As has been mentioned, Maureen doesn't like to rotate, he likes to pick the same eleven for pretty much every game: and this will tell in the long-run. Injuries and suspensions (should any ref have the balls to actually apply the laws of the game to that shower of bowel matter) inevitably happen over the course of a long and gruelling season, plus they'll have C.L. to consider. I just don't think they have the depth in squad to go the distance.
And all this aside, Peggy is always teetering on the brink of one emotional outburst or another, it'll only take a couple of bad performances/results, and the odd decision to go against him to see him lose the plot - after all, he does have a history of mental instabilities.
I don't just say this because I'm wearing blue-tinted spec's, I truthfully do not buy into the hype surrounding the rags, never have, never will. Even without additions Spuds look a bloody sight better than the vermin, and they (the rags) are nowhere near our level. Obviously there's a long way to go and there's 'many a slip 'tween cup and lip', I predict the rags will make 6th place their own berth...again.
