Top six is our best hope for next season. And when we start building, and having to pay for that, Christ knows...
To clarify:
Chelsea go into the CL as winners, which is a place in the group stages.
City, United, Arsenal have all qualified for group stages.
Tottenham had qualified for a CL qualifier but since UEFA only allow four clubs from a country, we lose out.
Our qualifier place goes in the mix, I think it was Anderlecht that were going to benefit.
Rubbish, every chance of pushing for top three again. Apart from City and United, no one else looks guaranteed to finish top 4.
Maybe things might happen at Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Saudi Sportswashing Machine but right now we are as good as any of them.
And we can still sign a decent striker, just have to get the scouting right. Doesn't have to be a ?ú30m finished article, could have been Demba Ba last summer, for example.
Confirmation on OS. We enter group stage of Europa.
Personally I hope we play the reserves again as that tournament is an utter waste of space.
No. They go straight into the group stages and lose to Barca in the QF.
A total disgrace...
what do you expect ? we've just had the biggest kick in the gonads you are ever likely to get
