Race for 4th is on.

could be a race for top five if the English teams do well. We want Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool, City, Villa and Arsenal to do well in their respective European campaigns so the coefficient points add up and we get the extra CL place, but also so they burn out and crumble in the league…

Arsenal I think we will do it. But Pool?

Looks increasingly difficult but they might not be that up for it and it might just be our day.... Top 4 they'll need to win most their remaining games.

We will probably not end up to 5 or win the cup, but we're competing which is good considering where the club was.

Will we ever win anything?

If we do then so does everyone else. That doesn't look likely at the moment to me. So many teams are taking points off each other...

It's a clear exaggeration to be honest. If we actually won the rest of our games the lowest we could possibly finish is 3rd but we'd be almost certain to finish second (as we'd beat Arsenal) and have an outside chance of the title ( we'd get 86 points and Liverpool would need 33 points from their 15 games).

Realistically, we have nice home games remaining and if we win those and pick up 5+ points from our away games we'd have enough (70 points will be fine). We will drop points at home but we'll also pick up more points than that from our away games. People will panic as we've got tough away games coming up so we're likely to slip and then rise again due to the order we play the games in. No panic.

Most of them seem ok, just that Billy Bates guy was a total ****er, the other guys on there seem embarrassed by him. It was cos it was going into an argument and they wanted to stop it, they banned you cos he's a regular there.

Sour grapes
 
We're a little bit sensitive this season, as you can imagine with having to watch that shower of **** every game.

Solid enough win for you and hoping you carry on the good work and make the top four fight interesting. Was a bit gutted about that last offside, as it could have been a bit of a grandstand finish, but VAR is an arse, as we all know (even if both decisions were correct in the end).

You can't help but love Isak as a football fan either. Proper player. Lovely to watch.

Good luck for the rest of the season lads.

Same to you. Your lot certainly where not the worst team play us this season by a country mile. You were fine until we got the penalty. Then you switched off a little bit.

You probably will go down but you should be strong enough to bounce back up. The gulf in class between the PL and the championship is huge.

Yeah, there's no "probably" about it - we're down and have been for a long time. We do usually play pretty well until the opposition score, then panic and lose all sense of playing football. Been that way ever since Russell Martin destroyed the confidence of all the players.

We're all looking forward to next season - our owner has finally realised that the people running the club couldn't run a bath, so is in the process of becoming more hands on and replacing them (one of the people coming in, work permit dependent, is Johannes Spors who was rumoured to be going to your lot for a while). Suspect we'll have a fresh start on the management front next season as well, if we can prise Danny Rohl from Sheffield Wednesday.

Looking forward to lots of football, winning some games, and no VAR again.

Cheers LTL. :emoticon-0148-yes:

Can't be easy watching that week in, week out.

Hopefully you'll rebuild again in the summer and bounce back up.

Best of luck.
<cheers>
