I don't see why everyone is so happy.
We were worse than crap for 90 minutes against a well organised crap team from a very small country who would probably equate to barnsley or some such in England. Jo is not the Messiah, most of the others looked totally disinterested and everyone here is going round like we won the FA Cup. Now, he says, smugly, I know that most of you don't have much experience of supporting a winning team, but we really have to be realistic. It was the the qualifying round of the least important European competition -- not the final.
I will say no more about the return of SWP, I made my position clear on another thread.
Stop drinking, and get real.
We will probably lose at Sunderland cos today will have taken too much out of the poor dears.
If they are paying SWP as much as we think they may possibly be, then he had better get his finger out on Sunday, although I suspect he will actually have played less competetive football than Jo this season.
Don't mind me, I have seen it all before.
Fuck sake Bert, you low on valium?
I'm a very happy boy tonight. Yes we played shit. Too many bad performances to mention, but we are through and we therefore have something other than the normal humdrum to keep us mildly interested, hopefully at least til the New Year. I don't expect us to win it.
I'm very happy about SWP too. He gives us more options. We have a promising young squad. Hughes has promise also. Jo has played but two games for us and is only 21. You've been hanging around that perennial wind up merchant Bastard too much.
You're right about one thing though. You have seen it all before. You've seen us win the League, the FA Cup, Cup Winners Cup and more. You know it's possible to be successful. You have less cause than the rest of us to be so bitter. Let others dream if they want to. Can't do much harm, can it?
