Elliottman Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Was interested to put this 'Europe is hurting us' theory to the test and just see how some past winners had fared domestically. Obviously this isnt an exact Science and it doesnt really prove anything but was a worth a look. 11/12- A. Madrid Winners, Finished 5th in Domestic 10/11 - Porto Winners, 1st Domestic 09/10 - Athletico Winners, 9th Domestic 08/09 - Shakhtar Winners, 2nd Domestic 07/08 - Zenit Winners, 5th Domestic 06/07 - Seville, 5th Domestic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Ive noticed whenever a manager gives a team an excuse for piss poor performances in the decades past, the players respond immediately and play dismally. The most famous is Liverpool at their height on artificial pitches. Getting beat all the time until Dalglish said "NOT an excuse any more do it or you're out" and they never lost on an artificial pitch again. Pardew gave them an excuse before a bloody ball was kicked this season. And the teams performances have - at best - been dismal. Time for Pardew to say "NOT an excuse any more" too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Far too many games for a Club with our squad size. It would almost certainly have a negative effect on where we finish in the Premiership so you can deduct £800k for every position we will undoubtedly drop. Probably a season too soon in my opinion. Although I'd likely enjoy a few away trips! I'll stick! Time to bump and reasses. A fucking disaster of a season. NUFC where in no way shape or for ready for the workload they undertook. And, yet again I was correct in my thought that Europe would be an expensive mistake. Too many games. Small squad. An idiot of a manager. A tight cunt of an owner all contributed to turning this into a joke of a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
