    I think it would be useful if we rated the various squads in terms of our subjective assessment of their OVERALL quality. Averaging out the results will allow us to as a group decide exactly how bad of a season we've had, and who our collective manager of the season is (and who the worst of the year is)!

    Here's my attempt. I unfortunately couldn't put us lower than 8th, though I tried.

    01. Man City
    02. Man Utd
    03. Chelsea
    04. Spurs
    05. Arsenal
    06. Liverpool
    07. Everton
    08. Newcastle
    09. Swansea
    10. West Brom
    11. Fulham
    12. West Ham
    13. Southampton
    14. Aston Villa
    15. Stoke
    16. Sunderland
    17. Norwich
    18. Wigan
    19. QPR
    20. Reading

    I'd have to put West Brom above us on the basis they have four strikers capable of scoring goals at this level. Though we have more quality in other areas, goals are king in the PL. Maybe Fulham, West Ham, Stoke for same reason :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Squads are about balance and ours is awful in that we have a lack of goal threats and our creative players are very injury prone.

    It's not what the bored people around me at the game think.

    If we don't beat QPR... let's just have everyone pretend that mine is actually the league table... It would confuse WUMs massively <laugh>

    Stoke's squad is really ****, but their style of play works for the little quality they have.

    Crouch and Jerome up front ffs.

    Kightly and Walters on the wing. They dont play pennant. Etherington's going.

    Charlie Adam and Nzonzi are an ok CM pair. Their back line is average. No pace at fullback, no real quality. Just big bastards that can sit back.

    Hopefully the injury is long term and he doesn't have chance to disgrace the black and white again. The guy is a bottom feeder and the luckiest bastard in the world. Plays for a Premiership team, on 30,000 quid a week and is wretched ****. The sooner he goes the better. The guy is a parasite on this club

    If we did the quality of an 11, ours would be quite high but the squad of 25 or even just the bench Newcastle start to pale in comparison to others.

    Once the mackems sign Edison Cavani for 50m, they'll have a better squad too. <laugh> Their new Director of Football appears to be a sensible lad.

    Even in our darkest moments, the unwashed still find a way to give some light relief

    I read that. I don't use the word delusional unless it's for people with mental issues that make them believe they're invincible but that lot do like to push it. <laugh>

    To be fair we have been one or two good players short, probably inevitable for a newly promoted team but we have dropped way too many points for it (like yesterday). But equally we have been lucky to avoid many injuries to our best players.

    I like Marcus's read on Cleverly. That lad needs a trip to the opticians. His classic was trying to bracket Gouffrans trod as the same category as McManaman's assault <laugh>

    Stupidity is such a poor alternative to common sense.

    As an individual team QPR are surely in the top 10?
