SEMTEX Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 three bigs drop Might as well have gone whole hog and went with "scores" instead of goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 To be on the optimistic side. 1 - The side did finish 5th (and if not for a stupid throw in, would have finished 4th) only two seasons ago. 2 - That side is arguably worse than the side we are running with this season. 3 - They no longer have Europa league games, therefore the risk of injury and tiredness is lower. 4 - Many of the Jan purchases will be better adjusted to the team, tactics and style of English football. 5 - Pardew should have a real fear for his job, which might see him be more open with his tactical decisions. Of course in saying this, the negative side could take up a few pages. Pardew bottled it against Man City at SJP. Negative c***. Complaining that he didn't get us 4th No pleasing some.

Nope, not complaining about not achieving 4th. Simply highlighting negativity and lack of bulls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quailman Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Just seen on Sky Sports News that they have a poll up for 'Who will win the Premier League Title?' The presenter has just said they chose the teams that finished in the top 8 last year. There seems to be a huge error then, because we are on there! Arsenal Chelsea Everton Liverpool Manchester City Manchester Utd Newcastle Tottenham At least we're in someone's thought process! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quailman Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Currently stands at.. Arsenal - 9% Chelsea - 26% Everton - 4% Liverpool - 14% Manchester City - 15% Manchester Utd - 22% Newcastle - 1% Tottenham - 9% 1% - I know we shouldn't be on the poll, but that is still a little demoralising :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I can't see Liverpool finishing in the top 4, especially if Suarez goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Coutinho will be a star. Sturridge will score shit loads if he gets decent service, which he will if they Eriksen or Willian or any other attacking midfielder. If Suarez stays then they'll be in an even better position.

No, because if we had finished 4th, Ashley would have taken that pile of CL money and bought heavily! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 A battle for 7th, like you started two years ago, would be a bit more realistic and interesting, but I approve of your optimism. was one of the best threads that season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Think of it as a balance to the general tendency of wallowing in the worst-case scenario, trying to be gloomier and more self-pitying than the last poster. How many of those "wallowing in the worst-case scenario" predicted we'd finish 5th bottom last season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
