Breaking News: Walker runs! Linekar signs new contract. Thinking about it Linekar dosen't sound very English does it!
I'm obviously tired after all that screaming at the PC during the debacle that was tonights game. Its affecting my sullen composure.
All is not lost - none of these played today: Gomes; Hutton, Gallas, King, BAE, Pienaar, Thudd, Sandro, Townsend, Dos Santos, Crouch. We'd have settled for that as a first team a few years back. Coupled with the ten best from those in SA plus a few signings it is still a great squad
Gomes Hutton - gone by the weekend Gallas - injured King - fifteen games or so next season Peanut - not good enough Thudd Sandro - out for at least a month Townsend - won't get promoted further than the bench unless something catastrophic happens Dos Santos - gone by 1st August Crouch So thats three, perhaps four first teamers for the opening game ready And ten from the tour FREEdel Carlo Daws Ekotto Walker Kaboul Charlie Bongani - for ****s sake I hope not, proably loaned (Rangers?) Bassong - gone by deadline day Naughton - will go on loan (Swindon?) Rose Modric Niko (flip a coin, one will be gone by deadline day) VDV Bale Lennon Bentley - gone by deadline day Palacios - gone by 1 August Livermore - another to be loaned out (probably Rangers) Jenas - the sound of the bottom of the barrel being scraped Pav Defoe - on the evidence so far this pre-season, confidence shot get rid PSB - gone by the weekend 2Saints - gone by 1 August Yeah, immediate future looks proper rosey doesn't it Well at least we can fill the bench with keepers again!
LOL your posts are so depressing to read at the moment. We'll still finish in the top 6 next season !!!
Let's be honest, top 6 won't be enough for certain players. Gone are the days when teams were allowed a certain amount of short term failure. Now it's top 4 every season or **** you I want to leave. Much is made of Alex Ferguson being given chances to turn it around. He would not be able to do so today (a state of affairs for which he has a major responsibility)
We won't finish top six next season, we'll finish eighth, and thats me with my optomistic hat on. And don't get me started on the 40 year old "reliable", "consistent" keeper for whom the idea of safe hands is flapping one limp wristedly at a shot from a ****ing right back last night
You can tell that my state of mind has been seriously degenerated by watching that tripe last night when I forget how to spell!
Orlando Pirates v Tottenham Hotspur â Pre Season - Quick match report I thought i'd write up on the game if anybody has the time to check it out
8th? Who is going to finish above us over a season? Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, ARSEnal, Liverpool and then who??
Everton, twice, if I recall correctly. Also Surprise Package will surely also be pushing us all the way.
Even if Modric left and we got no-one in at all, I reckon we should finish 6th at worst. Everton and the rest don't have the quality players we have.
hahaha I forgot about Surprise Package. I still think that we will finish above Liverpool, the signings they have made aren't anything special (Suarez aside) and it will be interesting to see how Kenny does in a full season instead of half a season with no pressure. Everton?? Have they signed Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? Because their current squad is no way near as good as ours.
What site did you use? I'd like to watch the final. You a glutton for punishment? I'll PM it just in case its not allowed. OnlyOneDB.....could you PM the link my way too please?
Surprise package - I think Sunderland, if their signings gel, I really do. Even if we keep Modric, and assuming that we get either Vucinic or that mercenary, greedy twat from the blue Mancs, we're going to struggle - Bale is no longer the quantity he was, pace to burn and ability sure but now other teams know he's prone to injury and can be knocked out of the game (as shown by Charlie Adam) VDV has a suspect temperament Lennon still doesn't know how to cross the ball Palacios is prone to rash tackles Huddlestone's immobile Krancjar probably won't be with us anymore Pienaar isn't up to scratch, a shadow of the player we thought we were getting from Everton Bentley probably won't be here, but has no pace and has lost his deadball ability too and Jenas is just plain ****e but thats only my opinion, and I am either a depressed bloke, bastard or I drink bleach, apparently...
