I don't think we're winning the league this year - although I refuse to give up just yet. But if we fail it won't be because we lost the league cup semi-final. It will be because of injuries, lack of squad depth and, the big one, lack of a clinical striker. Odegaard hits the post which would have made it 2-1, game on. Not long later Newcastle go 1-0 up and it's game over.
How is that relevant? Half the team were reserves, Bentley was playing instead of Henry, Ryan Smith instead of Pires, and that was the Juninho era at Middlesboro. We had Reyes, Bergkamp, Wiltord we could have brought in. Are you trying to compare that to our first team this season?

If anything, trying to use that season to compare with this has to be a joke, right? I think he was joking, not serious.
