This is where I am. There's been a top 3 for a few seasons now and there's a block of clubs behind that. We are in that block. I think we are a good summer window away from separating ourselves from that block and getting much closer to the top 3. 71 points 60 points Hopefully 68-71 points this season With a great transfer window and a bit of luck, we can probably land in the 72-84 bracket next season. Probably not enough to win a league title, but maybe good enough for a bit of a challenge and to make CL qualification default. I feel like we need a season like that pretty soon or our best players should want to leave.

This is sad if true, that league used to boast the likes of R9, Crespo, Shevchenko, Seedorf, Adriano to name but a few. What a tragic falloff.

That West Ham games still irritates me whenever it comes up. They were awful at that point of the season and we rolled over. Losing to Brighton and Fulham is by the by, could happen to any team in the league, they are both very good.

Watched this dude for almost a decade in the Prem, he's not a good player. Congrats on whatever improvements he may be showing in Italy but let's relax on the revisionism. Not long before someone suggests we should sign Anthony.

Tbf all of the Play Off hopefuls have no form and are shite. They've got as good a chance of anyone in getting promoted. Whichever of the 4 come up though it's going to be a truely miserable season for them next season. Southampton were far better than all four of them.

Harsh on Butt.

I doubt it, mainly as I think its been mentioned that a lot of our business will have to be done after July 1st, when we'll be in a decent PSR position.

Was hoping we'd have all our business done by pre season and be ready to go but that's not happening is it?

But we didn't...

So it looks like its going to be something like: Celtic (A) - Middle of July Arsenal (N) - Singapore - July 27th Tottenham (N) - South Korea - Late July K-League Side (N) - South Korea - Early August Sela Weekender - 2x Back to Back games - 9th/10th August Very decent and competitive pre-season that.

Has a player ever had a more unwarranted tag of being a ‘bogeyman’ against us, than Danny Welbeck?

Probably, but still didn't want him after smith, butt, obertan etc

Money on a Danny Welbeck goal.

Madness

More of a PSR asset than a cast off in reality.

Yep. I guess a lot of titles are decided on the last day, which removes the opportunity, but I think you're right about titles that are won early.

The game straight after? That's good. From memory I don't think it happens as often as you would think.

Mbuemo/J.David/Sane Delap Andrey Santos/Ederson Hincapie/Huijsen Trafford

Good there’s no end of season round the world trip. What a farce that second game was last time, can’t think the players or Eddie were truly happy having to do it. Give them a break ffs.

Suggests we’re very comfortable with our financials

Man City 2 years ago.... Beat Chelsea after already winning the title.

Great news about no post season tour, that one in Australia was utterly pathetic. Give the lads a proper summer off, fresh and ready to win the league next season.

For me the 3x games a week is a lot mentally and adds up over time. Villa going back down to 1x a week should help them.

Was it Conte that turned Spinazzola into a wide forward? The way he played as a left back wasn’t far from a wide forward, mind.
