Assuming that Birmingham Wolves and lets say Reading get promoted, are we safe to assume that the bookies will not regard us as automatic relegation favourites.? Perhaps it is too much to expect this sea change in the minds of the 'Hardcore' anti Stoke turf accountants minds after only one season. Mind you....If we are tipped to go down, we should not miss this opportunity to make a killing...  In all honesty, I think we may have convinced the majority of independents, give or take the odd one or two.? |

Has the fixture list been kind to us this season .................or is it just that we have been relatively consistent ?? To be honest and with the benefit of hindsight I think TP will consider that we gave teams too much respect on the park in th first half of the season especially away from home. |

I think we'll still be amongst the favourite to go down and that is probably fair. Many will say that we will have been sussed through the first season and that we will find it much harder second time around. They may be right and there are plenty of precidents to support that theory. However, with the introduction of a little more quality, I'm confident that we will, once again, compete but it will be a close run thing again. Progress in the Premier League can be painfully slow.

I don't think we should be placed in the bottom 5.
I think there is big improvements needed in one specific area....the midfield.I don't think the defence is that bad, it's just that the midfield is so weak, that at times it does not take the pressure of our defence enough, and therefore inevitably goals will be conceded.
Ball retention...ball possession is area we need to improve on drastically.That can only occur when you start spending big money on play maker type players, and they are few and far between in Britain.We may need to look further afield....

All of those clubs around us would have TP as their manager right now. There are some jealous chairmen about as well who will be keeping a very close eye on TP.

Pugsley is an obnoxious little shit.. par excellence...
Worse still he hangs around with other obnoxious little shits.
Every year they have a jizzfest in Belgium....say no more.

Don't worry Garfield, we won't be playing Barnsley.
They'll probably be in the First Division!

I wonder if Shearer's 'muckers' Hansen and Lawrenson, will back him to win at Stoke, or will stark reality and form prevail.?

And let us not forget who Gary Lineker remembers sent his beloved Leicester City down either...  He'll be secretly on Newcastle's side also....!  Smug... money grabbing twat...! |
