Title: Ahhhhh; the fresh smell of optimism.
Post by: Gaztonniller on January 21, 2011, 07:40:49 PM: You just cant beat a new transfer arriving at the club can ya?
All those ~~blues~~ oops!! downcast faces and talk of relegation, and all the other depressing stuff blown out the window for a time with the arrival of a big record signing. So already the club is reaping some rewards already on the terraces from D.Bs arrival.
Should make the athmosphere at V.P tomorrow one to savour, and this will transfer from the stands onto the pitch.
The season now starts afresh tomorrow night imo, and the only way to go is UP!!
Am i the only one feeling a new buzz?

Yes, know what you mean. Then you see the league table and realise we are only 2 points off West Ham.

Post by: cdbearsfan on January 22, 2011, 10:14:10 AM: I'm guessing Walker, Bent and Albrighton?
Title: Re: Ahhhhh; the fresh smell of optimism.
Post by: pablopicasso_10 on January 22, 2011, 10:35:21 AM: yep... excited again...

i think this is randy lerners second crack at progression after he has admitted his first plan of giving the manager so much control didnt work...

the plan of reworking the scouting network, trying to bring in players like fofana and rameu (sp?), before their injuries / demands scuppered the deals, shows we are looking at the superstars of tomorrow, and along with bent and makoun to suppliment young talent like those potentiall coming in, and our own like delfouneso (who i am told, houllier loves the look of since he started knuckling down in training), i am very excited..

Post by: DrGonzo on January 22, 2011, 10:44:43 AM: I love the smell of optimism in the morning. A good week indeed, and a good performance today, regardless of the result, will cap my feeling of equanimity.

To misquote Jeeves, quoting Browning:

"The lark is on the wing,
The snail on the thorn,
McGrath's in his heaven
and all's right with the world,
sir?"

This is the fear of course! Defeat is never as painful as when it is presaged with Hope
