You just have to love being in European competitions.

If we had Drawn Chelsea instead of Barcelona our route to winning the CL could have been

Chelsea

Spurs

Arsenal

Liverpool/Manchester City

What's the difference
 
But Villa have the 7th highest wage bill so are only punching by 4 places, which is what Howe did. Add in they’re never in the UCL and you can see how they can do it. Not being in the UCL meant we could qualify twice. As soon as we’re in it, we’re nowhere. Villa will find that out next season, whereas we’ll be top 4 this time in a year. At some point Villa and Newcastle will nestle into a new order, which is good, and if the City rumours are true - 40 pt deduction, Pep leaving and Maresca coming in to the Championship - there’s another seat at the table.
Please tell me you’re not as ****ing thick as that?
 
Don't really care about the position, it's point adrift that's key, ie 7 points off 7th with 10 games to go is not good at all. 7th was in sight a few weeks ago, but not looking easy right now.
 
We need West ham and forest to find a big result over the next week or two
Spurs are playing Forrest in a few weeks, who generally look better than them, that match could drop Spurs right in the ****. Assuming they lose this today, that'll be 4 points from the last 30 available in the league.
 
How the **** is that a penalty to Man U?! Absolutely scandalous, the corruption in this league isn’t even being hidden any more.

Unfortunately Man United are back this time.... They'll go balls deep in the summer because they can and they'll not fall away either.

They can and do go balls deep every window mate. Last summer has absolutely ****ed us.

I think I agree mate and I don't think next season is likely to be much better either because it'll be the same people making the decisions.

Watching quite a few sides at the moment and literally every side I watch has better players starting to come through nicely... Meanwhile I see the toon and the continuing reliance on same underbelly of dross.
 
All the managers talking about how they hate set pieces
they'll love Eddie Howe then lol.
