Super_Ally 0 Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Continuing my broken record theme. Found these stats interesting though: In the last 5 years since Strachan took over at the piggery, title winning teams have droipped the following: 2005/2006 - Celtic 23 points - 3 losses 2006/2007 - Celtic 30 points - 6 losses 2007/2008 - Celtic 25 points - 5 losses 2008/2009 - Rangers 28 points - 4 losses To date rangers have dropped 20 points with just 2 losses. Our current squad are therefore on course to be the best team to win the league in the last 5 years. I actually don't think we will, statistically speaking, be the best team of the last 5 years as I think with the job all but done and likely our last 4 games or so meaning nothing, that we will drop points in some of these "dead rubbers" (to borrow Tennis parlance). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 We could have been so better if we didn't have so many draws at the start of the season. If we lose say 25 points this season that wont be bad. I would say if we get 85 points then that will be alright. However winning the league is all that matters for me at the moment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but we might have some interesting ammunition to back up our points if the tims/media continue with this worst team to win the league patter. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisabeer 409 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 right now we are absolutely terrible. no one is performing to an acceptable level and smith has resorted to playing backs to the wall football again. Hamilton showed us up on Saturday (not for the first time this season) and i dont expect it to get any better tonight against the sheep. find yer balls walter and take the game to the opposition. Stop bricking it and show everyone whos the boss. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totti 0 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) right now we are absolutely terrible. no one is performing to an acceptable level and smith has resorted to playing backs to the wall football again. Hamilton showed us up on Saturday (not for the first time this season) and i dont expect it to get any better tonight against the sheep. find yer balls walter and take the game to the opposition. Stop bricking it and show everyone whos the boss. I wouldn't say we're terrible. Limited though, certainly. As I said a month ago in this topic when we were in such good form: We've been solid this season domestically and will deservedly win the league but we literally have no competition whatsoever. We were shown up in Europe to be limited. It will do for just now. But I want some hope for a better future. For us to be more than just a side that beats a very poor Celtic side in the league. I'd like to see plans to build a proper infrastructure at the club. Proper scouting, coaching, youth development etc. Then build an organised side with an emphasis on short passing and good football that easily put on a show against the dross in the SPL but then also be able to challenge other European clubs of a similar stature. The quarter finals in the champions league should be a realistic goal for a club of our size. Since the end of the season 2002/03 we seem to have been in a continuous cycle of financial meltdown and rebuilding team the entire squad. I'd have happily taken a couple of bad seasons if I could see us finally bringing the club up to the 21st century and building a good squad. By now we should be very secure financially with a lower debt and already much further developed on other fronts. The only progress we've really made in these seasons is having a fairly decent SPL level side. Walter has easily won the league this season and he possibly will next. But we are nowhere near the level we should be at and any decent side in Europe would beat us, as demonstrated in the CL this season. PS - I'm not sure if people are aware how easy we've had it in the league this season. Take Robbie Keane out the Celtic side and they really wouldn't look out of place at the bottom of the championship in England.
