Â More so in Cabaye's case, but it depends whether you think it's better to be a handsomely paid squad (yet still used) player for a trophy winning team or a less well paid big player for a (brutally honest) well-supported nothing team. Â Do you think John O'shea and Wes brown are kicking themselves that they wasted all that time collecting medals and being backups at Manchester United when they could have been getting regular football as the main men at a Sunderland/Wigan/whoever all along?

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 They have a realistic chance of catching Norwich because of Norwich's minging run in, but I think Fulham will be the ones to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12452 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Martinez has them playing brilliant stuff, the ball in from Baines for the first goal was top class. That Barkley is going to be one hell of a player if he keeps this rate of development up, he's already running most games for them. Shows what you can do on a tight budget if you have a good manager and back the team when it needs to be backed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also meaning more they're happy to work to improve their side most windows even if they aren't spending much. Whereas our lot have tended to be happy with the side and tried to go without signing anyone. Edited April 6, 2014 by Howay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26316 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'd agree with you. They were lucky to have Moyes for so long who was able to work with such a restricted budget. The main difference, as you have alluded to, is that Kenwright genuinely wants to see the club do as well as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12452 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Agreed, that's a more accurate picture. Kenwright has a genuine love for the team and wants to watch good football and have the team push for Europe, whereas Ashley is mostly concerned with simply staying in the league. We really need a manager with a good system and picks players to go into that system and as a result gets more out of them. It seemed like Pardew had that early on when he seemed to be able to rely on his defence, condense the field and get more out of players like Perch and Obertan (mainly during that 11 game unbeaten run), but unfortunately that's clearly fell apart.

Â Would partly make up for this diabolical season. Â It certainly would not make up for it. If essembee came out with similar only swapped Sunderland for Liverpool he'd have been slaughtered. They're all arseholes at the top of the table, doesn't matter a jot who wins it, what matters is our club which is being eroded by a number of cunts. A win over Liverpool, Man U or whoever won't make me forget the shambles we're witnessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
