The Toon Army / EPL thread

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
I'm in a difficult philosophical position. If Toon beat Man C on Sunday (or even draw), the the title is assuredly Manure's.
Should I care about that? Likely not, they're equally unacceptable to the human race.
It's more about whether the Toon is really ready for a Champions thingy at the moment. All signs are good except for the FCB, who might well flog off the cheap talent (Ba, Ben Arfa, Tiote even Cisse) and as ever fail to reinvest.
Existential angst around here,

As I've said, that wouldn't bother me at all. If that's what happens I'll send you some bitter aloes to stop you biting your fingernails to the quick until May 19th.

I would never wish ill on another Football Club.
I don't hope the Toon lose. I would like to however see a City win as much as I would love to see a Norwich win and also a victory for Bayern Munich on the 19th.
Did anyone see the salary statistics article in the Gruniad yesterday? Interesting viewing.

B: If he does sell them, wasnt the FCB the one who hired the people who found Ba, Ben Arfa, Tiote, Cisse etc, and signed the cheques to bring them in in the first place, so its a bit harsh to chastise him too much. He essentially cashed in on Andy Carrol for half a decent team, so maybe, just maybe, he or more likely someone around him does have a clue?
Mind you, he's never going to be mister popular on Tyneside, but he could be a lot worse.
My money is on a draw, Man U to sneak the title, and Chelsea to win the C-L against all odds, if only to piss off whoever does finish 4th.

On an alternative note I predict 3-1 for Chelsea on Saturday. They will go two up, Liverpool will grab one back and then Chelsea will kill them off with a late Drogba/Torres final nail in the coffin of Liverpool's season.
I hope I'm wrong.

Im thinking 1:0 with a late Torres goal and Liverpool "robbed" by the woodwork at least twice. Its been that sort of season.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
I agree of course. Moreover the Toon, aside from never winning anything, have something in common with the Leafs. The stadium will be packed whatever is put on the field.

That would be the reason why it is an excellent business. Most clubs are envious of the support you get, it is to be applauded.

Several of them doing it again against Chelsea the other day. Those six packs came from drinking quite a few six packs.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
It wasn't the righteousness or not of doing it I was pointing out, but the actual fact that the cash may not be there anymore and therefore not available.
