jarra, going down has sorted your mob out, the players who are there now play for the shirt, you could see that in the derbies and in matches like the comeback against arsenal. how some of those players were on the pitch the day you went down at villa park i don't know, they're like totally different people
sombrero, i'm ****ing split mate!! part of me thinks that, on reflection, we've had dire luck with injuries and ended up a win away from eighth, but another part worries that bruce led us to a huge winless run two years in a row now, and that if he gets another round of investment only to fall short (or fail short, as it were), the opportunity to establish ourselves as a force in the prem will be gone, and the best we can hope to do is be another pompey or bolton, decent for a few years only to fade. villa and liverpool will be much better next season i feel, everton as long as they have moyes will always be a decent side, and there are spurs and the current big four. not much to shout about hoping to get ninth every year is it?? my feeling with bruce is that i doubt he can make us a team that can battle with the big boys all season. maybe he can, but on his work so far i'm dubious, hence i wonder if a move for someone else will bridge that gap. who knows though eh?? before him we were one of those teams in the **** on a survival sunday, so it's perhaps ungracious to have too much of a go...
