Good Result..........I would even go as far as to say by reaching the 5th round Pardew has completed the first of our successes for the season. Lets have a few more please
50/50 chance of playing them next season.
99/1 against that we play them the season after.......we will DEFINATELY be in a higher league to them by then ;-)
Maybe hard for ML & NC to comment on things over which they were not in control of or ever got the full info. on.
Knowing how overworked NC was in the first few months in the job this probably came quite low down his list of priorities.
There is an old chinese curse........."may you live in interesting times".
I think football in his country is about to have an interesting time.
However, for our club things could not look brighter!
I wonder if AP fancies signing any of their players?........closing down sale (actually i hope not)...........but we must be one of the solvent clubs that can put immeadiate cash on the table.
I think we might just scrape into the play offs.
If we don't go up this season there will be a lot of pressure on Pardew next season. The fans and the owners will expect nothing less than automatic promotion.
If we can rejoin the Prem debt free I'll be happy.
I think over the next few seasons quite a few clubs are going to be in trouble.
I'll settle for 30K attendance plus TV money.........with ALL of it going to run the club and none going to repay debt.
Would like to read such a book.
Would also imagine the "Dark Lord Duckhunter's" lawyers would read it very carefully and sue for even the tiniest criticism of him.
