Andy H Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Cardiff expectations for life in the premiership: After a very fruitful season for the team from Wales the question is can they hold their own in the premiership. Last season saw Cardiff finally get into the premiership via the play offs and have a fantastic run in the FA Cup only to be put out by Dave's Rushden. This season the board's expectations of the team is to battle bravely against relegation. I am hoping that my team can hold their own in the premiership and hopefully achieve a top half finish with possible good runs in both the League Cup and the FA Cup. After receiving my TV money I only have 3.5 million to spend on players due to my clubs crappy stadium needing upgraded to meet premiership regulations. So money is tight I am not going to be delving into the transfer market as I feel i have a good enough team to be able to hold my own in the big boys league.

Guest Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Aston Villa - preview of the new season Well, as I won't be there till late tomorrow, I can only worry at the prospect of what sort of players my assistant will sign. So far in my abscence he has signed 38 year old Northwich Victoria reject Youri Djorkaeff, 35 year old Emmanuel Petit and some unknown 33 year old Swedish dud. With £12mil to spend, I can only imagine what sort of damage he will do. Anyway, with the already confirmed signings of two promising young forwards - Arsenal's Jeremie Aliardieré and scouse git Neil Mellor of Liverpool - and the unoubted best keeper in the SPL Antii Niemi to replace the retiring Francisco Antonioli, plus 2 wingers joining too, we have the backbone of a good team. However, what we lack is depth and if we get injuries to important players, we may struggle. The main aim for the season is 17th place, and not to do a WBA (or Man Utd )in the cup and lose to a team of milkmen. Anything more than that is a successful season.

If you dont like me, your Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 _WBA Update_ Not much activity on the transfer market this year. After winning the EPL and the league cup for the fourth time, WBA manager Koprivnik said "Im just happy. Even if we didnt want to say it but there was a hell lot of pressure on us. We were so close last year and at one momment it looked like we´re gonna loose it again right at the end this year too. I decided to stick with the team we have for another year, only a right midfielder was needed so we signed Jermaine Pennant. I think he wil fit in quite well." So for the readers outside, which is the "So much money invested", "All-Starr" "Allmighty" Wba team? Gk: Paul Robinson Def: Rio Ferdinand, Taribo West Def Mid: Seth Johnson, Marc Vivien Foe, Danny Mills AMC: Joe Cole, David Dunn, Denilson SC: Allan Smith, Djibrill Cisse Subs: Saha, Hersi, Pennant, Bramble, Prutton, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjohnston1511 Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Yet another player from my southampton team in ucmig signs for wba Rushden Expectations After last seasons success, next season i'll be hoping to push for a cl place, although i'll prolly miss the 2nd half of the season, so i dont see that happening. Also a good run in the UEFA this time would be good, and maybe win another domestic cup again, although dont see that happening since WBA are gona win it all . On the transfer scene, few talented young dc's already signed, so maybe just one or 2 players needed to bring in to strengthen the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldy Posted August 17, 2002 Author Share Posted August 17, 2002 Lets just stick to EFB please guys. A bit more on topic than discuss other members on the board. Boston Review Well, hoping to please the board again by surviving and avoiding the drop, just like they want me to do. Well due to a poor defence last season we didnt do as good as we could have,at the other end though it seemed alright as McDowell won the Golden Boot. Well this season im hoping to land 2 good young defenders to help strengthen that defence. Midfield also needed a little more depth and strength so Ive brought in a couple of players. In Attack ive also added a couple of players including Fallon which will rotate and cover in injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjohnston1511 Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Rushden - Weekend review Well after last seasons 5th place and fa cup win i had high hopes for the season, and so far its not dissapointed. Season started with a home game to Goldy's boston and ended with a comfortable 5-1 victory to me. Things continued to go well after that with wins over boro and vince's man city, before i lost to steve's assistant at villa . Things picked up again after that with some more impressive wins over chelsea, spurs, cardiff and the mighty man u. A 3-2 loss at home to wba soon followed, but wins against Fulham, newcastle and Liverpool put me to the top of the league. In Uefa rushden suffered a dissapointing 3rd round defeat against psv, in lc we were knocked out by cardiff, and in fa knocked out by blackburn.

Guest Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Aston Villa Well, Villa's first season in the Premiership has exceeded all expectations so far. At the start of the season, the target was to survive. We are now in the middle of January and sitting 5th in the league, and in a position to push for Europe. Some superb results include a 3-2 win over Man City, 4-1 against Chelsea and 2-1 against Leeds. Tonight, we were only defeated twice, sadly both by human teams, Boston beating us 3-1 and Cardiff winning 4-3 in an excellent game. New signings such as ElpÃdio Silva, Kevin Kyle, Fabio Rochemback, Roy Carroll, Adil Ramzy and Bjorn Reuter have significantly strengthened the side and impressed in their first few games. Hopefully next week we can continue our good form and possibly push for a UEFA cup spot. However, the first 3 games are against WBA, Boston (FA CUp 4th round) and Rushden, so it wont be easy.

Moonraker Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Well I said consolidation was the aim this season and that looks likely to be about the best we can hope for. However i have looked at strengthening the squad with the aquisition of Postiga,Tevushenko and Ricketts from Boston (Thanks Goldy ) and Bridge from Villa (Thanks Steve R ).So no fireworks this season but building for the future.
