should get Moses from Chelsea, should Lallana go, and their permanent on loan midfielder whose name escapes me at present if Chelsea decide to renew interest in Shaw. And if Shaw goes to United, a part-ex for Buttner who we were interested in signing after our promotion.
Didn't think it was possible to make me feel less positive about the future! A team made up of mercenary top four club rejects - that'll get us somewhere!
Rather try the kids. Might be worth adding that I don't think there's a new crop of kids ready to dig us out of losing the 1st team.
