maybe_next_year Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 48 points would be 'great' ffs, just like any team under him, beaten before a ball is kicked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 How are we making the Champions League with less points then last season Alan? He can't go a single week without saying some daft shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Is this not an over reaction? Did he not mean that was the minimum target, not the sum of our ambition for the season? i.e. Reach 48 pts as soon as we can then go on from there? What, like when we got to 40 points last season? We were ace after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 The thing is, despite his earlier PR bullshit about the CL, you know that he would be genuinely over the moon to get 48 points next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 This is the word for word quote. You finished in the top ten last season, is that the aim again this season? Can you better that? Well the average for this club over the last ten years in the Premiership is 48 points, and I think if we get that, or anything above that it will be a good season for us. Staggeringly pathetic.

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I can't work out whether that's his genuine ambition or it's a ploy, or which is worse. I honestly think it's both, he knows his level of ambition is laughable, he knows that he's winding us up and he knows that he's trodding on our ambition and that it'll work with the absolute morons that swallow it. Honestly, I hate him. He's a total piece of shit. A complete fucking pig. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Just when I had even the slightest hint of regret about giving up my season ticket, cuntface comes out with this interview. So happy I didn't renew. We have elite level muppets running this club and the sooner the last remaining people realise this the better. Another bang average or worse season awaits. Oh the joy.

Disco Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 It's weird, I don't think I've ever properly hated someone before and I never thought the first person I would hate would be one of our longest serving managers. What an utterly rancid set of circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - the wins are shit, the draws are shit, the losses are shit. Even when we manage a vaguely entertaining 45 minutes the manager will do all he can to suck all of the fun out of it after the break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a good part of last season sitting there hoping we would lose and toward the end of the season I would leave the stadium actively fuming when we had scraped a win. Shit times.

Well the average for this club over the last ten years in the Premiership is 48 points, and I think if we get that, or anything above that it will be a good season for us. Staggeringly pathetic. Which I highly doubt is accurate, my numbers are: 2012/2013 - 41 2011/2012 - 65 2010/2011 - 46 2009/2010 - 0 2008/2009 - 34 2007/2008 - 43 2006/2007 - 43 2005/2006 - 58 2004/2005 - 44 2003/2004 - 56 Total = 430 10 seasons = 43 points per season The Premiership kept on going even when we weren't in it because Ashley got us relegated, fucking numpty.

TRon Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 He'll not get 48 points anyway. He's never going to get results without a match winner like Remy in the side. The way he sets the team up we won't score enough goals and we'll concede plenty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I feel really sad that I won't be there this season but at the same time, I've no regrets and have certainly never even considered going back on it. With days to go, I'm extremely glad that none of my money will fund a penny of that man's salary and I hope City give us a real leathering. We need the storm to lift this horrible black cloud.

sempuki Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 65 points or even 60 would show a hint of ambition but 48? We would lose more than we would win. Nowt like dampening any remaining enthusiasm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 We've been fucking shite for the last 10 years, as well - it's almost as if they've been sat on that one for a while but had to wait until they were clear of the Sir Bobby Robson teams first.
