oh when will they learn

I target would be say.....consolidate for a few years, become established in the PL again.
To say your aiming for CL already is down right silly, come on surely you can see that?

 

I never said it was realistic, but if its possible are we going to turn around and say no? We can back there but don't think Shola will be there if we ever do. I did forget about Richardson's comment when he first signed for you that the team u had could finish top 4, and you finished 15th.

 

footballs must have a thing for making stupid ass comments lol, but is it possible? with Carrol i would have said perhaps, the boy really is going to be a top top forward for years to come but now no way. Even with the 35mil you got for him. Do you really think MA is going to do what we all know he should and invest it all back in the squad?....The same MA that has a well documented history of making utter catastrophic cock ups and doing the complete opposite to what he should....the jurys out im afraid

 

Yep 5 toon supporters

 

That's not the stupidest thing Shola's ever said.

I once heard him refer to himself as a footballer.

 

Even most mags would agree with this, he has one or two decent games a season and the rest is pants. Trouble is he seems to save his blue moon games for the derbies ...

...er, I'll get my coat

 

This one got knickers in a twist, black and white striped ones, wind em up, reel em in......... feed the plums,

 

Lets get this clear. You're taking the mickey out of Shola who's played 37 games in Europe (That's outside of England by the way) and scored 12 European goals? And we're deluded?

 

When will mackems learn to stop saying things which give us ammunition.

Anyway, Shola has something which a lot of your players are lacking over the last few months - some bloody ambition and optimism.

Yeah, he's being over-ambitious, but I'd rather that instead of sulking and thinking we're destined for mid-table mediocrity. This self-defeatist attitude is what hampers most teams in my opinion. Champions League? I highly doubt it. However, Europe is possible. It depends how we spend our cash.

Heed his words though, and heed them well:

There's also a possibility that this is a PR tactic. We'll be buying some top players in the Summer with ambition, so we need to come across like we have ambition to reach the top. You guys might see it as delusion, but transfer targets from around Europe will see it as the attitude they'll want from the club and the players if they consider joining us.
