Kitman 2207 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I think I predicted 13th or some such, certainly bottom half. I'll have mine with custard please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 We sold our two top goalscorers. No idea if we'd adequately replace them with other goalscorers. I'm very surprised, (and very happy to admit it), that I got my knickers in a twist about fuck all. The team has kicked on and that is the main thing. Very well done to all involved including the players. I wasn't arsed about Nolan going as it was clear how limited he was, however no way did I expect us to be in this position. Fucking ecstatic.

Monkeys Fist 43090 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I don't actually want this season to end. We are just getting into our stride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4222 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Best thing is we're doing it in style as well! Its a nice change to see everyone talking about just how good this team is on whatever website you go. A fair few of us are eating humble pie, but it sure tastes good!

Happy Face 29 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Performances like the first half yesterday, the games like Liverpool and man u, make the turgid shite of the past 7 year under Souness, Allardyce and Kinnear a bad dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I don't think I've seen a NUFC side this universally liked/admired since Keegan's first era. Obviously we were a top club under Sir Bobby too but we've come a darker place this time round to be where we are at the moment. The media love us, fans of other clubs admire us and want us to do well. It's all a bit overwhelming. And it's not like we've come from nowhere, we've been decent all season long aside from a couple of dodgy spells during the winter period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not like we've come from nowhere, we've been decent all season long aside from a couple of dodgy spells during the winter period. The media still ignore us on the whole. Good. The only time they pay much attention it's usually because of something negative. As for other clubs admiring us, fuck 'em. They all took the piss when we went down, clubs not fit to wipe our arses have patronised us but if we keep our shit together will patronise us no more. Nothings won yet but I'm getting the feeling our players are thinking a hell of a lot more positively than Spurs players for example. I just get the feeling they know there's still a job to do and they'll roll their sleeves up and do their best. That's all we can ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 It's been a long long time since I've seen us play so well, so positively. It's the best side we have had for a long time and there is a great opportunity to strengthen it further in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeazesMag 0 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'm not the only one to be totally surprised and very pleased with this season, in fact it seems like its a 100% "surprise rate" among not just the board but every supporter everywhere. Not even CT saw this coming Long may it continue and we all hope he builds on this and we go higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7493 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Echo the sentiment in here. On the media front we're often mentioned in the Chelsea/Tottenham/Liverpool doing poorly, potentially missing out on European positions etc. Throughout the season the prevailing feeling from the media was that we were an early season flash in the pan and that across the length of the season we'd settle into our rightful spot in the middle of the table. Even when we're flying high they treat us like a mid-table club at the moment. On par with the likes of Everton, second tier to six clubs that I need not mention. All in all it's a great place to be as it keeps the pressure off and keeps other teams expectations for us lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Other fans will like us because we don't have any abhorrent personalities in our team. We've had loads of players over the years who have had brushes with the law (Barton, Bowyer, Bramble etc). Now we've moved on from having a team of players beginning with B, and we have Cisse, Cabaye, Coloccini. Things are moving up. PS - Ben Arfa, Best and Ba were strategically ignored for the purpose of making a non-existent point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
