hahahaha 4th. i like your optimism but you're an ostrich if you think that's an actual possibility. most likely going to lose mahrez, also going to be very hard keeping hold of maguire. can't just assume we're going to be able to replace them. could easily wind up pissing 20/30 mil up the wall like we did with slimani and musa.
bearing in mind all of the current top 6 will likely go spending crazy like they always do, which will add further distance between us. add to that everton surely won't be so rubbish next season, they'll be odds on to finish ahead of us. it'd also be deluded to think we're definitely going to finish ahead of west ham and newcastle next season. most likely outcome next season is mid-table mediocrity again, which is fine for KP as they can reap the financial rewards, not particularly thrilling for the fans though, especially when we continue to not take the cups seriously.
the best chance we'll ever have of getting in the champions league again would be to win the europa league, but apparently it's better to have thursday nights off and start in early august instead of mid july. not to mention the potentially brilliant nights we could have in the europa.
