quayside Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 That player is Tioté btw, if such a problem actually exists. The problem does exist and not only for us, any side in the league can be shafted by rainy evenings in Stoke or in fact games in any weather at any time of day in Stoke. On the evidence we have so far Tiote is the nearest thing we have to a street fighter, Barton (if committed and still at the club) can give it out and Colo isn't a pushover either, although he is not a massive physical specimen. Be interesting to see whether some of the new boys fancy it as the winter kicks on. Fwiw I don't think we're remotely in the frame for relegation. to be fair most of the new boys will have experience of harsher winters than we are used to thanks to the gulf stream. (though if your point is about stoke as opposed to the weather then i bow to your point) It was a Stoke point - allied to a shit winter afternoon point, horrible combination Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hearing "Where are the goals going to come from" makes me want to hit something. Nowhere you titanic t***. They're not going to come. We won't score 10 all season. Derby, the worst team this league's ever seen by some margin, somehow got 20 despite being literally worse than 11 kitted-out cinder blocks set on the field. And we won't score half that, because I can't see where they'll come from either because I'm a goddamn retard too. Shut up. Die. Do shots of bleach, improve your outlook on life or at least improve mine by vacating this planet. We're not scoring goals. There's no way we'll get any. f*** this thread for the 4th year running.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 We can unplug the relegationometer now that Shola has signed up. PS Should we clear the poll for the new season, or do that many people really think we're 90% likely to go down? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I think we'll be alright this season, due largely to the fact that none of the 3 teams that have come up are doing anything in the transfer market to suggest they are not likely to struggle badly. Don't forget also how downright rotten teams like Wigan and Wolves were last year, have they improved in the close season. So there's really more than enough talent to assure another PL season after this one. Having said that, this was the case a couple of years ago and that didn't stop us dropping. It's key for us to pick up something from a tough early season schedule, otherwise I can see things blowing up, the fans are simmering at the moment a bad start and it could turn poisonous pretty fast.

You may have an incompetent board, a detestable chairman and a manager who is hardly popular with most fans, but at least you've actually signed some players this summer.

Last time I've said that relegation would be a strong possibility because the new players have to settle first and won't have the same kind of character as the lads like Barton and Nolan had, people said those comments were criminal.

taxfree Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 We're weakened both up front and in defense, but in the midfield, I think we're strengthened. We desperately need new players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
