Nothing to stop you now...

shirley?

(For some, presumably technical reason I can't reply to the post below).

Good luck to you. You're going to end up with a bigger prize than us this season but we're the best team to watch.

Why not have the Pools Panel decide all the games without kicking a ball?

[Blupunter]

How would a Pools Panel kick a ball?

Do explain.

[Ashberto]

But have you scored goals as beautiful as Jack's against Norwich and Rosicky's against Sunderland?

[Ashberto]

Why did you lose, btw? Did your manager underestimate them? Did the players take it for granted?

[Mc Gooner]

You've made the point that there's "Nothing to stop us now" presumably on the basis that it's only Wigan, Hull or Sheff Utd in our way. If it was that simple why didn't you beat Wigan today or in the Final last year?

The Pools Panel do what you naively did (and I'm being kind giving you the benefit of the doubt) and said "On paper, X should win"

TBH, only fools believe that 'foregone conclusion' crap so maybe I shouldn't give you the benefit of the doubt :shrug:

[Blupunter]

We've played some football as good as the Arsenal football of the Bergkamp and Henry era and it has been fantastic to watch. Strangely, we seem to have adopted the Arsenal late winter losing form habit too. Oh well.

I'm not yet so spoiled by success to think that winning only one trophy represents failure so I think our the season has been a success. I think yours will be too.

(I have a feeling we might now be battling with you lot for 3rd place).

You're very excitable.

I think you'll win the cup. Does that make me stupid?

<shakes head>

[Mc Gooner]

You've expressed an opinion - a daft one imo - and I've simply pointed that out

FWIW, I get the impression you arrogantly think you deserve the recent success you've had when the fact remains that you and the Russians have only bought it. Punching AT your weight if you like whereas .....

[Ashberto]

They'll still be busy with the CL. Title's on for you imo.

week before we host you.

[David Pleat AHADF (Royal Welsher and monkey lover)]

Hell made me think twice

[Blupunter]

You're the favourites for the Cup.

[Blupunter]

Your time has come. They won't beat you lot.

We played poorly today for the first 60 minutes. Maybe we expected to win and didn't start playing until two down and then were profligate in front of goal but we haven't really played that well for ages.

To win the league we'd have to win 3 of arse, manu, everton and liverpool away. Right now 5 points would be a good return from that lot. I think we'll finish 3rd or 4th.

[Mc Gooner]

I thought you would have been intelligent enough to get that but you're doing a good job of trying to demonstrate otherwise

[Blupunter]

[ "Nothing to stop you now.... shirley?" ]

The 'shirley' is meant to signify that it isn't completely a done deal.

Jeez...I'm arguing with a 15 year old on an Arsenal fans' message-board. What has happened to me?

[Mc Gooner]

[modd]
