The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2004 (edited) Well, that's Palace up for a year. There's no way they'll stay up - West Ham would've had a much better chance. Shipperly, Johnson and Freedman are just not good enough for the Premier League so they'll have to spend a lot, but can anyone see any decent players going to Palace? It's not like they've got a real tradition and history (yes, I know - typical Forest talking about history) to attract players. At least it means I don't have to make the god awful trip to Selhurst Park next season. Oh, and this weekend is the 25th anniversiry of Forest winning the European Cup for the first time. So to celebrate I though everyone on this forum could post a photo of their team lifting the European Cup. Here's John McGoven - So I await the photo's of Derby, Bristol, Southampton, Leicester etc and their European Cup triumphs.... Edit - Jesus, I've really got to stop living in the past....

deancoles 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2004 So I await the photo's of Derby, Bristol, Southampton, Leicester etc and their European Cup triumphs.... Edit - Jesus, I've really got to stop living in the past.... We were the first ever Southern club to finish second in the 1st Division in 1906-1907 and our only FA Cup Final was a few years after that(that's really living in the past) BTW, the less said about today the better, I'm just glad Cardiff is only about 20 miles away and I'll say that from the City end it looked like the penalty was harsh(I saw the tv a minute ago and it was a pen) and that the game was much better if you were at the stadium whereas on TV it must have been awful.Read my post from last night and you'll see I was 99% right on my prediction.I bet the Sky commentators were talking about our "fantastic fans" and yet we average 11-12 thousand fans in a 20 thousand seater stadium. Edit:Just read the BBC website, how the hell did Knight get 8/10, no player on that pitch deserved anything more than 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deancoles 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2004 Here's how I think the Premiership will finish next year. 1. Arsenal(Best attack in England will make up for the lack of defensive cover) 2. Chelsea(They need a World Class Striker to ever win the league) 3. Manchester United(I think they'll be fighting Liverpool for 3rd place for the next few years) 4. Liverpool(Benitez signs Ayala and Wright-Phillips but Owen leaves in summer of 2005) 5. Newcastle(they win the Worthington Cup but the crap defense lets them down in league) 6. Birmingham(about 9 teams have a chance to finish 6th) 7. Charlton 8. Tottenham 9. Aston Villa 10. Midddlesbrough 11. Portsmouth 12. Bolton 13. Southampton 14. Blackburn 15. Norwich 16. Manchester City 17. Fulham(They rely too much on Boa Morte and Malbranque and if they don't play well then Fulham struggle) 18. Everton(Teams finishing 17th usually go down the next season) 19. West Brom(not good enough) 20. Crystal Palace(Only Routledge and Johnson are premiership quality, the rest are either past their best or are players who try hard but lack quality) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted June 2, 2004 1. Arsenal(Best attack in England will make up for the lack of defensive cover) They may win it again, but its not because they have the best attack making up for an 'ok' defence. 8. Tottenham And this club is proof of that. Jermaine Defoe didn't exactly fire them up the league, did he? No way they finish 8th. At this rate, no chance they actually get a Manager before the end of next season as well. 11. Portsmouth Simply not good enough to get here - can't win away either. 15. Norwich I nearly spat my drink out when I read this. They do a West Brom - enjoy the ride, consolidate, and come back stronger in a few seasons. Otherwise, your predications seem fair to me.

DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2004 I wouldn't be surprised if we managed a decent position this year. Robinson is a good keeper, the new manager wont play Ledley King in midfield like Pleat did, and we've got good attacking options. Our basic first team is: GK-Robinson RB-Carr LB-Tarrico (but hopefully we'll buy a new left back) CB-King CB-Gardner RW-Davies LW-Jackson CM-Redknapp CM-Brown CF-Defoe CF-Keane Plus Doherty, Ricketts, Kanoute, Postiga and Keller all on standby, we've got a decent first team squad. Add some good summer signings and a new managerial regime and I can see us doing well this year. Of course, I say that every year, but I'm feeling confident about the 2004-2005 season.
