Ah well.
I'm not as optimistic as some. Look at the results they have had this season. Apart from one tanking in the copa del rey (Barca) they have picked up some decent results or haven't been too far away against some top sides. They don't ship goals and that's against some of the best attacking players in the world. Take a look at thier goals conceded stats over the last season and this one, it's impressive.
If our defence isn't on it they are still more than capable of doing damage. A euro spot from thier leauge is out of reach for them so this comp is all they have. 8 points in the CL can't be sniffed at as well.
We missed some of the bigger teams but I don't think this is going to be the easy game some are making it out to be
Valencia - we all want a good showing but it mustn't jeopardise our domestic ambitions .
As BillCowie says - a Treble Treble means far more to most of us than a limited run in the Europa League - we're NOT going to win it with the quality of team we would face ( and the quality we have ) but neither do we want to be horsed !
Priorities - win the League , then the Scottish Cup , then we can seriously start thinking about the summer and the C.L. preparations .
Totally agree with that pal,good postYup let's be
realistic without being negative or hype positive
Can you imagine the Kudos a TREBLE TREBLE would give us? Can't imagine that ever being surpassed except perhaps by ourselves
The Dafties would be slashing their wrists and spouting their shite and bile
For almost 3 seasons now they've been 'Coming and Going For 55' where as we have been cruising along collecting Trophies Titles and Trebles throwing them an occasional bone by dropping points here and there but still keeping them in their place and laughing at their arrogance
Did anyone see the TWEET of their players trooping off the team bus at Easter Rd last night with Simply The Best booming out? Absolutely cringeworthy but totally in keeping with there sense of self delusion
If we beat Valencia great but we're not blowing our own trumpets saying that we will hence if we don't then no embarrassment
Keep things real and do just fine
HH?
Hop it not the same old so,so,One the future today See Manny Perez,Calmac,extension need to spend Big this window hope it’s not the same old retoric fans will be really pissed off2 of their best players have just picked up injuries - supposedly both missing for 2/3 months.
So that’s better than nothing.
Hopefully they don’t spend fortunes in January though.
As for ourselves - this is a huge transfer window for us, as well as this season, we have the Champions League qualifiers in 6 months.
As we know - it shouldn’t have come to this. We’ve got guys like Tierney and Rogic playing through injuries, and McGregor and Eddy probably playing too much. It was always going to catch up with us.
And as we all know - there are too many squad players doing f.uck all.
There can be no excuses - Congerton has been here a while now. We also appointed Mick Doherty who was a highly rated scout for Everton and Chelsea. Brendan is responsible for all this.
We’ve brought in £27 million from Armstrong and Dembele, and we should have had money to spend from Europe regardless - it’s up to Lawwell and Rodgers to get deals done.
If not, one or both are culpable, and the fans deserve to know who and why.
sorted Bobo, feelin better already, mellow restored, HHListen there were 5 points there. Pick your favourites. I'm going for a 1 3 5 2
