Where did I hear that now?
I've said it before, take 3 players out and we go from pacy to pedestrian...there's no inbetween!
Grrrr! Not this again! ;-)
...I even chose the same wording, just to piss you off!
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

Optomistic = being positive that one can't spell optimistic
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...
