Saha should have done better with a nice Yakubu pass, but that's about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Wigan Scores Camara means we are in the bottom 3 right ? If Wigan win, yes. Keeps us within 5 points of 7th though rather than 7 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone had told you we'd have been 5 points off a European place after a third of the season in July, would you have thought we'd be in with a shout of top-8?

Optimistic Nut Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 This team aint in a European fight. Why not? In the 2005-6 season, with arguably a worse team than we have now, we were 5 points off 7th spot after 14 matches (with the team in 7th having a game in hand), and we finished 7th. http://stats.football365.com/2006/ENG/PR/tonov.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 This team aint in a European fight. The squad we have is pretty decent actually, we just need to sort things off the pitch and we'll do ok. Too bad that won't happen though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 This team aint in a European fight. The squad's worthy of being in one, and some. But you're right in fairness, with things as they are, there isn't a hope in hell's chance of us getting anywhere near Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umer Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 None of the top 10 won this week, thats never happened in the premier league.... this is such a crazy season. I can't believe we are only 5 points off 7th! If only we had a bit of consistencey and won a few games we'd be in the top 10 easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're right in fairness, with things as they are, there isn't a hope in hell's chance of us getting anywhere near Europe. You say that, and yet let's go back to one little moment at Goodison this season. Last 10 minutes at 2-2, if N'Zogbia put that chance away, we'd have 16 points, Everton would have 18. That one chance doesn't make us not in a European battle, in the same way we're still looking at the bottom three, just like every single club from Hull down to WBA are doing.

Yorkie Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm sure several teams could use the whole "ooo, what about the chance that XXX missed..." criteria. It didn't go in, and we are where we are on merit imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't go in, and we are where we are on merit imo. That was the point I'm making though. If that one kick of a ball had went in, I'm sure a fair few on here would be looking at us 3 points off a European place and saying we could challenge for Europe. So just because we missed that doesn't mean we're not in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we can live in hope that should some click with our lot and we start winning more than not we've got a lot still to play for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 It didn't go in man! If Shearer hadn't smacked his pk against the crossbar against Partizan we'd have been in the Champions League. He missed and we weren't in it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
