PUNCHING ABOVE THEIR WEIGHT ?

"Okay, I got a theory..."
There’s this club, right, that have had a great season; Champions League place secured, Quarter Finals of the FA Cup, Last 16 of Champions League, Carling cup finalists. What a season eh?

I mean when you look at the squad of players they have, you have to say it’s an achievement don’t you?

The squad has a tiny number of real quality players and many more players who are uninspiring and , let’s face it, not up to much; Denilson, Diaby, Eboue, Rosicky, Almunia, Squillacci, Bendtner, Koscielny, Fabianski. There are also players who blow hot and cold, some times good sometimes pitiful; Arshavin, Clichy, Walcott

There are also a number of other squad players that can’t be up to much, or they would have got games ahead of that lot of mediocrity, wouldn’t they?

Yeah, the rest of the squad must be really dire in that case; Shea, Martinez, Miquel, Boateng, Yennaris, Cruise, Henderson, Aneke, Ozyakup, Frimpong, Deacon, Murphy.

Yeah, looking at how poor that squad is, its been a terrific season!

"mmm, I agree"

    Well not a happy end. Contrast if you will with big Tone banging in the fourth all those years ago. All I can say 'I wasn't there so I don't care' but I do. Surely there is a contract whereby you pay your £0000000's to pay for the team to turn up and at least try to win. Would there be enough muppets out there who would pay the inflated price hike to fill the seats that were left empty by the 'real' fans. The answer would be yes. Sheeple in replica tops? Turn up with flags, banners. Create a situation in the ground where there is real crowd dissent, publicly embarass the board that seem to care only for balancing the books and not filling the trophy cabinet. The irony in all this is that Chapman would have never, never allowed this situation to happen. Nothing has changed from the owners treating the lower class, factory workers as terrace fodder

HATE

Then Now Earlier today Captain Kirk sent me the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG1f-v88-kU&sns=em To say it is both disturbing and upsetting is an understatement. We see the beautiful game as something of a mirror to society and try to look on the community of supporters as a positive force. A set of human beings with some values borne out of an understanding of what this great sport of ours can give us. However, it takes a certain amount of myopia from the Football Authorities to proclaim that all is well. The issues that were amplified over the weekend at Old Trafford cannot be trivialised when we see the full extent of hatred; in any form. The violence is shocking as we see people attacked on a basis that is a result of flawed thinking, and the powers that be proclaim all is well; all is not well. So when I look at those images, I have to ask myself this… http://youtu.be/6RVDQgVxprE

"IF WE BEHAVE LIKE THEM, THEN WHAT IS THE POINT IN WINNING? "- John Connor

"The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that."-John Connor To overcome Skynet was not easy, it involved time, belief and an indomitable human spirit. To beat a machine equipped with superior weaponry and a ruthless access to resources to increase its arsenal took ingenuity and a "never say die" attitude. Abu Dhabi is the ground zero of Skynet and Manchester CXV are the Terminators. The thing about Skynet is that there are no qualms about what their aim is, there are no notions of fairness.  "Listen, and understand! Manchester CX are out there! They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop... ever, until someone stops them flagrantly breaking rules"-Kyle Reese In a landscape where one team dominates it is up to a resistance to topple them, this is made hard when using resources that were ga...

LEAGUE OF ORDINARY GENTLEMEN

Sunderland V Sp*rs ended goalless meaning that Sp*rs currently sit third. It was a game that had 0-0 written all over it after about 30 minutes. The baton now passes to us in today’s fixture against Man City. A win gives us a two point advantage and a draw puts us back in third. One side that we need to be mindful of in the shake up for 3 rd & 4 th is Newcastle who have hung on all season and present a threat to ECL qualification. What the SAFC v THFC game showed is the poverty of this current Premier League; it was awful. A cursory comparison between teams in the Premier era makes grim reading for the current state of the game. The Man Utd of 99 would definitely beat the current side, The Newcastle of Keegan, The Chelsea of Mourinho, the Villa of Atkinson, the Blackburn of Dalgleish, The Liverpool of Fowler, McManaman, Owen etc would batter the Liverpool of 2012. Certainly the Invincibles would put the current Arsenal team to the sword. Even teams like Midd...
