Im Back

By: rich | April 4th, 2008

Welcome back readers. My problems have been fixed by the boys at The Offside, and now i can blog regularly again.

Which is good news for me, and hopefully good news for you.

Anyway down to business,

KK(Kevin Keegan) has reiterated the importance of this weekends game. When talking to SkySports today he said “”Three points there and I think we should be safe - I’ve always said 40 points but with teams down the bottom having to play each other - probably less than 40 will do.”

Now thats confidence for you. It is in my opinion, far too early for us to be saying that. We may lose horrifically tomorrow and be back at square 1. Reading will be thinking the same and will want to grab the three points. He understands the importance of the game, but we shouldnt be thinking of safety so flippantly. We cant go into tomorrows game thinking 1 win will do and then we can relax. We need two wins at least before we can say that.

As for rebuilding the team, its blatantly obvious that we need to get rid of a few players. We’ve said this before and the dead wood has remained. However, we’ve been promised wholesale changes and we’ll hopefully get them. Jose Antonio Reyes has been mooted as has Francois Clerc and in other circles Gianpaoulo Pazzini. In all honesty, i’d only have 1 of them and that would be Francois Clerc. Its all rumours at the minute and we’ll wait and see.

Whenever theres a guesstimation in the paper i always take it with a pinch of salt. As Brian Clough once said “Dont believe anything in the papers, unless i’ve said it, then it’s all true.”

    wel we won 3-0 and we r deffo safe. the way the fixtures are st out for the teams below us means we cant really go down, and they way we are playing we are safe. its a good job that keegan worked his majic and turnd things round but we al knew he could do that. lets hope whoever we buy in summer they can play aswel as we are playing now.

    Glad to have you back. I was worried that the Toon legions would be forever silenced on the Offside, so it’s great that this baby is getting cranked up again.

    And speaking of cranked up, who’s ready to trounce Pompey this weekend?
