British Expats - The Toon Army / EPL thread

Bugger. 95th minute dodgy goal. Bugger.

Realistically that's the end of any miracle finish in the top four. We have 10 games left in which it'd be nice not to let Liverpool (or anyone else) overtake and then be in the Europa thingy next year.

But in expectation management mode, even that isn't something that was on the radar in August. It's already a season to be satisfied with.

The same is true for e.g. Swansea and (although I hate to say it S********d).

I'd have laughed in their face. We won at the Arsenal last year, which was nice. Carroll scored the goal (gone in Jan), from a pass from Nolan (gone in the summer) to Barton (gone in summer). Jose Enriques played a blinder (gone in summer). The manager was Chris Hughton, who was pulling it all together.

In the summer we signed Demba Ba, who I knew a little bit about from his time with Hoffenheim, on a free. This didn't at the time seem to compensate.

I'm happy that I was wrong.

It's the difficulty in supporting a London team. There are so many local rivals you have to vilify.

It'd wear me out, I've only got S*******d to hate and that's tiring enough.
