Craig 6294 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Being in a CL playoff does not mean a club has qualified for the CL. 71910[/snapback] Therefore the great Sir Bobby Robson only got us there once in 5 attempts? Not good enough tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good enough tbh 71974[/snapback] Not with you regarding the Robson comment, Craig. It's really quite simple, finishing 3rd or 4th gets a club into the CL qualifying stage. By definition, qualifying stage means that if a team wins it qualifies for the CL. Until that time, a club isn't in the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6294 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Only when we finished 4th, it'd didn't qualify us for the CL. (They only offered 3 places for England back then). The only time we actually qualified for the CL was the season we finished 3rd - hence only once in 5 attempts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same newspaper who, when writing an article about the building of the new Wembley, about 4-5 years ago, said the FA should ask the chairman of sunderland, BOB REID, for advice on what is required to build such a thing, having oversaw the building and construction of a new stadium like the stadium of shite Edited December 30, 2005 by LeazesMag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Partizan Belgrade debacle followed the next season, after we finished third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a team that without his goals would be without doubt relegation material....that is a cost of 33m quid, before Owens fee, to achieve a team that if he is injured is well and truly struggling.

LeazesMag 0 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) Indeed, and totally relevant points too regarding the subject of the thread, more proof that some expectations have been lowered.... And whats more, it was confidently predicted without the use of a crystal ball, it was all very obvious to anyone unless you wore rose tinted glasses © Edited December 31, 2005 by LeazesMag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
