Hold the phone, his team must have LOST eh :)

 

Getting Boring Rafa, get a new sentance.

Maybe so in relation to decisions but lets not go there hey.

 

A) We don't want to bleat.

B) We love the club and want to be succesful so much. But lets not lose touch of the fact we also love the footy and dodgy decsions should not be lost from the game..otherwise it will just become paint by numbers.

 

Mind you, Clive Thomas never did quite own up to just making a bad decision...!!

We could be sitting in 3rd. :mellow:

 

If you go back early season we lost 1-0 to Reading, in their first 6 games they only scored 3 goals and the only game they managed to win was against us. That was a poor 1-0 loss and 3 points down the swanee.

 

But Football is all about ifs and buts, the uncertainty of the results makes the game so exciting, i mean who would have thought that the same Reading side would stuff the RedS 3-1. :D

That's exactly what I was thinking. You've heard so many of the guys say that getting robbed against Liverpool really ticked them off, woke them up, pulled them together, etc. and so forth - if that doesn't happen then maybe they don't pick up 32 of 36 over these last 12 games. It's hard to say for certain one way or the other though, just because emotion and momentum are such tricky, unpredictable things. Who can say whether a deserved win over Liverpool might have galvanized us the same way, or lulled us into a false sense of security?

32 points from twelve games would be championship form....if only :) . We've actually got 17 from a possible 21 in the league, none too shabby for sure but if we win the next five we'll be top two :D .

Lol, win the next Five :D

 

Beat Man Utd, Arsenal will be a tough task, but i rekon we could come away with a result against both, like a 1-1 will do nicely against both and Phil Neville Snapping Ronaldo's legs aswell.

Well,

 

The worst case scenario now is that Liverpool win the Champions League and we finish 4th :((

 

Under the new ruling I think this means Liverpool qualify for 2009 CL and we don't!

 

Come on Inter Milan in Milan!!!!

That's right. Anyone who wins the CL now gets an automatic return bid, and if they didn't otherwise qualify then the lowest-placed qualifier from that country gets bumped to make room.

 

Unfortunately between AC's collapse in '05 and Inter's pathetic display this year, it doesn't look like we can count on these Italian teams to do anything right, and the Spanish giants don't look like fielding vintage sides this year. Guess we'll have to hope that Liverpool draw ManU or Chelsea somewhere along the way.
