How long did it take Suarez to hit this kind of form? He averaged one goal in his first 18 months with you and wow, £16mill Henderson has finally hit some form after 2 and a half years? You had the same problems as us and did far worse than us so it makes you look foolish to take the piss. "Stupid" was an observation, no need to throw insults for the sake of it. As I've said what you went through is important because you spent £100mill+ and went significantly backwards initially yet you've been trying to point out how "horrific" it is that we've lost a few games badly after spending that kind of money. That's a special level of delusion. One other thing, at least wait until you've built up a good lead on us or finished above us before you start trying to judge us, this could all end up biting you on the arse just like it has in every recent season.
Every recent season? The last three you mean. L.F.C nearly went bust and that's the only reason a pitiful club like Spurs finished ahead of us. It was only a matter of time before normal service was resumed and its happening a lot quicker than expected to be honest
It's a fact that we are making 'Pool look better than they have any right to be, at the moment. Once we get it right (ie. players gel, Sherwoodie is replaced with a real manager, etc) it will be business as usual, and we'll be finishing comfortably above you. As for 'Pool, I'm not convinced that you're going to hang on to Goofy. Yes, there's this release clause for £120 million, but absolutely no one is going to pay that kind of money (although I suspect that Goofy's ego thinks they will), and when they don't and it dawns on the idiot that he's tied himself for even longer into a backwater club, he'll really lose it - tantrums, refusing to play, dressing room discontent, etc - and you'll be forced to sell him for something more reasonable, like £40 m.
To be honest we're (mostly) all amazed at where we are in the table. We royally ****ed up a few windows ago with the January/summer outlay. But when you look at it - Carroll - utter waste, worst transfer ever Downing - average player, hugely overpaid by about £10m+ Adam - was effective but not good enough to play Rodgers' style. Waste of money when you think his fee could have gone towards someone else. Henderson - turning out to be totally worth the £14-16m we paid. Enrique - solid, worth the money. Has been missed this season. Suarez - no description needed. Would sell for enough money to make up for Downing and Carroll. Coates - youth is a gamble, came with a big reputation... Probably a waste but we'll get a few million for him.
A top club, like Spurs, finished ahead of you because you were ****e! You spent over £100mil on wastes of space like Downing, and now you have the nerve to come on here and start crowing because you're a massive 3 points ahead of us. Without Suarez, you're just an ordinary side, nothing more!...
"very recent season? The last three you mean." Four. "L.F.C nearly went bust" Like Spurs did in 1991 ?? Only surviving cos the bank feared a massive PR sh-t storm if they pulled the plug, and a world class asset had to be sold ??
Don't think there's any "crowing" tbf, just that you are simplifying things as to why we slipped out of the top 4, almost going bankrupt, the court battle for ownership, Rafa's departure, Woy's arrival, Kenny and Comolli's financial balls up, Rodgers needing time to settle in and to rebuild. The rot had already set in before the transfer farce and Spurs have missed their chance to cement the top 4 place on a permanent basis due to your own clubs balls ups, we're just happy to see progress after the turmoil of the last 3 years And looking back in the thread you've done plenty of crowing and piss taking so stop whinging when the chickens come home to roost.
you gotta just laugh at pool fans,they will grab at any straw,to deny they have been ****e until this season,and even now there are only 3 points in it
I don't crow, and I only respond to piss takes with one of my own. I agree that you seem to be making progress, but to blame all your recent past port form on nearly going bankrupt is wide of the mark. There was a lot more too it than that. As YV has said, don't shout too loud just yet!
4 points. Your hilarious GD means you will need 4 points. and tbh you spuds have it coming, the sheer arrogance spurting out of you after your flash in the pan CL year is incredible and that is led by Levy who expects such ludicrous things from his managers. You should never have sacked Harry ffs
If you finish in the top 5 of the Premiership in 4 consecutive seasons, I think you're entitled to call yourself a top club!..
That's the point of the thread I thought? The thread has recently backfired on its creator and you can't blame us for having a giraffe when Spurs get tonked after the stick we've had off you fellers. Anyway if you win 31-0 next time out its as good as an extra point
The thread was started to wind you lot up. At that, it seems to have been even more successful than it's creator dared hope!..
yea however you want to play it, if you're still hunting for 4th then fair enough, don't let your severe beatings keep you down. Most of us just find it hilarious that you guys will find any excuse to get around the fact that we have a better team than you when you've just spend £100million on tons of new players. "its all luck" "it's all Suarez!" "punching above their weight" - whatever helps you sleep at night
How do you work that out? If you were correct you'd be extracting the urine now instead of trying to convince yourself how good Spurs are and their place in the bigger picture of the English game.
I don't recall saying we were particularly good at the moment, although out league position is hardly dire. As I have said, I didn't create this thread, although I would have thought it was blindingly obvious what it's intent was. Again, I don't come on here to take the piss, merely to respond in kind to those L'pool fans who do.
