Football: WORLD CUP 06 and close season/transfer discussion.

Post by PaulEMoz »

And so, as the season is in the segue stage, it's time for a new thread devoted to the upcoming 2005/6 season.

Trophies have been won, lessons have been learned, there has been joy and sadness and apathy and disappointment.

I've learned lessons. Never again will I be seduced by a big name signing to the extent that I change my avatar to reflect said signing. I've learned not to jump in at the height of footballing passion and outrage, but to reflect a little and post a more measured response.

I have also learned that footballing banter among mates is one of life's highlights, and so I'm looking forward to plenty more gems, right here, over the next year or so. And if I'm really lucky, I might even get to go to a game with one or more of you.

So, without further ado, let the footballing crack begin anew. Have we signed anyone else yet? :D

05/06 Hopes:

Rangers to retain the SPL title, and have a decent European run (I'm realistic - I'll be chuffed if we survive beyond Christmas, anything more than that will be a bonus).

Chelsea to make it that one step further in the Champions League than they have done the previous two seasons. Oh, and win the league of course!

Southampton to come straight back up from the Championship.

Scotland to win back some respectability on the international front.

Millwall on the opening day for us. Might run a sweep on who gets involved in the customary brawl. :roll:

So Spurs and Chelsea have reached an agreement in principle for compensation over the Arnesen debacle.

About time too. Now we Spurs fans can get back to the usual summer activities of being linked with high profile players that we have no realistic chance of getting, signing promising players that turn out mediocre and having false optimism about a great season that will turn out average :wink:
No time for heartache, no time to run and hide,
no time for breaking down, no time to cry.

I REALLY hope that Chelski are not penalised any points for their nefarious business activities.

When Manchester United win the Premiership this year, I want it to be honourable.

Or, "Please Mr FA, dock 50 points from the cheating blue bastards as its the only way that United will win the title, and also dock 20 points from ARSEnal because they might be better than us too. Leave the scousers in it, however, we can sort them out.

Thank you.

Mr. Zoot"

I think it is right that Mozzie should have the honour, as we wouldn't have had this without his original thought.

The fact that your original suggestion didn't bear fruit is down to my intransigence in moving away from the old thread. For that I apologise to you personally, but at the time I was very determined that we didn't lose what, to me, had been a very important part of my life last year.

We now have a compromise, and I am happy for that. Keep posting in here as you have, and keep us entertained :D

If you don't join us for at least a cup match I'll be disappointed :D. I've been looking forward to adding you to our list of people to ring when one of our group's away on a Saturday too.

No, but you do appear to be getting an old friend back, as no-one else will touch him with a bargepole :twisted:
