The unpopular opinion thread 2014 - amnesty applies.

I love costa

 

He would of been the perfect replacement for Suarez.

[King Emlyn]

Hate to say it but I think the usual top four of City ,Chelsea, Utd and Arsenal is on its way back.

If it does we only have ourselves to blame - again - it's not like we didn't splash the cash.

A real air of annoyance about your football posts, these days.

[Bjornebye]

United are shit, they could have easily drawn today. They will get better but once we kick into gear we are the better team. Their defence is utter dog-shit. We just need to kick into gear quick

[Paco]

arsenal are shit too.

 

less shit at home but their away form is abysmal.

As opposed to our purring Rolls Royce of a defence? Much of a muchness in that regard albeit they have a much superior keeper, the problem is they have far greater firepower than us and that will see them clinch 4th imo. Arsenal always qualify and City and Chelsea are light years ahead, but like Section says, nobody but ourselves to blame

[Mook]

I think West Ham's new strip is smart as fuck.

Don't really see a lot to be enthused about to be honest mate, ever since it went tits up for Kenny I've thought we've been heading in the wrong direction, with no apparent plan and constantly throwing good money after bad.

Funny, my Mrs genuinely just said the same thing when they were on a while ago. She picked me to go out with.

 

Make of that what you will.

With Chuis gone, that leaves only two Kenny signings left? Hendo and Jose?

[Ronnie Whelan]

It fucks me off big time that when United fluke wins against West Ham and the blueshite it's almost like they've just stormed the beaches of Dunkirk, while when we beat west brom we're a team in disarray.

 

The truth is Arsenal, United and us have big big deficiencies but the two that finds their form quickest will get third and fourth. Spurs will be sixth and it's between everton and southampton for seventh.

The fluked feck all today, having a good keeper is not a fluke

[El Dangerous]

If we don't find a tricky forward to occupy defenders and do attackingy things in the January window then we're doomed and people will laugh at us and I'll quit Facebook.

[Tony Moanero]

I like Code and his aliases. The forum can be a bit dull without them.

Partly right. De Gea is an excellent keeper. West Ham were wrongly denied a goal and everton were much the better side for most of the game. Good luck to the bastards because it's 6 points, but what gets me is the media fawning over them as gutsy bla bla bla whereas when we scrape a game we're in disarray.

You must have missed the part where Di Maria spooned another shot that landed miraculously at the feet of one of their players, resulting in a goal. Again.

 

This I'm afraid to say, happens to be extremely fortunate in the scheme of things. De Gea might have saved them 3 points but outrageous luck got them into that position.

I agree with all of this except the bit about Southampton.  I think they will finish ahead of the Blues and Spurs this season, and might (might!) just give United and ourselves a decent run for fourth.  Michael Caley (one of the best stats analysts out there) says they have twice as good a chance at top 4 as United based on their start and performances (and the fact that United, Spurs, and LFC have all been shit).

You will find that good players get plenty of luck as they are constantly trying and creating stuff. Same as Suarez last year, he won so many penalties, because in a lot of cases you take him down or he scores. That is not fluke it's ability.

[ngogswilly]

Not sure if this still an Amnesty thread but I honestly think the Mancs will fucking finish ahead of us now this year. I feel sick to my stomach saying it but we just haven't bought well enough yet again. 

[mouse1989]

We are only one point behind them?

 

And who have they played of any note? Probably everton being the only side that will finish in the top 7

 

We might be struggling, but we will come good, and I'm confident that we will finish no lower than 3rd place

[billypilgrimnz]

I'm confident we won't get anywhere near 3rd place.

Just think they've bought  better. There's a long way to go and fuck knows what will happen but never mind how things even look right now I just think overall they've bought better than us. Obviously they're far from top class but I don't think we are either. 

[Bjornebye]

I miss my top of the table swagger and cant believe that in the space of one summer we have gone from being the second best team in the league ahead of chelsea to being light years behind them now.

 

I also agree with Tony Manero. Codegate is great.
