Removed the tweet when I realised it's just for followers, haha.. Don't want to help him out. Seems like he has been saying it will happen this week etc. Clearly not ITK.

Stabæk was 4-0 up against Egersund in the 62nd minute, and lost 4-5. Second tier in Norway.

Can't wait for the Longstaff, Burn, Murphy, Krafth and Barnes tiki taka masterclass.

Judging by the fourfourtwo video on Chelsea, de Zerbi seems in line with how the owners want Chelsea to play. I actually think Spurs are on the up, if they can sign good players for the playstyle that Ange is trying to implement.

I can't find the video predictions that I watched, but maybe I remembered it wrong. Thinking about it, I probably did, because Spurs were not exactly getting hyped up before the season due to how they ended last season.

Yeah, I won't get all that hyped up about our league performances next season before it even starts, just because of this. 3 out of 27 is way less than I thought tbh, but I don't think many from BBC would put us in the top 4 next season either.

If you look at peoples expectations before last season, many people had Chelsea in the top 4 due to no Europe. Some people had you in top 4 due to no Europe. I'm sure that if you read through the Chelsea forum from last summer, they were going on about how no Europe will help them massively, and that they will now become a real threat to the top teams. Kind of like what we are doing now. When it comes to Villa, their squad didn't seem deep enough at all either, and they were having some issues with fatigue for brief periods of the season. However, they still got top 4 in the end, so it's doable. Ofcourse, chances are probably higher without Europe, but are they really that much higher without the Conference League?

When I say "didn't work", I mean not getting CL, or top 4. As I said in my post, it helped both teams, but neither of them had a really good season despite not being in Europe. My point is just because we don't have Europe doesn't mean that we will compete for top 4, it's far from a given that it leads to a great season. Tottenham and Chelsea happened to be recent examples of that. The Conference League would also be one to rotate in, so likewise Villa made top 4 while playing in the Conference League, finishing above both Chelsea and Tottenham (despite having a seemingly weaker squad). I also don't think that tournament would have a massive impact on our league position, unless we wouldn't have rotated enough.

I don't believe any of it until it actually happens.

They're already kicked out. They will play conference.

God! We should finish 8th every season until we're ready to win the league.

Not necessarily true, it helps with the league, but it still didn't work for Chelsea and Spurs.

When we got 7th it was "probably for the best" since we've got a much higher chance of winning the Conference. Now it's a shit tournament and we may be better off without. Moral of the story: Europe is kinda useless unless it's CL? Why are we trying to turn every scenario into a positive one?

Usually I would say that we've got ourselves to blame, but 60 points and +23 GD is usually more than enoigh for top 7. Even top 6 in a lot of seasons. Not getting Europe of any form with +23 is a record that will not get beaten in a very very long time.

We really got a +23 goal difference without even making conference league.. That's wild.

Put him in a different team, and he will look better. His pace gets nullified in these scenarios.

Waiting for the counter 3-0..

Goldbridge probably already trying to come up with new curse words for his rage speech for when they turn it around.

That's what I've been saying many times. He hasn't been himself after the injury at all. Older players suffer more from it. We just gave him too much space.

City been drinking all week?

Yeah, I think they're just judging him based on that one game..

They forgot about that after the game, and never saw Havertz as a cunt at all. No bias going on there.

Until Dovbyk scored 3 more and Sørloth went out after 17 min..

That's just because he was pretty agrressive against them. Remember the challenge on Jorginho, and a couple of others. Arsenal fans were whining about how he should've recieved 2 or even 3 yellows.
