Did we? I expect Man U, Man City, Everton, Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham, Palace, Stoke & Leicester were higher.
I only want us to improve on the previous year, every year. Yes it gets tougher as we reach places like 8th position but its possible and achievable. Its something a lot of us are asked to do in our jobs sometimes in worsening environments. That to me is a reasonable ask as a fan.
Not according to various articles we weren't. Leicester and West Ham were just behind us, Stoke way below us.
It gets harder to improve the league position as lately there has only been 5-7 teams above us....a cup would be nice. What I want is to see the team try their hardest and provide lots of entertaining football with some wins against the top clubs. Improvement in league position may come from that...hopefully with a Europa place...but if not, we'll still have enjoyed the season.
If they hold onto VVD in the face of 60m offers then that is the ambition we have been needing to show and I'm happy. Don't expect us to hang on till every contract is up but to put an end to the annual gutting. Thats ambition enough for me, the results will be what they will be after that.
Ok. Not sure what to say now. Not watched us much and criticise the players, including Redmond who at 22 (?) is apparently running out of time. Ok. Right. Next
I didn't get to watch us at the stadium, so didn't get the chance to see if Cedric had improved his defensive game fully as a lot of it is off camera. From what I saw, Clyne was better for us. Redmond has barely improved his all round game since he broke through at Birmingham, he's just now playing with better players. I didn't say he was running out of time. I'm just saying I don't rate him. He's 23, by the way. I get the impression you live a very empty life, what would you do if you couldn't come on this forum to be your condescending self?
For what it's worth, I agree with you about Cedric, but not about Redmond. Just opinions though. No biggie really.
