Yeah you're right. No point being over- dramatic. Because most of the same squad that held a top 4 position for 5/6 of last season has had a dodgy start to the season they are definitely now of mid-table Championship ability.

Good shout. And we could probably have 3 less euro qualifying groups

Don't recall any reported issues when he and Vidic played together at Manure

So to put it simply, all we need to do is go out and buy at least 2 fullbacks who are stronger and quicker then every attacker they may or may not face this season? Makes you wonder why we haven't done that already...

/ Spurs employed the same tactic when they signed Lloris, they continued to play Freidel for a bit despite Lloris being a "better" keeper on paper. Forster is long term, but Boruc is established, more experienced in the Prem and it would send a message that he still has a big role to play.

Because Irene said so - and (s)he knows cos (s)he lives in his sock drawer

You regard someone playfully asking you whether you are a mate or a stalker as an "attack"? Wow.

Pre world cup I had a fiver on Fred for the golden boot at 30-1. Meh

I would have chosen Sterling to start over AL

Pochettino to Spurs was on the cards for 4 months before it was announced! My nan could have predicted it.

Yeah and it'll probably rain again later too. Life sucks doesn't it?

Not at all, just aim realistically.

Only a marginally better chance of getting one of them than we have of getting Sir Alf Ramsey

Ah fair enough! Basically everyone wants out of Russia because it's FUBAR? = AVB to Saints! I like it! Definitely got more substance & credibility than some other suggestions! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I think you'd better re-align your expectations pal. Either that or start planning what you are going to spend your match ticket cash on. Aiming for mid table is a dangerous thing I agree, but being happy if that's where we end up having watched young players play some attractive football? I don't think that's sad at all.

Only in charge since April and has qualified for the Champions League so would seem highly unlikely. (unless you have some inside info on him wanting to get out of Russia?)

I neither like nor want McClaren, but he has had a young Derby side playing some lovely stuff this season. On recent evidence he's been managing very well indeed.

I kind of respect the passion you're showing, whilst at the same time chuckling at a quite outstanding over-reaction Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I'll add my name to that list too Mr Shmoe!

Worse still - man who tries to cover up his baldness AND does that weird 'always smiling' thing

Absolutely agree. 95% of the guff that is reported in the media is nothing more than PR waffle. If there's nothing to say, then why say anything.

AVB also likely to be managing in the CL next season. Zenit are 2nd in the Russian league, 1 point off the top with a game in hand.
