20 goals scored (one more than stoke) but 15 behind your neighbours and the lowest of the top 4 of which you are trying to break into -
the difference with barca is they can score 5
your tippy tappy stuff doesnt get you beyond the half way line
Stop being silly and calm down.
You got a decent result against us and gave us a few scares along the way.
But seriously mate-your football,with the odd exception-is battery acid on the eyes.
You're going to win a few games against some of the "bigger" clubs by catching them on an off-day with your cloggers...but ultimately,the "run'till you drop" stuff eventually dies on it's arse.
Wimbledon,Everton and Bolton have doen the "kick the fuck out of everything and launch it to the frontman" stuff way before you,and done a far better job of it.
You don't have a hope in hell of achieving anything-other than taking satisfaction from clawing and scratching your way to mid-table.
Nothing wrong in that-we did it for years.
BUT-we also admitted our limitations.And whereas you muppets cheered Delap,we cheered Berkovic.
You cheer the clumsy,blundering Shawcross....we cheered the cultured Distin.
See what I mean?
Same sort of place in the table,"survival with a few shocks" our aim...-yet a million miles apart in ideology.
On and off the pitch.
And at least our better set-pieces were delivered from on the pitch-rather than outside it.
So keep biting,keep scratching,keep chasing....deep down,you know it's only going one way.Quality eventually tells.
Once you get a few injuries and are on the end of a couple of 5-0 slaps,the confidence starts to go...it's happening to Everton now,as it happened to us after the initial "bounce" left Pearce.
You'll be gone soon.
