Anyone optimistic about next season?

I feel another lower mid table coming on. We will become to the third division what Rochdale and Darlington are to the fourth; perennial existers.

I think the question is a bit premature. I will reserve judgement until I see what the squad is.

A fine phrase, though but. 'Perennial existers'.

Aye ta, not a bad bit of penmanship that, even though I say it meself.

So you're saying we're going to become perenially a division better than we always were.
I suppose that'll do for starters.

But you musn't over-analyse metaphors. They lose their charm

No difference really, I'm suggesting that we will be too good to go down and not good enough to go up. A bit like a lower league Middlesbrough if you will.

You've spoiled everything now

grabec · **Posted:** Thu May 29, 2008 1:31 pm

I wasn't talking to you, Mr Dibble, but to Mr I who has joined in the belittling of his own metaphor

Spender · **Posted:** Thu May 29, 2008 1:38 pm

Talks to who??

Sorry mate, what's your name again?? confised

grabec · **Posted:** Thu May 29, 2008 1:42 pm

Surely I talk to you quite a lot, erm, Kevin? confised

Any road, I do my best. I can't help it if you won't listen

personally - I think we''ll be in a relegation scrap from the first whistle, and it will go to game 46.
Sorry folks, but this squad ain't good enough. Now if we were to get a decent keeper for starters, he might get us an extra 5/6 points which could be the difference between staying up and going down.
Budtz and Barrett in nets for 46 games = relegation this time I'm afraid.

I'd take perennial existence happily. I'd rather be a League One regular than hitting the highs and then pissing it all away.

Besides, Bristol City and Stoke City were perennial existers of sorts - look what happened to them

I think we will do well (top half) but only if we can sign a goalkeeper that isn't a complete fukking clown. A central midfielder that is like a young Willie Boland and a centre forward that is mobile but that can actually control a ball. Some full backs would be nice but we've made do since Jack Ross fukked off and Hugh became crocked so whats another year....?

For someone who's lost everything that he owned....
