    At the time of Tom's posting that was the case, however we gave Forest 6 points and took 6 points of off the Foxes it made all of the difference.

    It’s fair enough that he gets some credit when he gets one right. The fact it’s 1/1789 so far is irrelevant

    tbf, Tom was right - we were safe in September. It's just the last few (lots of?) games that sealed our fate. Probably.

    Brighton finished this season on 62 pts. Under Koeman we finished on 63 and then 60.

    Having personally been so bloody impressed by Brighton this season, it really puts into perspective how f*cking incredible we must have been under Koeman. I mean, I know we were good, I just didn't realise we were that good.

    We were unbelievable. I really think if we had splashed like 15-20 mil in January on an extra attacking player we would have been top four

    Especially when you think we went on a run of 12 games without a win (or whatever the exact stat was)

    Unbelievable side that was. Truly, truly magical watching that side.

    Yes! Probably the biggest regret I have from this era.

    The other side of the coin is someone like Spurs who everyone seems to think have had an awful season and “can’t get any worse” only finished 2 points behind Brighton

    I know it’s all relative and expectations of the clubs are different etc but it really does highlight just how hard it is for a team to break into that top bracket consistently

    Any club not one of the big six is only three or four transfer windows from relegation - just look at Leicester, Winning the league, champions league football, top 5 & still relegated just a couple of years later. The fact that we stayed up as long as we did is a small miracle in itself.

    I quite like Ange, so I wouldn't mind seeing him do well there. Quite a lot of crap to sort out though, I think.

    He's certainly a step away from the trendy young manager model and isn't the high stature type of coach Levy has chased in recent years.

    Definitely lots of work to do, especially if Kane goes (which he will IMO) deserves a chance, but if he doesn’t hit the ground running ……but how fickle will spurs fans and Levy be.

    Blimey, they'll do well this season. They've got the right attitude to succeed.

    It is very early, although Burnley’s last game was 4 weeks ago so they have had an ok break.

    Time flies.

    I'm surprised they didn't go for a certain manager who is up there with the best tactically.
