LooneyToony 41 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Missed out on this kid didn't we https://streamable.com/7js9 Watched the 2nd half of that game and I was saying to myself just that. Why can't we find and stockpile young English players like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3609 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Bloody Everton. We could be four points adrift by today and with the fixtures coming up it could easily get to 7-8. No need to get a striker/defender in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I couldn't hate Everton more than I do. One favour, one time we need them to win, and they deserve to be losing 1-2 at home to Swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to get a striker/defender in though. Even if Swansea win we'll still be just 2 behind Norwich but I expected that to change rapidly if we don't get THAT striker we all know we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27515 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Swansea have beaten both Watford and Everton in the last two games. Will we win at Goodison? Seriously, seriously doubt it as we're usually shit down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I can't see us getting owt from Everton, Barkley seems to put in the type of performances that get him hype against us and we don't ever seem to have answers for Coleman and Lukaku.

Haydnator 45 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 West Brom at home is the only game which I can see us getting 3 points next month. Anything else is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Aye I doubt Everton will drop 6 points at home in quick succession to Swansea and us. They'll want to turn us over and they could have won today if they could shoot from 2 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm concerned all right concerned that if we go down we do a Middlesbrough they went down with us last time & are still there. Because you can bet not many of these players will stick around like Nolan, Barton & Carroll did. Then we had a team with a heart & spirit a respected manager now we have a team who'll play if they can be bothered a head coach who's starting to sound more & more like Pardew everyday I'm expecting him to "Fank Mike" before long . I'm concerned that we didn't have a striker lined up ready to sign for the club when the January window opened. I'm concerned that a lot of people aren't concerned about the position we're in its come around a lot earlier this time yesterday I was told not to worry about Swansea as they've thrown the towel in. It didn't look like that today as they took all 3 points from Everton at Goodison Park they looked like a team who are prepared to battle to stay up. Lastly there's a week left of the window I'll be concerned if we don't get that striker because we need someone to start knocking in the goals week in week out to get us out of this mess if they don't sign someone we should all be concerned.

Gemmill 35460 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The only reason to be so concerned about relegation is if you think that the club's current approach is something worthy of preservation. ie Existing in the Premier League with the goal of surviving the drop for continued use as the owner's free advertising billboard. What is the point in staying up this year to do this all again next? Why is anyone worrying about getting a shot at this terminally depressing shit again? It's not like "next season's gonna be the one". If we survive, next season is gonna be Groundhog Day all over again. At least relegation would provide something different. (a positive goal rather than a strictly negative one) and deprive the owner of his worldwide advertising stream. Embrace it and your worries will dissolve. Unless you really, really can't resist another season like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 20139 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I know what you're saying G, but I still get excited by the odd good performance despite all that. I still watch every week And despite the hatred for the regime, most people just want to be able to watch a half decent game on a weekend. We're still getting 50k attendances despite everything. We're never going to achieve much with Ashley in charge but all he really needs to do is somehow assemble a team that plays like they give a shit and most of us will be satisfied.

Yeah but that's the point. He's not going to assemble that team as long as the club is run this way, as it doesn't engender team spirit or loyalty. So the team is always going to be comprised of a combination of new signings that don't realise what they've got themselves into yet and jaded people that want to leave. A team like that is going nowhere. Part of the problem as well is just how much of a pressure release a single shitty win brings about. Anorthernsoul gets a bit of stick on here for being miserable, but he's right to not look at a single win and be punching the air. It let's them off the hook. The 50k thing is irrelevant btw. I put NUFC match attenders on a par with people that watch Celebrity Big Brother at this stage. They're part of the problem. I'm not suggesting I'm part of any solution btw, but I'm at least not part of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 20139 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 So are you saying you're so far removed now that you've stopped caring completely? In theory it sounds like the smart move but like a battered wife that keeps going back to her abusive husband, I can't let go. There have been moments recently when I had to laugh at just how shite we've become. The defeats don't hurt as much as they used to but I still naively start believing again as soon as they put in the odd good performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 6443 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Stopping caring isn't enough, you should be willing the cunts to go down and/or have heart attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
