Biggest surprise of the season so far?

Postby Fesan » Mon Nov 12, 2012 1:26 pm

What is the biggest surprise of the season so far for you?

For me it is Tottenham not having one offside in a game where Adebayor played for most of it.

I expected Newcastle and Sunderland to be doing a bit better. West Brom's good start is probably the biggest surprise, though. It's nice to see Steve Clarke have a go at management having been talked up as a coach for years. And good on West Brom for giving him the job.

Big Fat Sam and West Ham are having a surprisingly good go too.

That Mancini hasn't been replaced because of the shit football, out of the chumps league, another fucked up year in the league cup, bound to go out to Dagenham and Redbridge in the FA Cup, internal strife ripping apart the dressing room, mardy arse cretins masquerading as footballers, 3-5-2, 4-4-2, 3-2-5, 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1, no discipline in defence, lack of goals compared to last year........just a snippet from yesterdays Sunday Supplement, probably

Red scouse doing awful and 3 points worse off than they were under hodgson after the same amount of games, but the idiots are still backing rogers when they were hounding out hodgson? Maybe they have accepted they are garbage?

I'd like to say QPR, if it wasnt for the risk of losing the very little intellectual respect that Antii has for me.

1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City

You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...


In Roger Ailes/Donnie Drumpf's words: "don't know it for a fact, but many people say so..."
there must be some truth, then!

Us being in second place despite the club descending into utter crisis, with every player wanting out, and having the worst defensive record in the league.

First of all this.

Second of all, the fact that Chelsea are still keeping it together. I don't believe for one second that Roberto di Matteo has it in him to be a manager for a big club. Alright he won the Champions League but there's always going to be a bit of luck about that. Well... I at least did doubht him but now I'm not so sure. We'll see about that.

Thirdly, the fact that we have the best defence in the league. I did not see that coming. It seems to me that no defender in the PL will be nominated for Ballon D'or next year.

Fourth. West Brom.
"I used to be 6 foot 2 with curly hair, look what it's done to me"

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

Actually thought they were reasonably fair.
"Europe's a problem, but it was on hell of a tough group, the 10 points they got last year would normally have seen them through. Still in a good position in the league. Mancini seems clear about what he wants, good manager. Pep Guardiola's the elephant in the room - but he is for most managers" Thay sort of thing

Our defence seemingly being utterly useless yet we have the best defensive record in the league.

Fair do's Lev, I didn't see it but just spouted a generic load of bollox (no surprise there then) they seem to come out with :-)
