  1. No need to panic, no. 6th would still be a superb season, in my opinion, which is where I think we'll finish. I just can't see any higher. We have Spurs then 2 very, very tough games where we usually do shit, then a big one vs Everton. I think Everton will win at VP, pushing us into 6th.
  2. Can't see anything better than 6th at the moment!
  3. Pre-season prediction: 7th Mid-season prediction: 5th Current prediction: 6th Arsenal will finish above us I reckon. They may have tough games, but they already know what it's like in the run in and havebeaten the likes of United and Chelsea fairly regularly, while we haven't. Everton are on a very good run and I think they'll do us at VP, on their way to finishing 5th. This isn't me just being overly pessimistic, I've been saying Everton to finish above us for a few months now.
  4. :shock: Kurt in pop music shocker!! Never bring this up, ever!
  5. Lily Allen - The Fear Don't usually like all this poppy crap, but this one's grown on me..
  6. I really hate how people call it the 'Liverpool song' or 'Torres song'. **** hell, Rangers fans sung it about Cuellar the same time as Liverpool fans did about Torres anyways! Don't know about the O'Shea one though.
  7. Poor dog! I'd have bloody cut the things head off!

    Fair enough, I just reckon it's a bit sad, that's all!

    I'd probably agree with that, though I'd probably say basketball is ahead of cricket personally. Though that's probably my dislike for cricket showing through! I'm positive you've just made that up, but fair enough anyway!

    I'd make a wild stab in the dark and say it's because Americans don't like it when they aren't the best? Of the 5 major sports that really have an International game (football, baseball, basketball, hockey) the US are only the best in 1. I have alot of friends in the US who're very big on sports. All I ever hear about when we debate great sports teams are the US "Dream Teams" in basketball.. yet they never seem to mention the US national baseball, hockey or football teams, funny that. P.S. Just a pet hate, but why do Americans say COULD care less.. surely it's COULDN'T care less?
  11. You can't really use the excuse that we had Gabby. We played 4-4-2 with Gabby and Carew as our strikers, so Gabby can't play his position and Carews. I'd rather have Cahill and Fellaini up front than Harewood and the Fonz!

    Village cricket? I presumed all cricket was the same!
  13. 10 goals in 16 starts for Carew this season. Considering we've played 45 games, I'd say you're wide of the mark to say Carew doesn't have it in him to get 20 goals in a season. "Sufficient cover"? Not quite. He's the only big man in the squad, and we only had 1 other striker at the club who'd started a league game that season..
  14. Carews been out for bloody ages! I'll admit offensively you've been hurt alot, but at the back you've been fine all season long. We've just had our injuries more dotted around. Admittedly we've kept Ashley and Barry injury free which is important!

    I'm English.. and I can't stand it. Cricket should be banned for putting people through days and days of boredom.
  16. Sorry to go OT a bit, but Bouma, Laursen, Carew, Reo-Coker, Cuellar..they've all had lengthy layoffs. We've hardly had a full squad to chose from at any point this season. What we've done is just as fantastic really, given that we played 10 or so games in Europe as well. That said, I was saying months ago that Everton are still in the race, or at least could still finish above us. If they win at VP, they will finish above us I reckon. Pleased with the Everton result last night as I see them as a threat. Hopefully we spend big in the summer, I wouldn't mind Spurs or Citeh having a decent season next year (just below us) as it would push Everton further down and make them struggle, while poorly run clubs like Citeh and Spurs are going to fail every so often anyway.
  17. That would be pretty mean! Would probably prefer to just have AP instead of TT though! Though I suppose it depends on what formation the opposition have put out.. a variation of the 2 seems good, that Dline is incredible..
  18. I personally thought we'd sign pretty much no-one, and the guys we did sign being fairly low key - like Danny Clark last of-season - but I'm pretty happy with this. Not sold on Canty myself, but hopefully he proves me wrong. Trying to think of what we need now! Dline is sorted, could do with someone else in at LB through the draft, an early pick at WR also. Add some depth to the Oline and secondary and that should be about it I'd have thought.
  19. I'd be happy with that! I would love to have kept Toomer and Ward though.
  20. Boley + Bernard and it'll be a good start. I'd say LB and DT are about our weakest positions, what we have at DT is good, we just don't have enough. I'd still like us to draft LB in Round 1 though!
  21. Nothing, but Kaiser Chiefs - Never Miss a Beat has been stuck in my head for bloody hours now.
  22. This post is not intended to poke fun or anything, but there's 2 points I'd like to make on this quote. 1) If somebody walked upto me in the street and told me of talking snakes, people rising from the dead, etc. I would dismiss it immediately, I'd probably keep my distance from that person for good. We're not dismissing it because we just disagree with it, we dismiss it because it is quite unrealistic. I am sure if somebody came upto you proclaiming to be the son of an almighty being you'd dismiss it completely. Just because it's written in an old book doesn't give it anymore truth than if someone were to say it today. 2) I think people of faith, in general, are the dismissive ones, not those who question religion. If by saying God doesn't exist or that he never created the universe is dismissive, then that's exactly the same as people saying God does exist and that he created the universe.. you're just dismissing everything we believe in (or don't believe in). Anyways, one question I do have, as my understanding of Chrstianity isn't all that good. When exactly was the bible supposedly written, or wstarted to be written? Who wrote it? How did they have the knowledge to know as far back as to the day that God created the first humans? As I say, I don't know much about it so I can't answer this myself, but I just can't believe that somebody would have known what went in in the very beginning. I am in agreement with BOF. Science wans to prove it's right. Religion is happy with not being able to be proven wrong. I know which one I'm happier with.
