Terrible news about the injuries. Just terrible. And yet, I'm not even surprised.
This season.
Positives:
- The development of Ngog, Lucas and Insua. Insua is still prone to mistakes (who isn't?) but in my opinion has settled in nicely.
- Ummm.... We beat United?
- There's no chance of me "pulling an Owen" and changing teams. This season will live long in the memory.
- It's impossible to just flag this season and start again next season.
Negatives:
- LOSSES. Losses to sh*t teams, losses to good teams, we have just lost so often this season its crazy.
- Out of the FA Cup. In the 3rd round. To Reading (20th in the Championship). We even got a second chance to beat them at home.
- Out of the Champion's League. The only reason we managed to get into the Europa League was because Debrecen were actually worse than us. Fiorentina are no great shakes. Lyon didn't even win the French League last season (I think?)
- Out of the Carling Cup. Arsenal away was never going to be a fun place to go to, to be fair. But f**king hell. I would've taken a trophy. Any trophy...
- Out of the title race. Killed. All my dreams crushed just like that.
- Fighting for 4th place. Actually more apt would probably be fihgting for 6th place.
- Injuries. Is there a player in our team who hasn't had an injury this year? Oh, Kuyt and Lucas. But particularly injuries to Torres and Gerrard. The last thing we needed.
- Mocking. It has become unbearable! From beach balls to phone calls, from jokes to photos, I have endured the most torrid of time. From proper fans and Twits from school. I guess that's what happens when you wear your heart on your sleeve and all that.
- Yanks are still here, we have no money and are in a pretty bad financial position. The fact we celebrate getting rid of Voronin and Dossena, and bring in someone (on free, of course) shows how low it has become. Where's the joy we felt when Torres signed?
- We could become Leeds United, or something similar.
- The atmosphere around the ground has been awful.
- Rafa has (probably rightfully, to an extent) taken so much blame for a bunch of players who hardly look arsed.
- Most of the players don't even look like they give a f**k.
- This list could go on for so much longer.
