Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
Speaking of rear views Arsenal must be checking that mirror all the time now :-) . Do you think they'll hang on for 4th?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
That's better. bindiippers makes much more sense.
But, let's talk Toon if we may. Ashley has managed to flog off one decent striker to Chelshite for 7 or 8 million, and Chelsea have sat him on the long end of the bench ever since then, next another decent striker, Cissé, was forced to play with the logo of a usurer on his chest and has turned from being a prolific striker into a forgotten man. I'll not bring up the cashing in of Carroll for 35 very big ones, but more recently Cabaye has also been cashed in with no replacement in sight.
Add to that the suspension of Remy and the absence of Debauchy, Collocino and Tiote through injury, there's really no hope.
In Ashley's view of course, everything's going swimmingly. The Toon are hanging around mid table and most likely will avoid the drop (they've got to win at least one or two more games, you'd think). So all's well.
Then we have the bizarre episode with Ashley's appointment of JFK as Director of *****all and his recent "retirement". Need I say more?
Now, I know that football is just a business these days, but I'm getting rather sick of the whole nonsense to be frank.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
None the less with twice the wage bill and revenue should your ambition not be a little higher than to try and scrape a finish one or two points above Tottenham?
I was thinking Arsenal for 3rd but on recent performances I'm wondering if there will be an implosion during the final third of the season. The gap with Spurs was 11 points a week ago and now just 5 with a looming visit to White Hart Lane. Chadli is starting to look a better player than Ozil.
