That's nonsense and you know it. Like saying we were flukey to finish 5th.
How is it nonsense? We improved massively last season, Spurs improved barely from Jol's tenure if anything at all.
That's debatable, plus Jol is a good manager anyway so I don't really see the point?
Probably because Jol never got the same plaudits as Redknapp did.
Shame that he never got to finish the job he started.
Was Pardew just flukey that Liverpool and Chelsea were shit last season?
Even if they'd done well we'd have still overachieved and moved forward massively on a limited budget.
I'm shit.
With the transfers isn't it important to make sure not to use them all now, since in the knockouts you will need to basically change the whole team to the players that are left?
Giroud rejected Valencia, Malaga, Zenit & QPR in favour of Arsenal. All 4 clubs offered much higer wages than #afc (via @GrooverBlog )
Fair play to him.
