Happy Face 29 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Interesting to see where all of our players have gone who we were once upset about: Given: at Villa, fighting relegation Bassong: cant get into the spurs side, on loan at Wolves, got sent off after 8 minutes last weekend Milner: barely gets a game for city anymore, usually off the bench NZogbia: spotty time at villa, including a brief falling out with Mcleish Barton: fighting relegation with QPR Nolan: playing in the championship and could very well be there next season And I'll leave out Carroll and Enrique cause we all know where they stand. Just interesting to see that most of our players who wanted to leave nufc for brighter futures have done exactly the opposite How about looking at silverware won by the departees.. Given - FA cup winner Milner - FA cup winner & League cup runner up Carroll - Leaue cup winner Enrique - League cup winner Duff - Europa league runner up Martins - League cup winner Carr - League cup winner Emre - Super Kupa winner & Super Lig winner Faye - FA cup runner up Sadly, if we were to base our retention efforts on trying to appeal to a players genuine desire for silverware, we'd be losing out to bids from the likes of Leicester, Middlesbrough and Wimbledon MK Dons, never mind the Liverpool's etc that Leazes is worried about. We'd do well to keep our mouths shut about that altogether tbh, our record is a complete disgrace and the biggest opportunities were all blown. A player is statistically better off being at virtually any other club than here using that criterion. Lets try and be positive about putting a good team together in the here and now and congratulate ourselves on each of the cunts we've shipped that couldnt give a shit. That doesnt apply to all in that list by any means, but overall, the effect has been a hugely positive one and thats all that matters. Agreed. I made the same point as JTM a year and a half back, cos it's gratifying to see want-aways fail.... http://www.toontastic.net/board/topic/28694-viduka-martins-and-owen/page__view__findpost__p__805736 Just providing balance that we needn't be conceited and start sucking each others cocks just yet.

TicTacWoe 0 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Fulham. But Blackburn are looking woeful and QPR still have some nightmare fixtures. Reckon Wigan will be safe if they win this and get something from Fulham. Edited April 16, 2012 by TicTacWoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
