craig 5,199 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) We would damage them. They would earn less if we finished above them. Rodgers is right here celtc would eventually be huge in England so would we. Depends on how you spend the new-found wealth and how your business is rrun. Newcastle "should" be huge given their significant and loyal following.... but are now also-rans because of the way they are run.

der Berliner 3,320 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) I am afraid there is nothing wrong in using threat in that context. It would mean a threat to beat them on the football park which would cause psychological football pain. It is just the same if a striker is a goal threat. Another saying is we have got to try and hurt them which means in a football sense and not a physical sense. Hence I placed "a bit of irony" in front of it. Of course the use is perfectly correct, but when it comes to the Hooped Horrors (not the team as such), it carries a different meaning too Edited September 30, 2016 by der Berliner 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is that Sunderland are kind of similar in results to size of support and wealth ratio... Middlesburgh also have underperformed in that sense. Is it a North East England thing (Ashley apart)? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuGers 477 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Possibly that a lot of the Northern (English) cities aren't seen as 'glamorous' so they find it harder to attract players when they are in competition from London area clubs? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,684 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The raving of Rodgers on account of a single result that wasn't even a win is absurd. This is the same team beaten by the taxi drivers of Gibraltar and played off the park in Israel where if the Israelis hadn't luckily for Rodgers missed a penalty they wouldn't even be in the Champions league at all. They called their defeat in Gibraltar a one off anomaly and that's exactly what a draw with Man City was too. The reality will be evident when they go to Manchester and find a Man City nothing like so accommodating defensively and who will score at least another 3 and probably even more. Beaten by taxi drivers; played off the park by Israelis; and after two champions league matches 10 goals conceded? Euro giants? Don't make me laugh any harder than I already am. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
