Whether you like him or hate him, Mark Goldbridge has a good point, we're getting nowhere near the exposure or praise that we should be.

While it's a bit annoying, you think does it matter really though?

Then I think about commercial revenue and sponsorship. The coverage we deserve could boost potential suitors into the next level. Bloody match of the day are one who have criminally downplayed it.

Funny, we probably bumped into who stole the shirt. We were waiting near the tunnel after nearly everybody had left. This strange lad wanders over and he's got something under his replica home shirt. He had bits of white at the sides of his mouth and I wasn't sure if he was drunk, off his head or a bit strange. Probably a combination.

We looked at him with a bit of puzzlement and he said it was a shirt under his top. Obviously a bit shifty but of course we didn't know the story of the grandson having a shirt nicked. Makes sense now.

Hope O'Nien is told and they can sort something for the poor lad.

Folk already saying we'll be in a relegation fight next season due to Europe and 2nd season syndrome. Possibly, but i dont care. This is the greatest thing this club has did in my lifetime. Yes, we could have maybe sneaked an FA Cup or League Cup win at some point. Have a bit of silverware. But i would argue that getting into Europe, over a 38 game season, in the Premier League, for a club like ours, that is a bigger achievement than fluking a cup win.

I'll have to disagree with that one mate and I think our owner, head coach and captain will too.

Yes, it's a massive achievement, but as Xhaka said yesterday "this is just the beginning". We have to prioritise the Premier League. KLD has said he wants to create a club that finishes top ten every season and who are we to disbelieve him?

As a result of European qualification, I expect 3 more coming in on top of the 3-4 RLB talked about. This will allow us to significantly strengthen the squad and allow us to rotate during European weeks. This current squad have been in the top ten for the best part of the season. We already have the base. Now we need to add to it.

Like last season, we have to be ruthless with who we say goodbye to. This will generate a fair few millions and our PSR position is very healthy.

To anyone wanting to buy any our regular players, these are Europa League standard players and above, and the price has just gone up by £20 million!

Amazing season above and beyond anyone's expectations.

Firstly, hats off to the Chairman, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, his vision, his plan, his faith in SAFC.

Régis Le Bris, wow, he's performed miracles at this club.

The recruitment team, no one had heard of most of the players that were brought in, but most would get into most premier League sides.

The players, Xhaka, Roofes, Brobbey, Sadiki, Alderete, Mukiele, Le Fe, Rienildo, Angulo, Talbi all committed to the club, along with Ballard, O'nien, Rigg, Hume, Cirkin and Isador from last season.

A team, a squad, a club, a community, a city.

Haway the lads.

I'm such a proud Makem right now.

Big words from Granit from the day he signed.

He’s been sold a vision and KLD won’t fail to deliver that to him, or try to.

Was a great embrace between captain and owner on the pitch at the end that stunk of mutual respect and appreciation.

We aren’t here to have one season, they want to build it high and handsome.

If we finish 13th and win Europa so be it <laugh>
