Guest graemeh72 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I think Villa are now the 5th best team over the last decade. Can anyone confirm this? I've just done the calculations, and can confirm that if positions stay the same, we are now JOINT with Villa for the prestigious accolade of 5th best club over the last decade. Should Villa's position improve or ours worsten on the last day of the season, then I'm sorry to have to report that Villa will take on this important mantle, and NE5 will have to revise his copy and paste posts to reflect this change. Ours and Villa's average position over the last 10 seasons is 9.4. Something to be proud of, I'm sure you'll agree. On average we finish outside of the European spots, and barely in the top 10. How's that for positive, Parky? You can do better. blueyes.gif Please can we use the all time Prem League stats http://www.nufc.com/2006-07html/prem-all-time.html even taking this season into account we're 5th and with a far better goal diff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LUKASJJ Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Tbh i cant see ne1 challenging the top four, definetly not next season.

If Stevie G did his cruciates or broke a leg then Liverpool would be fucked Honestly that club never has serious injuries ... then again no club can rival us on the injury front Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1878 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I don't really count Everton as imo they are pretty much at full capacity regarding potential and they will continue with good and badish seasons.

The Bonk Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I like Everton for some reason, well, they just don't bother me as much as some clubs. I do think they'll always be known as "The Other Club" in Liverpool. Which is a shame because I fuckin' hate Liverpool FC with a passion. Similar to Citeh, I suppose.

brummie Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 At the moment, I would say the Spurs have the best shot of breaking the top four. They'll also be looking for defenders in the summer, and if they get them, they'll have a shot. Truthfully, I think we have a long way to go to get into the Champion's League. If we can get a 6th-7th place finish next year, I will consider that a huge success; then go from there. We got to 7th under Roeder with a totally demoralised side in danger of relegation. There is no reason we can't challenge for top 4 next year. Yeah, fair enough. I suppose I was just assuming that we're going to have a couple years of rebuilding ahead of us. All this stuff about re-building is oft regurgitated on here and yes it has its place....Tell me how much rebuilding had Pompey done when they were 4th in the first 1/3 of the season? None. That means nothing, tbh. We were 3rd at one point and hovered around places 3-6 for a while, it means nish. The only thing that matters is the place at the end of the season. FWIW, the top four are light years ahead of the likes of Villa, Newcastle, Everton. Spurs are closest to catching up, but i reckon it is going to take one of the top four to actively screw up and drop out as much as it is about another team stepping up. I honestly don't see the cause for thinking Newcastle are the best placed to challenge, seems like boundless optimism to me. Certainly compared to, say, Spurs (much as i dislike the idea of bigging up Spurs), when you're on course for a bottom half of the table finish. ....and what would happen if Ronaldo or Henry or Drogba we're missing all next season? Ring any bells? If my granny pissed through a cock, she'd be my grandad. And even if you'd had Owen all season, you'd have had that shite defence still. We had to borrow a tracksuit bottomed Eastern European mentalist from Crystal Palace as we didn't have a proper goalkeeper for a chunk of this season. What if we'd had a proper goalkeeper? If this, if that, it counts for nowt at the end of the season. I do like a bit of optimism though so I'll bet you 50 of your English pounds that Villa finish above Newcastle again next season.

brummie Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Can we wait for a few things to happen before I take that bet? The bet is only for Parky. I'm trying to test his optimism. No matter who you appoint (and we knew this would be the case, and were proved right, when we appointed God's man on earth last summer), next season will be about getting the club in the shape he wants it, and consolidation. It'll take time. Possibly forever if he doesn't make shipping out garbage like Bramble, Ramage and Carr, shirking piss takers like Dyer and Duff, and underachievers like Emre and Parker his first priority.
