cellone Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 Yeah I changed my mind after reading that Spurs are an 'absolute shambles' and a 'complete and utter mess'. Surely it's okay to be over dramatic about other clubs as well as your own Tony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 I wish Spurs & Liverpool every success with their Europa league campaign. I would love it if they met in the Final Not me. Means one of those ****s would win it and qualify for CL (maybe at our expense ). Best they get to the semis and both lose after extra time in the cruelest possible way. Liverhampton losing to Everton in the final would be amusing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Tony Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Him and Charlie were saying we should 'graciously drop out of the Premier League' in the summer, so I wouldn't pay much attention. Lol, now that's just complete bull****. Don't try and jump on the bandwagon against me by making stuff up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goatboy Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Lol, now that's just complete bull****. Don't try and jump on the bandwagon against me by making stuff up Not sure that Quote can be attributed to you S_T. You weren't exactly positive though: "...We need to accept we will never finish higher than 8th or compete is Europe. Sad, but true. I fear that there is no vision for success, but simply for the club to cement its position as a mid-table side. We can talk about the FA Cup defeat all day long, but we were still a mile away from winning it. Funny thing is, I cant help but think that a further run in the cup might have had a negative impact on our league form and perhaps taken some of our players out of the spotlight. The saddest part of the season just gone is that we have become victims of our own success. We are going to get bullied by other clubs in the transfer market now having missed out on Europe. I can't help but think it is the worst thing to happen to us in recent years. We're meant to look at it as a successful season. Call me a bed wetter, pessimist or whatever but we will look back on this season in a few years as the beginning of the end." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Tony Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 You can find a 1000 posts like that from the summer. Once RoKo came in and started building a team I realised we would be fine. No one could have predicted we'd be doing so well. Anyways, enough of this, let's focus on the game tonight and getting 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 11 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 11 February, 2015 I have this perennial battle as to my feelings for footie. Seems silly to enter a competition where only 2 teams, maybe 3, have any realistic chance of winning the thing, but as you say, let's just focus on tonight. Just imagine the fun we would be having now if we had beaten Villa, Burnley and Swansea and got a point at Arsenal and one or more at home vs United.

angelman Posted 11 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Ah...ifs and ands. But that is why I am optimistic for the rest of the season, so long as we aren't blighted with injuries and suspensions. But on the other hand, my pessimism kicks in and I realise that there are no easy games. But as an aside, and we'll see this evening, the media are going on and on and on about the battle for 3rd and 4th. It is not beyond possibility that ManC will lose tonight, and both us and ManU win. That will mean 49, 48, 47 points respectively. I know that the stats show that when Toure is in, ManC win, but they surely must be looking over their shoulders a little bit.

Bearsy Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 But on the other hand, my pessimism kicks in and I realise that there are no easy games. I would like to see some easy games!

Doctoroncall Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Not me. Means one of those ****s would win it and qualify for CL (maybe at our expense ). Best they get to the semis and both lose after extra time in the cruellest possible way. Liverhampton losing to Everton in the final would be amusing too. I'm pretty sure it would be an additional place for a Europa Cup win, whereas as CL Cup win would be at the expense of fourth place in the league if the winners are not in the top four. I'm hoping Spurs' form will trail off after the League Cup final like most finalists do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only if BOTH are won by Prem teams outside the top four that fourth place is knocked down to Europa League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Chelsea 2-0 Everton Palace 2-1 Newcastle Man United 3-1 Burnley Saints 1-0 WHU Stoke 1-1 Man City WBA 2-2 Swansea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 A Palace win would put Pardew 2 points behind Newcastle and lead to a volcanic eruption of lava and brimstone from the True Geordie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 11 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 11 February, 2015 My preference.... Chelsea win - although Everton are 18 (!!!) points behind us, no need to give them any encouragement. Palace win, as L'house says, it would be worth it just to see the True Geordie venting his spleen. Also the irony in it all. Burnley win of course. Not only because of vs Man U, but because they have so many British players in their squad, have spent 26p and are doing it the right/hard way. Stoke win, presuming we win would mean City only 1 point ahead of us. WBA win - no point having Swansea getting too close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadhall Saint Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 None of these defences seems to be capable of keeping a clean sheet. And there in lies our ace in the hole - we can and do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
