Teasy Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Someone earlier in the thread posted a list of teams who we are better than, nearly all of whom took points off us. I've now posted a form table, which puts us second bottom. Which form table are you referring to? The one I posted on the previous page http://www.footballanorak.com/FA-Barclaycard-Premiership-Form-Guide-0.html Based on the last 6 games, isn't that quite a random number to base it on??

Guest Knightrider Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Shearergol do you think we're going to get relegated then? Have you read any of my posts? I've said I think Bolton will be the third team to get relegated (with Derby and Fulham) but it's likely that without improving our squad (specifically the midfield) then we'll be dragged into a battle. So basically, no, you don't think we will be relegated either. Like the majority of the responses in this thread... I don't think we're good enough to guarantee that we won't. I think we'll finish much closer to the bottom 3 than we will to the top 7. Where do you think we'll finish? I think we'll finish anywhere from 15th to 10th. As for relegation, of course it isn't impossible, but it's highly improbable. Epecially when you factor in just how poor those below us really are. We are not a good team ourselves but we are better than those below us. I think we'll be OK myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Gol, what I don't understand is that you are posting in other threads about how we can't attract people and that nobody of a high enough calibre will want to come here. Yet in here you're saying that we need these players to avoid a relegation scrap. So who are you criticising? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, another random number. Last 14 games: Won = 2 Lost = 8 Drawn = 4 Is that better? Our form is shite. How can you even argue with that?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the other threads I'm posting that we can't attract the likes of the top European midfielders (VDV, Diego etc). People are saying we shouldn't be looking at the likes of Defoe, Lita, Koumas etc. I personally think we should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Not a chance of us going down. Derby, Bolton, Fulham, Sunderland, Wigan and Boro all much worse than ourselves. We also have a new manager so no more shit tactics. If we play like we did yesterday we will win a lot more matches than the teams below us will.

Keefaz Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 It's got nowt to do with the personnel, fucking obviously. If we get the players performing to their potential we're fucking miles better than the majority of teams below us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how that type of player significantly improves us though, to the point of keeping us out of a relegation scrap. And even if they do, what do we do next year? Are they the type of player that will help us look up the table? Allardyce was sacked when mid-table, the board obviously want better than that. Will buying other (lower-league) clubs' squad players acheive this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Lita and Koumas are both players who can't get their game at teams below us. Fail to see how pissing God knows how much up the wall on overrated Brits is going to do us any good. We'll be back to square one before long.

Geremi, Barton, Emre, Smith, Butt - not a decent central midfielder amongst them. None of them have creative ability (although no doubt the Emre fans will claim that one day he'll just come good).

Guest MaetihS Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 A good manager makes all the difference. I love KK but would have preferred a Ramos or any of the European names we were linked for the good of the club. Just look at Spurs..they are flying and will not surprise me one bit if they win the two cups this season. We have really lost ground on Spurs....

Guest MaetihS Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Spurs haven't any new personnel - how come they're suddenly playing well? They already have a better team than us. The new personnel is the Manager while we get an obviously romantic (but wrong) appointment in KK. Really depressed...watching Spurs giving a good game aga Man U (something that I do not think we can do it against teams like that), makes me thing we are really falling away from the likes of Spurs which were not as good as us just a while back ago. Not surprised Woodie rejects us. I think someone in the forum has said that the sale of Dyer, JJ, Bellamy and retirement of Shearer spells the downfall of the club, saying despite their weaknesses, they are still class players and we are deluded thinking we can attract better players than them. This guy's words are coming true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Ramos was still getting beat off Birmingham at home after longer than KK has had. What does that tell you? Oh aye. Nowt. We should definitely sack Keegan if we get beat on Tuesday though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
