Will we qualify for the Champions League? Sadly not...
toontownman replied to Rich's topic in Football
Well lets consider who we have lured to the team even without European football on offer, this is another huge step up the ladder and opens up a few more doors to names that wouldnt have been interested before. I don't think we have enough in us to finish fourth given our run in comparison to Spurs. Wigan away will be extremely hard and we rarely do well there, chelsea, Man City and Everton likewise. I think we will finish 5th on the basis Chelsea will drop some points and we might scrape a draw against them. 6th however is massive if we end up there. -

This.. Arsenal are well out of reach, Imo. Had City beaten them like the script said I would be rooting for chelsea but I think its better Arsenal win. More incentive for Spurs if they can catch Arsenal and could finish 3rd/4th, more panic and looking down if they just have 4th to cling on to. -

Tbf I think had they won it wouldnt have made a difference. Its just one extra game. They could well have been buoyed by victory of chelsea and turned their poor run completely around. This thumping after the Norwich result could do more damage mentally or could do the opposite too and see them annihilate the opposition in their next matches too. We will see next week. -
It's a foot away ffs. It really isnt, and ITV's virtual mockup thing is way off. It doesn't even touch the line! Seriously, have a look at a replay with an open mind. Ekoto is well behind the line and his clearing foot is always behind it. For the ball to have hit that foot then at least half of the ball must have been over. ITV have used technology to get that mock-up, you're going off some opinion you have. Here's an idea, go to specsavers. Kenny? Is that you?

Well it benefited another London club, so they cancel each other out. Expect a 50/50 split of Chelsea praise and Spurs daylight robbery where both clubs were a credit to themselves and the game for their professionalism during unthinkable circumstances.
-
Kaboul on Holt was worse. They should both get life time bans IMO. Unless they take the community service in playing for us for free for the next three years.

All Roberto has done is pick up the toys off the floor and give them back to the players, they'll be out of the pram again soon enough. How did Glenn Roeder turn our team from 15th to 7th? It's the pick-me-up of losing a manager who the players weren't supporting. What are you trying to say about Hughton now?

Looks like there is another one to review that will get ignored, with Mikel kicking out now.
-
It will be getting binned upon receipt at Soho Square at this rate. If Harry has a rant at Martin Atkinson it might anger the FA. Maybe? As if, he could murder some babies and get let off on the grounds of being a cheeky flappy chappy.
-
Terrible Terrible decision. This has been the worst year for refereeing in my memory. Incidentally did anything happen with Kabouls blatant kick out on Grant Holt last weekend? Was shown on tv but not even mentioned.
-
Downside is I expect Spurs will be going for the throat in the premier league now. They also have the easiest run in.
-
Wow, is the ground announcer a chelsea fan or what? Almost wet himself announcing Frank Lampards name.
-
That video is not serious, shirley..

Love us to play Vancouver given the Beardo/Sir Bobby ties. I would drive the necessary hours to get there too!
-
Maybe we can send him for a year in a premiership club? Just put in a clause so he doesnt play us. I'm sure someone would take him. He certainly needs to be around high level players and coaches. Playing experience in the championship won't be enough for him to improve to where we as fans at least want to see him. Will be enough for us to sell him at a profit though.
-
Competition is not going to make him a better footballer technically but it will force him to actually try harder to work on his game and become a better footballer. He has been in the comfort zone and I think he has taken his foot off the learning pedal because of it.
-
Meh if its not simpson it is Williamson. No surprise the hatred has been intensified since obertans disappearance also. Simpson has the problem of being automatic first choice t RB, desperately needs some solid competition tbh. It is true he was one of our most improved players two years ago. I think he has regressed since though. Needs to up his game to stay IMO.
-
Will be interesting to see where he fits in next year either way. Should be some major competition for that left wing spot. Guti, Ferguson, Marveaux, Ben Arfa, Amalfitano, Sammy for starters..
-
I die a little every time this happens. Always happens in our own box, we just head tamely to the outside of the box and usually to an opposition player. Its akin to Krul just pumping the ball down field or the Williamson donkey rocket, when they could pass it simply and keep possession, then even think about building an attack.
-
We have been linked to him. Think bigger clubs will get him though. Really hope we are looking at that kind of a player, we need someone through the middle with flair and I am happy with Ben Arfa on one wing or the other. Cabaye Tiote Belhanda Hoilett Ben Arfa Cisse
-
Thought Marveaux was tidy all around when he played in the Carling cup. Need to get him consistently fit though. Fergie is an interesting one, he certainly offers something different and fresh and needs to be around players of the caliber of Ben Arfa to improve so sending him out would harm his progress as much as aid it imo. That said I don't see him getting a game or growing into a starter anytime soon. Gut feeling is that we will loan him out next year and cash in on him.

Best wishes for a successful operation and speedy recovery.

Voted yes by accident, stupid iPhone. We certainly have a decent chance but it's out of our hands at the end of the day we need to perform out of our skin and hope other teams with easier fixtures slip up. Think we will finish 5th, depend on the next two games if we beat stoke and get something from Chelsea we will get 5th at least. -
Nearly puked after the Newcastle/Liverpool game in Dogleash's interview when he said they did all the right things a liverpool team should do and "passed and moved." That said, would have been mint if the interviewer had interjected with "well that is the Liverpool groove Kenny."
