Roeder's Lucky 7

Ah, Glen Roeder. My favourite person. What a lovely guy, eh? A player's manager. Give him a cuddle. Did marvellously to turn around Newcastle's season last season. Finished 7th didn't they? Oh shit.

Glen Roeder's mangerial history...

Gillingham
1992/93: Relegated (Div. 3)

Watford
1994/95: 7th (Div. 1)
1995/96: Relegated

West Ham
2001/2002: 7th (Prem.)
2002/2003: Relegated

Newcastle
2005/2006: 7th
2006/2007: ?

When Glen Roeder finishes 7th, he tends to get relegated the next season. As I write, Newcastle are struggling to hold SK Lillestrom to a draw in the first round of the Inter-Twobob Cup, have so far signed no-one this summer, Shearer has retired, and Owen's knee is fucked. They have also been linked to signing Juan Pablo Angel. Not looking good. Surely not?

Well, just signed Duff and beat Lillestrom 3-0. You could say I would be more than happy to make a bet that Newcastle WILL finish above the Ham this season.
