    Nah your right Saxo. I can't see a Greece or a Denmark beating all the best International sides in Europe, in the Euro finals. That will never happen.

    And in the FA Cup, no lower league sides ever beat a side in a higher division. Especially a non league side. That has never happened.
    Probably one of the best Blackburn sides in our history (whom we spent millions on building) would never lose a game to a Trelleborgs.

    Nah, Football is straight forward. We may aswell pack up now, every other side apart from Chelsea & City. And all fold.

    I will go on record and say sorry to saxo I was almost certain that you said on a previous thread(not Lowe or Williamson)that you thought Williamson was an ok player I was obviously wrong however the average player statement takes some beating.

    Gestede average player?past few games he has been a proper handful I was at ewood for the derby game and the city game and he was a class act.

    Cairney average player?he would walk into any championship team and lower prem teams if this lad is played in the middle is a real diamond of a player.

    Evans average player?if he continues his form before injury there is no need to worry about Lowe or Williamson as I can't see either getting a look in.

    Saxo you claim that if all we sign is average players we will end up to be a average mid table team did we not sign cairney at the same time as gestede so that must class him as average as well.
