They all the same the same thing, I don't think they realise they're two different tournaments. The one we lost in the final they plopped at.

I don't care who we get in pot3/4 as long as they're not far to travel.

I wonder if we'll buy anyone with the CL money now Let the speculation commence

I would prefer Martin O'Neill to play RB.

I know we already have at least 5 strikers, Garcia and Kewell.

I miss him playing badly and giving me an easy excuse.

That's never stopped real in the past.

Israelis wanting revenge, in a malicious way, who'd have thought it

I really hope so

I was amazed nobody else mentioned it. The commentators called it fair? if it was in the centre circle it was a free kick no doubt.

Seriously though, I know Hyypia's a slow starter, but if he doesn't improve we should be looking at Carragher and Agger as 1st choice. Sheff United championship players rang rings round him.

Agger, because he seems a lot better.

A lot of new players as well, asking a lot. Aurelio, Agger, Kromkamp, Zenden, Gonzalez, Bellamy, Fowler, Sissoko, Pennant all arrived in the last 12 months and all figured.

Have we had one yet? On the official site profiles it still has the pictures from 2 years ago.

or 7

TEAM FOR MACKABYHIFOR! Reina Finnan Agger Hyypia Aurelio Pennant Alonso Sissoko Garcia Gerrard Crouch!!!

If our squad is as good/strong as we think, we should have been able to cope with all problems.

And we're already 2 points behind with a tough run of games to come. More than possible we could lose to Everton/United/Chelsea, and Spurs/Bolton/Newcastle won't be a walk in the park. I'm over-reacting but we could soon see ourselves in the same position as last year, where we've lost the league by the end of Sep if we don't buck our ideas up. If we can get through the tough up and coming games and still be within 6-9 points, we'll have a chance, but it'll be tough.

What annoys me, is that unlike Arsenal who attacked and attacked and got a draw, i honestly can't say we were the better side, or even if we were, only slightly. If someone had said before the game we'd draw, i'd have said it would be one of those games where nothing goes for you, and we have 30 odd attempts, but we looked very ordinary in all departments

We'll beat Fulham and Charlton twice this year, making up for the points dropped yesterday.

Why couldn't we play a team who don't look arsed for our first game!

Maybe for Sheff United.

I'm not over confident we can beat WHam, they're a very good side, and with CL midweek it could take it out of us and force Rafa to play a weakened side. With Kuyt probable to start, we'll need him to have a good game.

PL is so tough this year, I wouldn't be shocked if our points total from last year is enough to win it. There are so many teams that could take points from the top lot. We need to get a grip as I hope the shield win hasn't gone to our heads.

How many points did we get from our first 5 games last season?
