May keep it down to 7 then.
At least we may get a point a piece against West Ham and Spurs now. <wah>

If Big Sam keeps you up you’ll avoid a relegation battle next season if he stays. I love the bloke, done a great job at Sunderland and we played good football under him too.

Still not sure how they progress from here. Man City, Man Utd and Liverpool are all better shouts for the top 4 than them (teams are as good or better and the managers are settled and very good). Us and Arsenal it's hard to say as with European football it could stifle both clubs and make it easier for others to get in. Then you have teams like Tottenham and Villa who will be hoping to improve in the Summer and come back for a run at top 4 too. Feels like Chelsea are investing a lot into a very uncertain level of return.

For us I know one thing, we need more players. We need to just cut up the contracts of some of the ones we have if we can't shift them and bring in some talented players.

We need a CB to help relieve Botman and Schar, we cannot have Lascelles back in. We need a CM to help cover those guys, if one of our CMs is out the entire thing falls apart. Maddison is my pick, perhaps Mount will be available for cheap too.

LB & RB too. Who takes over if Trippier is injured?

RW is needed, they're just not good enough for europe, simple as, Gordon isn't there yet.

LW needs cover, if Isak is in the middle or worse, injured, we have no one to cover.

Then we need a striker because Wilson will be 31 next year, we need a replacement.

I don't think Bielsa or Tuchel should have been sacked, both clubs now paying the consequences. I think Klopp should be sacked though, if only for the bantz.

As long as he is still being noticed that means we are relevant
Don’t want to get to the day when people aren’t talking about us

You said noticed, like Brighton have been "noticed" but that is in the full knowledge that Brighton are one bad manager away from a collapse. Brighton are like that team you pat on the head and say "oh wow, they play nice football."

When you're hated, that means you've overstayed your welcome and the top 6 are feeling their place is under threat.

From experience when you’re down fighting against relegation it’s best just to go down so you can rebuild and come back stronger. You’re only delaying the inevitable.

Forest, Southampton, Leicester, Everton, Leeds. The teams that stay up will only be doing the same next season. It’s best just to get it over and done with.

Is it even better to go down two divisions then?

I've seen three current Prem clubs that have done that, Wolves, Southampton and Leeds, I've not included Leicester because that was further back and my lot were in L2 when they came to L1.

Of the current Prem I have seen about seven of those teams pass into/through L1 or L2 during my time...

Brighton (they actually ground shared with us), Brentford, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Wolves, Leeds, Southampton. I've only included those seven, there might be another one or two, but the brain matter fades.

Seven of the current league one top ten are ex premier league, with only Ipswich looking like getting back into the championship.

Not sure this two divisions thing is such a great idea!

Wigan and Reading about to be down there too

No point in my lot coming to the Prem, if we were to do that, we needed to do it when Brighton redeveloped.

We have been on a run since Jan when the new American owner came in, so next season looks promising, worth a small bet if anyone is asking - we are managing to keep the main skeleton of the team together with new contracts, just waiting on one player now. Then whatever new players are bought/brought in during the summer.

In short I will be disappointed with what I've seen in growth, if we don't at the very least achieve play-offs next season, but the goal has to be autos, if we can bring in a couple of decent players.

Once they come down to us they get a culture shock lol. I've only seen one team bounce straight out with confidence, and that was Norwich City, which is not good by any stretch of the imagination.
