We’re getting 2nd lads

Well who knows, depends what other people do.

We just haven't been that side. We aren't that side. It's Chelsea and Forest that have been the poorest over the last 20 GW's or so and I think are most likely to have a twist go against them. Villa have been brilliant and have 2 of the best matches coming up. I expect Man U to win the Europa, so will have a hangover on the last day.... and they are shit. It's all coming up Villa.

Both of them going for Europe, honestly I think the most Spursy thing they could do is win those two games, but lose the cup final between.

Maybe focus on themselves, they have a massive game coming up and potential promotion.

I think we will. Hope I’m wrong. Even a draw doesn’t make much difference does it (?)

Good god, Chelsea were utter knobbers yesterday. Awful to watch them niggle away the whole game. Cucurella winds me up a treat, I have to keep calm when he is so close to me pitch side.

Yep. I've got no reason to think we won't beat 1 of Arsenal or Everton. We should win and qualify for the CL. And this is with a fair few injuries now. As you say, if we get CL, we could add 2-4 players to take us to another level. We'll have had 2 seasons on 69-71 points and another 60-point season. Add another 2-4 quality players and we could be a 75-85 point team or a 70-80 point team + a deep CL run. That's another level from where we are and I think it keeps the Tonali's and Isak's long-term where we can add more of them. Could we start doubling our Saudi-sponsorship deals? And it helps keep the Saudi's super engaged. If Villa gets CL, they can continue to wheel and deal and keep a similar squad level. If they can maintain this level of squad, they have the potential to be an 80-point side. That is why I hope they miss out and need a selling summer.

You assuming we lose to Arsenal?

You do know I want to be 100% wrong on this occasion Just feel there’s a big twist on that last day. Hopefully not detrimental to us 🤞🏻

Those two games being Villa away and Brighton at home…

Think we might have done it to Southampton in 2022/23 the last time we played Carabao Cup semi finals. H - 3-1 win A - 4-1 win LCH - 2-1 win LCA - 1-0 win

Maybe the RWB role gives him more space, time and in different areas to usual on the ball. Which allows him to get his passing sorted. Small sample size. But he looked so much more comfortable in possession from the off. One of our best players with his passing and through balls. Probably only Bruno did it better.

Scary good. Mown down all of the relegation fodder and generally held outfought and outthought our Top 6 peers. Now to solve the pesky south coast cuckold clubs problem for next year…

I said a few weeks ago that this side has never really let us down by bottling big games. They sometimes get beat but never through a lack of bollocks. Gonna be tough for other teams next year when we add 3/4 quality players.

Actually it's usually the opposite, but this board and fanbase in general i'd wager is still recovering from the Ashley era trauma Almost everything I see is thinking of the worst possible outcomes despite the fact the team seems to be quite fkn good. Idk i don't watch football anymore, i just read this board from time to time so it seems like they're good to me.

Awareness and delivery has seen a significant increase this season

Was funny how utterly unbothered he was in contrast

He spoke about his fitness regime in that the overlap interview you can watch it on YouTube i think. Nothing ground breaking what others have said he prefers to stay out of the gym.

Random players I think have done really well this season: Sels Aina VVD Gabriel Robinson/Hall Gravenberch Tonali Tielemans Salah/Mbeumo Isak/Wood/Wissa Rogers Lack of quality at LW these days. Once upon a time you had peak Sterling, Rashford, Mane etc.

Doesnt take much to stand out at teams battling with relegation.

GK: Raya RB: Munoz CB: Milenkovic CB: Saliba LB: Gvardiol CM: Tonali CM: Tielemans CM: Mac Allister RW: Salah ST: Isak LW: Eze

Obviously I don't agree on Fernandes being the best in the league but he's been superb. I'd have had MacAllister in but for VVD and Salah.

One of the lads I'm talking about in my post above left 5 minutes early.

Yeah, it was ridiculous. The noise on the early goal was similar to when Wilson scored the first goal post takeover. Lulled second half but there was still plenty of singing. Strawberry corner do a sterling job, can always hear them from my perch on the level seven balcony. Never used to hear “This club is my club” sang at SJP but hear it most games now.
