Hope Springs Eternal!

By: Allan | September 9th, 2010
   

I’ve deliberately waited until after the transfer window before writing this. It seems our owner has loosened the purse strings and allowed SB the privilege of signing a new striker. It’s a hell of a lot of money for somebody that’s not exactly high profile; I sure as hell hope it works. Prior to this, it was difficult not to feel a degree of frustration regarding our lack of transfer activity. Having recouped good money for both Cana and Jones, we hadn’t really managed to make the sort of signings that would propel us into the top 10. If it was a case of simply balancing the books, then fair enough. However, the board seemed to give a slightly different impression when season tickets were being flogged during the summer. The signing of a replacement for Jones was important, but as the result against the Baggies illustrated, we’re still very susceptible to dropping points away from home. I still feel the deficiencies within the squad run deeper than just a new partner for Darren Bent.
By keeping going right to the death against Man. City, at least the lads showed a fair degree of character. It’s high time they started showing the same belief away from the SOL. Funniest bit of the day was Tevez’s miss – it reminded me of a similar howler Peter Van Vossen had against Celtic a few years ago. I thought both Henderson (again) and Wellbeck showed up very well in the second half. Our young goalkeeper, despite looking nervous on his debut against Brum, also did himself proud against City. Still on the subject of safe hands, a big thanks must go to England’s new No. 1: Joe Hart for giving us a helping hand by diving over the ball at the end. Hopefully, we’ll carry the same luck for the remainder of the season.
Bring on the Latics!

    When I was child, I made many dreams, to be successful person, get new automobile for my life, get good soul mate, etc. It is the initial path that I will tell you in this comment. I get this motivation of writing this comment because of several reasons. First, let me go with your website. If I don’t mistake, you use your own CMS or your custom platform. It can be additional advantages for me and for you. Why? It is because you are smart person. I seldom met other person that qualifies in my new project. What is that? It is secret now, but it is related to your specialty. If you can give me additional details, I can make you as my primary partner (if you don’t mind). Let me know about that. Sorry for giving this invitation in this comment, might be you are the chosen one.
