Well he wouldn't be guaranteed football here either with the form of Lallana, J-rod, JWP and Davis in those attacking midfield roles.

It did really annoy me that Hodgson pretty much said that Rodriguez is a back up to Welbeck, when he's a lot better than him.

I thought it was "aim for the stars, because if you fall short you'll reach the moon" or some such.

Team announced today? Seems strange.

Why ignore the edit where I admitted I was wrong?

Only 6 goals? Isn't he half way there already?

Rooney has been fantastic for England throughout these world cup qualifiers. If he carries it on I can see him being made captain when Gerrard retires.

Nope there were no articles like this, WBA for one thing had fallen away by this point. EDIT; Ok, not fallen away but they certainly weren't playing football as well as us with as many strong English players.

...how do you reckon they tested these?

Surprised you signed off on that, even I'd be a bit embarrassed singing anything to that tune.

So you are offering 500-1 that we will finish OUTSIDE the top 4?

Jesus, papers are just falling over themselves to write praising articles about us.

27, would have been lower but I got totally stuck on the flog anagram. It was just reversed ffs...

Yep all of a sudden they could have Bendtner up front and a youth player in defence. Looking at it, their CBs are even worse than ours for depth. They've got Koscielny, Vermaelan (injury prone) and Mertesacker (old and injury prone), and beyond that only youth players.

It's a shame that we're probably going to get 0 points from our next two games and slide out the top 6. Could have done with spreading the tougher games out a bit, but oh well.

Well actually, if you take those 6 games where he was good and take the points away we WOULD have been relegated.

I got 2000-1 a while back

They were top without Suarez and have dropped to second with him, so not sure I agree with that. Suarez gets injured, Sturridge goes back up top and gets back in the goals.

People would have taken him more seriously if he hadn't written off Liverpool in the previous sentence.

Sounds like an honest mistake which isn't all that worth getting worked up about to be honest, certainly not the biggest problem coming from the ticket office right now...

First time we've been in a comfortable winning position and he looked very complacent.

I really hope not. And as Minty says, I don't think he would consider it even for a second.

Who did we sign january that season? Sharp (strong goalscorer from the same league)...who would that be then...Michu? Benteke?

Park at Richmond, ample parking at the station there, and head in that way.

Where did you see us dropping those two points then? Away to Liverpool, getting a point instead? So you still thought we'd draw away to United, beat WBA, lose to Norwich? I smell bullsh*t.
