| See my signature......
I want us to win everything, but I expect us to finsh in the top 4
I want us to batter Saints off the park, but I'll be happy with a couple of last minute drop goal victories!
I want the team to be consistent, fear no-one, and never have the kind of 'off days' that we've grown so used to.

| Could you contradict yourself any more in one thread!?
You answer the OP by stating:
Quote ="the flying biscuit"not bothered never have been ...........I'll Just be happy being a Wires fan and a fan of Rugby League.'"
Now:
Quote ="the flying biscuit"I want Wire to win things what a foolish thing to try and imply otherwise....
I just dont have "expectations" for next year.'"
Yet previously:
Quote ="the flying biscuit"if we make the top 8 great, if we dont i'll be dissapointed'"
You have expectations of the top 8 otherwise you wouldn't feel the need to be disappointed and clearly by being disappointed you would be bothered!
Quote ="the flying biscuit"and when people Are expecting us to finish top when there is nothing to suggest we can do this, it is going to land us in the realms of where saints fans are at now.... wanting the Coach out because they didnt finish top, they only finished 2nd, come on its a joke .... '"
You are comparing Warrington fans, starved of league success, to Saints fans who have had plenty of it since Superleague began. Now that's a joke! You seem hugely paranoid that you might be compared to a Saints or Wigan fan if Warrington won things on a regular basis.
Quote ="the flying biscuit"I'm sat here quite happy that we have won a trophy and not at all bothered about not featuring in the playoffs...i'm looking forward to the four nations and cant wait for next season but im certainly not going to stew in my own juices for the next 12 months because we dont finish Where I want us to....'"
I'm bothered because I'm disappointed in our league form yet I'm delighted that we have won the cup.
Quote ="the flying biscuit"oh and the Morley Avatar ...he's not a bad player is he ?
If you saw my previous avatar it Was Des drummond with the Regal trophy in 1991 .....spooky that in't it
imagine expecting the trophies to come flooding in after that season......'"
He is a cracking player and I'm sure there are many images of him without the Challenge Cup. You might find a few of Dessie, trophy-less, too.
Supporters always expect the absolute most from their team. It's natural to expect your sports team to win and following a victory in the CC you'll have to accept a lot of fans with high expectations for the league next season. Bookmakers will have Warrington in the top 6 in the betting to win the league, maybe higher, so it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that we will win the league and GF. So why not expect improvements of the highest order? Even if it's a dream at this stage it certainly doesn't make those supporters akin to Saints or Wigan fans and absolutely doesn't mean they have "cockitis"

but whatever happens just because we have won one trophy ....a beautiful big shiny one at that ......it doesnt mean I have to turn into a cock like a saints fan or a Wigan Fan....'"
So if you arent bothered, as you claim, why would you be disaspointed at not making the top 8??

| Quote ="Teddington Wire"if we do what huddersfield have done this season, i'd be happy with that. i'd like us to play with a bit more style than they have, but you can't argue with their results. if anyone had said that they would have been 3rd in super league and challenge cup finalists at the start of the season, you'd have been carted off. if they can improve like that though, i hope that we can too.'"
I'd actually be happy with doing what we've done this season again next year, even if it did mean coming 10th in the league. I'd certainly rather win the Challenge Cup than do what Huddersfield have done.
In years to come if people ask what happened in the 2009 season I wonder what people will remember, who came 3rd, or who won the Challenge Cup?
Who won the Challenge Cup in 1998? lots of people know the answer to that one....where did they finish in the league, there's a tough one without Rothmans....

Does "not bothered never have been" answer a question of "what do you expect" or "what do you want" ?

| I would love another trip to Wembley and a good play off run. So I'd say to finish in the top 4 to guarante a home tie at some stage. Oh and to beat bloody Saints home & away.

He would only end up having a big arguement with himself with chairs flying out of the window and the neighbours having to call the police and his care in the community officer to restore the peace.

I'm gonna quote this and keep it as a sig. I never fully know when you are or aren't Sally-ing, but this is my trail of thought. Without getting too much into another cock measuring thread, but who gives a chuff if you finish top, second, third et al in the league tables and don't win? When fans look back at the 2007 and 2008 seasons, they will not be looking at Saints topping the table, they will be looking at Leeds being crowned as "Champions".

| Quote ="sally cinnamon"Top four in the league would be a good place to target'"
pah, modest ambitions
Quote ="sally cinnamon"but the real improvement we need is to be able to take on sides like Leeds and Saints and beat them. '"
Well we beat Leeds in a big game.
Quote ="sally cinnamon"
However if we are to retain the Cup, which is our best chance of winning a trophy again in the near future, we will need to be ready to beat at least one of Leeds or Saints when it counts. '"
See above.
Quote ="sally cinnamon"
My biggest hope for us next season is for us to beat a top team in the Challenge Cup. If we put out Leeds or Saints in one of the rounds en route to the final, it will open up the draw and put us in a good position to defend it. If we defended the Challenge Cup it would be a legendary achievement.'"
And it was a legendary achievement.
I guess I can say I was happy with 2010, we did much better than I thought we would. Great times to be a Wire.

| Quote ="Rob Wire"Just to show more consistency in the league and to build on what we achieved this year , touch wood the players will be hungry for more finals and silverware after experiencing wembley and the homecoming.
Sorting out our defence will go along way to achieving the above along with being quicker around the markers, quicker play of the balls to catch teams on the back foot.
I`ll be happy if we make the top 5 and a major final (touch wood a trophy as well) as that should be a realistic target next season especially with a much stronger squad along with having a recognised scrum half.'"
We achieved what i was hoping for this year, better consistency in the league, the defence was certainly a lot better than in previous years as well as being quicker around the ruck. At wembley the defence was exceptional.
We made the top 5, reached a major final and won a trophy. Happy Days

| 3/4 place in the League.
Semi's or final of cc.
Let's not get caught up in this yet, we dont even know what the fixtures are yet, we could have about 6 or 7 games at the start of the season againts 'lower table teams' we could have the ball rolling then and then anythings possible.
