The glorious march to CL qualification

[NaijaSpurs]

Additionally I’d rather come a place below them and pick up the Europa any day of the week than come 4th and win nothing.

Where we are in our development I think it is important that we make CL.

I remember the last time we won the League Cup, at the end of the season or first choice strike force of Keane and Berbatov both decided to seek greener pastures to play CL

Don't forget where they were in April. Bottlers!

They had just beaten Saudi Sportswashing Machine 2-0 to go above us.
How can we not hate this lot more than any other team out there!

This should/will be 4 consecutive top 4 finishes...pretty darn amazing given the stadium/training ground investment

Marvel at the sheer eloquence of this Arse fan and try not to giggle

He’s fcuking not fcuking happy.

 

[NaijaSpurs]

He’s a kid, he’ll improve.

He may well improve but he is consistently proving he currently does not have what it takes to play as a centre back in a back 4 at the moment

 

[wiziwig]

I've looked through the past ten seasons or so previously, and think the maxinum losses were 10 for a top four spot. So the answer is probably no.

Same here ...We've smashed it!

Lacazette and Aubameyang won’t move, it’s all downhill and lower wages from here on in, they are both brick.

Ozil is the one that they desperately need to move on but cannot afford to.

I think that they've had a good season.

If, like us, their season bad runs had come at different times, then yes. But they are on a 1 point from 12 run and were 2 ahead of us a while ago.

But for a first season after a tenure like Winger with a rebuild in progress its good. For a loan of worthless scum.

 

[NaijaSpurs]

Yeah, he needs to be 4th choice CB again next season - play him in all domestic cup games and selected other lower risk games. Aim to get him 20-odd games next season. He needs time to mature and learn when to dive in and when not to

Personally I would rather he be groomed as a defensive midfielder

Not the way our back 4 has played lately, but our defence has been so bad this season Ledders would have struggled.

I disagree, I think that he's looked very promising. I'd have no qualms about going into next season with him as our third/fourth choice CB.

How’s everyone’s St Arseholes day going?

 

[Mosquito_Coasting]

Good!

 

[Hashegotthesackyet?]

Oh what a night.....

 

[Baleforce]

How’s everyone’s St Arseholes day going?

Still pencilled in on my calendar, for next weekend

He is not ready at the moment in my opinion, he is too rash in the tackle, and I would suggest his over confidence is his biggest flaw

That can be fixed, lack of confidence would be a bigger issue.

That was my thinking

I completely agree and have made the same argument re Betbs and Keane, but as CL comes with the Europa it would feel like a superior season. I understand why others feel differently but I wouldn’t take an FA cup over 4th although that could change if I thought a one off season out to of the CL wouldn’t have a big impact on us in the longer term.
