I didn't say I thought they WOULD turn out to be a good team

I said it is too early to tell.

But the player's careers generally suggest that they are considerably better (Thank God!) than they showed us on Saturday (obviously just being better won't be enough though - the defence at least will have to be LOTS better)

Why do they keep harping on about Gunny losing 7-1 against Blackburn hundreds of years (NCFC) - BSE Canary, Aug 10, 13:11:41
- Doesn't make it acceptable (NCFC) - BB_King, Aug 10, 13:17:19
  - we we're doing very well that season already though (n/m) (NCFC) - samcd84, Aug 10, 13:27:34
  - Careful, I said that yesterday and got a bollocking... (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 10, 13:19:01
    - No problem (NCFC) - BB_King, Aug 10, 13:26:24
      - No, me neither. (n/m) (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 10, 14:01:37
        
        Think you've missed the point (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Aug 10, 14:13:35
        
        What point? (n/m) (NCFC) - BB_King, Aug 10, 14:14:52
        
        Of course you can have opinion (NCFC) - duke of york, Aug 10, 14:21:23
        
        Actually, you could turn it around and say (NCFC) - BB_King, Aug 10, 14:24:33
- So that we can get into the history books by beating Bayern Millwall next season. (n/m) (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 10, 13:15:53
- Because it is a coincidental quirk? Where have they made it an excuse for Saturday? (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 10, 13:14:20
- Indeed pointless (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 10, 13:13:25
  - we stunk in that game (& the ones at Liverpool & Spurs that year) but we were a good team (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 13:19:09
    - My brother went to that game (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 10, 13:26:11
      - And virtually everything Blackburn hit went in (NCFC) - duke of york, Aug 10, 13:30:33
        
        Same happened on Saturday. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Aug 10, 13:51:29
        
        I remember two early second half (NCFC) - duke of york, Aug 10, 14:00:19
        
        I think the more dubious stats are the 16 or so on and off they've given us! (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 10, 14:01:49
        
        We had nearly twice as many shots as them? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 10, 14:03:28
        
        No no no. They had 9 on and a bunch off. According to Pinkun they were the same actually (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 10, 14:05:18
        
        So it should have been a draw. I feel much better now. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 10, 14:06:46
    - Yeah, but first game that season we won at Highbury!!! (n/m) (NCFC) - Greeny, Aug 10, 13:23:41
      - well, maybe this team will win at Leeds later in the season (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 13:27:39
        
        You have to agree, though, that in terms of precedents for the season... (NCFC) - Greeny, Aug 10, 13:31:57
        
        well obviously (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 13:40:03
        
        Fair - I was at many of those games in 92/93... (NCFC) - Greeny, Aug 10, 13:46:16
        
        I don't think Mr Carra is saying that he expects a turnaround. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Aug 10, 13:55:28
        
        I honestly think that's quite a dangerous thing to say (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 10, 13:59:50
        
        doesn't need to be a whole season (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 14:02:48
        
        Has a horrible "famous last words" ring to it, doesn't it??!! (n/m) (NCFC) - Greeny, Aug 10, 14:02:07
        
        I didn't say I thought they WOULD turn out to be a good team (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 13:53:51
      - In my top 5 great games that one... (NCFC) - Fierce Panda, Aug 10, 13:26:42
        
        It was genius - nobody saw it coming. Rather like Saturday in a way... (n/m) (NCFC) - Greeny, Aug 10, 13:29:12
  - Interesting point of view! We're allowed to get battered 7-1 sometimes? (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 10, 13:14:32
    - BrandOnion is right though - we were... (NCFC) - Fierce Panda, Aug 10, 13:18:21
      - We were not that bad that day. Everything they hit went in. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Aug 10, 13:27:32
        
        Whichever way you look at it Steve - in pure footy terms letting in 7 is pretty poor... (NCFC) - Fierce Panda, Aug 10, 13:29:37
        
        yeah, if that'd been the case on Saturday no-one would have been on here complaining! (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 13:32:35
    - No but we were top of the premier league at the time (NCFC) - earlydoors, Aug 10, 13:16:59
      - You should also remember a very specifc fact that I think the media are... (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 10, 13:19:57
        
        Yes, I agree. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 10, 13:20:47
      - I didn't go to either, but can confirm they were completely different games. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 10, 13:18:28
    - Only if the day ended in a 'Y' (n/m) (NCFC) - Klobo04, Aug 10, 13:16:37
- Because conincidental statistics make for great news. (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 10, 13:12:49
