Where is MON ?

[supertom]

I see spurs have offered £28m for 2 players, we are not in that kind of Market and will find it hard to finish above 6th at best as the money available to the teams above us is far more than we can afford to spend,whoever is in charge.

If we sell Milner maybe we can. Though I'd rather keep him. In truth though, we do need to spend our money more wisely than Spurs look as if they will. They're paying 28m for two players who are decent, but not spectacular.

We need to be astute with what cash we have.

But of course...that might not happen. We're lucky to have genuine quality like Young on our books. Keep him, keep Gabby, and fingers crossed Milner. If sell our dead wood and raise enough for 3-4 top quality players, we can compete IMO.

The season is being written off in June on the basis of a seemingly untrue story, this place gets dafter by the day.

"Palermo's claims are inaccurate. We have not bid for these players," said a spokesman for Tottenham.

I don't think he's an idiot, just a dinosaur. and i do wonder how he's becomes our longest serving manager since Saunders when he's not even in the top3 for trophies won/highest league position

So 3 top 6 finishes in a row and a cup final and a semi final last season is now grounds for sacking somebody. That's armchair fans for you.

Just turning the 3 top 6 finishes point around:

If when MON arrived I said to you after 5 seasons in charge and plenty of money available we would have achieved:

3 x 6th place Finishes
1 x 7th place (Just made that up)
1 League Cup Final
1 FA Cup Semi
No European run

Would you have taken that??

I wouldn't

What a silly post, the time to judge where we are after 5 seaons is not when the 4th one has just finished.

LOL

So do you magically think that next season sees us finishing 4th or 5th, with a Cup and having a European run? Something we haven't done in the previous 4 but we will now beacuse we are into the 5th year of "the plan"

[Mazrim]

Well, aren't you a bit previous saying we wont do any better than 6th?

Yes, by about a year or so.

[eastie]

I wasn't writing the season off chris , just saying that it's very hard to compete with spurs and City if they spend huge amounts this summer, if anything I was saying 6th place under the circumstances would be reasonable , I for one have lowered my expectations and see this as being about as good as it will get under o neill!

I can see why to some thought might be considered a magical processin that they have not experienced it first hand but I'm just suggesting that you wait a few months before deciding what the season has ben like.

What were you predicting this time last year?

Oh and unless you're 12 or have been lobotomised no more of the "LOL" if you don't mind, it lowers the tone.

[UsualSuspect]

LOL

ooohhh looks for emocon of man clutching handbag


This time last year I predicted 7th

But seeing as this is year 5 of the the plan and because Man City and Spuds wont be spending as much as us I predict

4th Place
Fa Cup
Europa Final

[TheSandman]

Where is MoN?

Right now he's bound and gagged in the cupboard under my stairs. When we were linked with McGeady I took desperate measures.

[eastie]

Top 6 and the carling cup will do me nicely!

Are you attempting to be humerous? If so well done, it's a brave man who knows he's rubbish but gives it a go anyway.

Imagine if Lol Creme - the least talented member of talentless 70's crap-rock band, 10CC ( and half of the talentless duo, Godley and Creme) had to send bad news by text, how would he sign the end of his message without causing offence?

[Percy McCarthy]

I personally dont care what people say about MON or their qualifications for doing so, just please dont talk out of your arse and bore me to death. Which is where a lot of it falls down.

Which is precisely what other people might say about you. Or any other poster on here.

Which is another reason why we should just deal with the fact that other people disagree with us, and let them get on with it, rather than introducing some sliding scale of what's ok and what isn't.

Good. Perhaps we can have an end to the 'Thou shalt not put forth the opinion that the manager knows more about football than we do' posts?

Of course he does - that's what I meant by my reference to your stating the obvious. My point is, who cares that he knows more than we do? When did that ever impact on the willingness of football fans to gob off about the game?

Do I think Gary Megson, David O'Leary, Martin O'Neill, Harry Redknapp, Arsene Wenger etc etc know more about the game than me? Of course they do. Do I give a shit? No, of course I don't.

I dont get how you're so liberated with your views on things like hooliganism and it's part in the culture of the game (which I largely agree with you on), yet so deferential when it comes to criticising the manager.

Where's the sense of naughtiness gone? You're at the same time possibly the most non conformist poster on here on some issues, yet amongst the most conformist on others.

Er, thanks...I think. Compliments to you too paulie, you don't get on my tits because you usually make points on things that are at least debatable. It's the endless drivel like 'Why doesn't MON know that Young is a right back and Cuellar is a centre-half?' that prompt me to bring up his experience and knowledge.

Right, so you were wrong and being previous then, like you are now.

Lmao!lolololocuastomfg!!!!!!111!!!

Have i stepped into an argument from another planet

What the hell are you on about

Can we go back to the question

Is MON on holiday or not?
