Happy Face Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 We might finish above Swansea we might not, it's irrelevant to how people think Laudrop would cope with our squad. I know. You're the one conflating 2 distinct discussions there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 You were saying you never thought we'd get close to Swansea. I don't think it's a ridiculous notion that we might. aaah yes, i did say that, and you're right to pull me up on it tbf...i don't think we'll finish above them but yeah we might not be a million miles away from them, it's not beyond the realms of possibility anyway as stated you can have your bet if you factor the points swing for europe against swansea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I said before the season that I think we'll finish 8th like, knocked that down to 9-10th now after seeing Everton and Swansea but I think we'll be about there purely because of the dross filling the rest of the league. I think it'll be a torturous and frustrating ride regardless. I'm happy with that progress. We finished 8 points from 8th last year and were absolutely s****. Anything over 50 points and you're pretty much odds on as you're really only the best of a bad bunch. It's only progress if we maintain it and/or improve upon it though. And Pardew showed last year that he's hardly reliably in that respect, especially without investment. We just need to steady the ship after the relegation battle last season, get some confidence instilled back around the city, our team is slowly building into something special we just need to keep trying to add little bits of quality here and there as we are never going to splash at big style like some teams do. We've came a long way already from the days of Barton/Nolan, we just need to keep pushing on. New owners and a new fancy manager would be nice but that’s not likely to happen anytime soon.

IF we sign Remy on a permanent deal it will take a slight sting out of the abortion that was the summer transfer, however I can see him being touted as our January signing and not much if anything, more happening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
