Guest Moe-Ali Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Out of the top four managers, i only respect sir alex, never liked wenger, or arsenal, hate mourinho with a passion, seems to think he is chelsea football club, and rafa seems to be more interested in european cups then the premierleague, so i dont even consider him a premier league manager.

Lenny Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Ian Wright in The Sun reckons we'll finish 5th above Arsenal this year. Think I'll remain cautiously optimistic. Must be fucking Allardyce off though, he's trying to quietly go about his ways to get some stability to the club and people are talking to the media raising everyones expectations.

McCormick Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 all of this because of a 3-1 win at bolton... wat if it turns out that bolton is just plain crap under lee, i mean they havnt exactly imposed themselves in the transfer market have they.

Respecting and liking are two totally different things. How you cannot respect Wenger or Mourinho is beyond me given their achievements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 consistency is the key.. if we can beat the smaller teams week in week out then who knows.. 4th n 5th bit of a stretch imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moe-Ali Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 i agree with you, if we loose/draw all our top four fixtures, and win most other ones, i think we're playing in europe next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I don't think we will finish in the top 5 but say we did i fucking hope 40 odd thousand won't boo them and piss off on the last day of 08/09 if we ONLY finish 6th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge f*cking difference. No matter what anyone says, we underperformed that season (03-04). If we'd only been half decent, we'd have walked 4th place. Not excusing the booing though.

Jaehyun Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 A week ago, before the Bolton game, most football analysts and journalists were tipping us to come top 10, now after one match it jumps to 4th? Sure hope we come 4th though, however I'd be very happy with 7th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly going to be against Arsenal & Spurs as they'll be nowhere near Man Utd come May. These are motivational mind games, hoping us, Spurs and Everton will raise their game and get the occasional notch against Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. Thats why I think he does it by the way, not fact, but Fergie always has a smaller team breaking the top 4, and that would be my suggestion for it.

I personally think that there is a very good chance he will fullfill these expectations, possibly with a bit of luck, and a lack of key injuries (although I think we are in a better position now to cope with them), and he could sneak a 4th-6th position this season. We just have to be patient when things start to go against us because they will at some point or other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
