*THEREISHOPE*

*THEREISHOPE*

Look at the for/against/difference column for 2001/2002 when we topped league 1:

For 66
Against 42
Difference +24 (lowest GD in the top 5)

 

[Acker79]

Murray - 20
Sparrow - 11
Bennett - 8
Barnes - 7
Holroyd + Hart + Baz - 6
Lua Lua/Jamie Smith/New Left Winger - 6
Own goals + goals scored by players not mentioned above - 12

=

70.

Last season:

Millwall = 76
Charlton = 71
Swindon = 73
Huddersfield = 82

Should still be there or thereabouts.....

Last Season (all competitions):

If we don't sign a striker we won't finish in the top 6.

We won't finish in the top half I'd say, if you can't score goals you can't win matches.

Murray will not get 20. He is simply not good enough

What was that hitman??!!!!!!!!!!!

What was that hitman??!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent spade work to get this thread up!

 

[Acker79]

I have a whole bunch of similar threads bookmarked to bump at the end of the season (was planning on just posting one post with links in it rather than flood the board with old threads). This was on my list.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

We needed a 20 goal striker this season. And we got one.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Hitman doesn't like Murray because he didn't (delete as appropriate) wave/sign an autograph/welcome his advances.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

and that was against Swindon, one of the teams expected to be in the play offs

I can understand bouncing threads if it was a case of excessive moaning, but in this case it seems a little harsh considering people were just saying what they thought based on the evidence up to that point. Plus, if people are just going to bounce every strong opinion when it turns out to be wrong it's just going to mean a decline in interesting opinion (no matter how wildyl incorrect it is!) on the board. I assume those planning to bounce threads have never made an incorrect prediction in football, and if so could you send me your betting tips each week?

 

[Simster]

Indeed. Bit much to expect SIX goals from the untried Christian Baz.

A bit too patronising for your own good, methinks.

Ha. How many have Holroyd and Hart got then??

Fair play to Richie - was right about this though. He saw that 6 goals from those three was never going to happen.

Of course I have, and I take the banter that comes when I get it wrong. I've also posted opinions on things that are neither right or wrong, simply opinion and taken quite a bit of flack for it, and it doesn't stop me posting.

Though, for the record, most of what I have bookmarked are either the excessive "we need a 25 goal striker" threads of which there were many, and prediction threads that I'm planning on bouncing so that people can see how well they did rather than to mock anyone.

Wrong, this is a cracking bounce!

Always interesting to look back at some people's 'gospel' predictions.

Sorry Barnesy.........

 

[Chesney Christ]

Sparrow - 11
Holroyd + Hart + Baz - 6

*ahem*

 

[Da Man Clay]

Good bounce. I will happily take any flack directed my way. I didn't see Murray or Barnes getting enough to get us into the top 6 (and I've always been a big Murray fan). Very pleased to be proved wrong.
