Kid Dynamite 5903 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Tiote needs to play, perhaps with Anita and Bigi in a lookalikey midfield! Â Cisse, Shola and Sammy up front. Perch and Tav at full back and Willo and STaylor at CB Â Give me few people who run out and more than enough quality there to win the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Ganna be near freezing as the weather changes from Wednesday so could be less than 30k. On the basis that Bordeaux did these 4-0, I think anything other than a win is a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy 12 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think the side might be something like this.  ...................................Harper.....................................  Simpson...........Taylor.............Willo...............Anita  Obertan............Tiote.............Perch/Bigirimana.............Ferguson  ......................Cisse...................Shola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5903 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 It'll be Tav or Fergie at left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I had a read of their forums, their defence is all over the place at the moment, they're suffering a chronic defensive injury crisis. They lost 4-1 to a team which would get relegated from the Championship at the weekend, and looking at their squad they don't really have anyone of Premiership quality. Â That said for them coming to a big club they may raise their game, but I think another 3-0 or perhaps 4-0 is on the cards, irrespective of the strength of the side we put out. Wonder if Pards rewards Disco with a place on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 There's 3250 Bruges fans apparently, and according to me mates uncle who's a steward they're in Level 7.

Â I know what you mean,but does seem to have changed though....Spurs have been in Europe every season since then, we haven't. Do they go on that when these things are decided?...Is it because itv4 is free to air, so theyre going to have more viewers for their games, so the companies will spend more money on the games being televised on that channel, which makes the tv company want the clubs with the highest potential viewers?.....

I've got absolutely NO DOUBT, we get bigger viewing figures than Tottenham. People see us as interesting, your floating voter, plus we have a larger fanbase than them. In 2008/2009 the most watched game on Sky (other than Man Utd games) was Sunderland v Newcastle. Edited October 24, 2012 by McFaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I doubt it. TV companies aren't stupid, they'll be keeping a close eye on viewing figures and decided to show Spurs' league games live on 23 occasions last season compared to our 18. Liverpool have a bigger fanbase and therefore more viewers while Spurs are simply a better team who were being spoken of as contenders for the league at a time and are more attractive to the neutral.

Gemmill 34422 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Nobody watches the Europa League, so it doesn't matter as much which team pulls in more neutrals, cos it's the Europa so no one gives a toss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our relegation season we were on live TV more than Chelsea who won the league. I think it was 21 to 20. Tottenham being in the top three for the whole season may have influenced the above. Five years ago it wouldn't have been an argument. As for the TWD stat, the figures were released by BARB, we had 2.1m watching that game, Liverpool Everton had 1.3m both on Sky. I think living somewhere like Belfast will distort peoples perceptions of fanbases without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The Liverpool derby is widely regarded as being a shite derby though, personally I've zero interest in it. I'd imagine that the main TV draws as far as derbies go are ourselves/Sunderland, the N. London derby and Manchester derby. Â And as for living in Northern Ireland, I've spent most of my working life in various towns and cities throughout England and the main talking point of the people I work with is normally football so I've got a reasonable grasp on how Newcastle are perceived outside of the North East.

Well since we came up in 93 we were perceived as far more important than Tottenham till recent years. I thought it was 21 v 20. 20 v 20 sums it up though a relegated side and the league champions.
