Hopes for the new season, in PREMIER LEAGUE!

[desprateseagull]

That the team plays less predictably.. last few games, as soon as we get the ball, straight away it gets passed out to the wingers..

No daring runs? zigga zag ahhh?

Also, there's less space / options, of where to pass next...



Oh, and just stay above Palar%e. natch.

 

[moggy]

That we stop going all defensive when leading with 15 mins to go

 

[desprateseagull]

More / better stamina training too, so we last the full 90 + FergieTime..

 

[mickybha]

4th bottom or better

 

[Horses Arse]

Retain our identity, don't break the spirit, don't sign mercenary players and take our chances with that model without baying for blood. If that means yoyo'ing for a few years then fine

 

[sparkie]

1) A decent transfer window with key players in before season start.

2) Another decent transfer window in January if some players fail to make the step up.

3) For us not to be beaten mentally before we even kick a ball.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Avoid 5 defeats in a row!

 

[Stat Brother]

I'd like us not to win our first game.

I couldn't cope with our Chris having to stoop so low as to give credibility to the question:-

'So Chris, top of the league, I bet you never believed this would happen'?

 

[GT49er]

Perhaps not starting with Arsenal at home, this time round....................

 

[BLOCK F]

Yes.
I was there for that one!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Being more entertaining than Boro.

****ing dull and pointless effort

 

[Poyningsgull]

Give Stoke a good thumping. I have a passionate dislike for them, not sure why but suspect I am not alone. It's like playing against a bunch of marauding Vikings.

 

[desprateseagull]

Palace at home, first game..

 

[Weststander]

Quality purchases of full backs, strikers x 2, a winger, goalie and DM powerhouse.

For CH to stick to his principles of fast counter attacking and to never fall into the trap of possession for possessions sake (Poyet zzzzz).

A dozen home wins, a few draws home and away (anything extra would be a nice bonus), to give us any final position of 9th to 17th.

Pulls hasn't taken that philosphopy to WBA too. A team of giants, a few abides to kick skilled opponents out the game, terrority is the be all and all, massed defence and set piece goals.

Has arch rival derby ever been first game?

I doubt fixtures is purely random

 

[Knocky's Nose]

All I want is to turn one of the big boys over, at the Amex. Nothing like a little kid knocking the bigger boy on his arse

Bedwetters United...

Just enjoy the ride and stop being critical BEFORE the season has even started!

You're right, they're not random. I was surprised at how much work actually goes in to them.

They break them down into five sets, which are reversed in the second half of the season.

Fair comment. I think we might have do a 10% extra training on fitness. It might be worth more than signing an extra left back.
