Super_Saint

A few Everton fans have said that he's hit the ceiling with us, but it's highly improbable that he'll surpass that with Everton - which is practically a top 4 position.

They're also under the impression that we think we're the dog's ******** now. Sure, they're a bigger club than us and the past two seasons mean little in our historical/future standings, but the reality is that they're just another stepping stone when compared to potential opportunities, and it's hardly a massive step.

Arsenal, Barcelona and the Netherlands are strong possibilities when the inevitable happens. Not Everton.

How does Liverpool winning the EL league effect anything? They'll be qualifying for the CL if they win it. Where does that EL slot go?

Treble on United, West Ham and Liverpool on the final day at 9/1. Emotional insurance.

Supposing this is true, how much could we realistically get for him?

Win the FA Cup and qualify for the Europa League

or

Win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League

It's a no brainer.

That's not a contrary position.

 

I bet they don't get 36 goals between them.

Someone will underperform, on the contrary someone will overperform. I bet they do.

Isn't the point that someone will underperform compared to expectations. You don't know at this point who they will be, but almost 100% guaranteed someone will.

 

I bet you Mane, Pelle and J-Rod don't all score 12+ goals next season.

On the contrary, it is likely that someone will exceed those expectations, but it's easier to average the goals among the three.

I can deal with actual big clubs buying our players. Best of luck Morgan, be nice to see you win some silverware.

Sane has changed wings and changed his name too

He's also called Wanyama apparently.

I'd be crying too if I had to manage Sunderland for another season.

Just chucked £50 on a spurs win. Offset some of the pain if the *ankers do win

Now I'd put the winnings on Villa to win the FA Cup.

**** Spurs. Look up and not down.

With all things considered, this is probably the best result for us.

Oh,Corellian got there just before me aha. 79:01-80:00!

Don't think it's been taken yet, 78:01-79:00 please. Otherwise a random selection will do.

Just on time! Cheers!

how difficult is it to find the bloody draw live?

Not that it's difficult, but my stream is rubbish.

anyone got a link for the draw?

So you think we won't support the team and Ron ? It's not as if we'll be booing him for 90 mins now is it!

I don't think anyone implied that we won't.

Boo him or not, I don't think he'll actually give a ****e. Why not just back the team and chant about Koeman?

Didn't think Pelle could pull something like that off. What a ****ing goal!

Funny seeing Milan there. They may have sold Ballotelli, but they'be brought in Bonaventura (who was quality at Atlanta), Diego López, Pablo Armero, Rami, Alex, Torres and Jérémy Ménez. They might want to keep "losing" these transfers windows

I think that sums up Fox Sport's credibility.

Pessimism aside, let's look at this from a different angle. If we had've kept Lambert and signed Long for some added depth, this signing would have been viewed as a good one. Pelle may turn out to be an adequate replacement for Lambert. If so, our attacking force is potentially stronger than it was last season.

Anyway, welcome to the club Shane. A good worker who'll no doubt put in a shift for us. Now we need to focus on a center half.

Just texted my Hull supporting mate about this. His reply was simply "lol".
