yorkie1999 4,491 Posted 10 July 2020 Report Share Posted 10 July 2020 (edited) The whole system is corrupt, right from the top down to the refs and var. Mind, if we win all our remaining game, it won't matter anyway. Edited 10 July 2020 by yorkie1999 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They aren't box office I'd actually go as far to claim that your average footballing Joe in Spain, Serbia or Slovakia would be more interested in us than them. 6 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t care if some average Joe in Spain, Serbia or Slovakia is more interested in us than Man City. I do care about seeing Leicester in the Champions League - I’m pissed off at the fact that Man City can buy their way to success, be proven to cheat and just have it overturned because they have more money than anyone else. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mazarron fox 750 Posted 10 July 2020 Report Share Posted 10 July 2020 Ok we are 4th currently with 4 games left so it’s in our own hands. If we can’t do it then we are probably not good enough to be in it anyway. We have just fallen short probably of breaking this year into the top 4 , squad depth inexperience is going to cost us. We will still have some great away days hopefully in cities that are better than lots of you think . Enjoy shipmates if we are good enough we will beet Man Utd last day if we don’t we have to accept our cannon lacked a bit of powder. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So what we’ve learnt from this tribunal is we need to get either Kim Jong Un or Donald Trump on our side to have a chance of being able to compete with Manchester ****ing City.

Popular Post Matt 4,735 Posted 10 July 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 10 July 2020 (edited) If we can't qualify by making top 4 then we only have ourselves to blame anyway given where we were and the gap we had. We're quick to call other clubs bottlers, have a laugh and giggle but if we don't make top 4 we've bottled it and not been good enough simple. Money talks and Man City were always going to have it overturned but let's not beat around the bush our form since Christmas has been nothing short of undeserving European football anyway but if it softens the blow or people wanna bury their heads in the sand and look for something to blame other than ourselves for not getting that then knock yourselves out. It's in our hands however, the objective should have been to finish atleast 4th anyway, take the thought of a 'comfort blanket' of 5th out the equation, but hopefully confirmation of taking 5th of the table focuses some minds. Regardless of this being true or not these opinions remain the same, anything other than a top 4 place is a failure (Even if 5th place qualifies for CL) on our part is how I assess this season given where we were and the gap we had, certainly given our form and performances since Christmas.

Grebfromgrebland 2,145 Posted 10 July 2020 Report Share Posted 10 July 2020 I did used to feel that if we don't make top four it would be a big cock up by the team but when you look at the squads of Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal and the money thrown around by the likes of Everton who always seem to snaffle the players we are after. Having so many games in quick succession only highlights how poor our squad is. The fact that we held on to third for so long is nothing short of remarkable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Man City cheating has nothing to do with it. Well it does doesn’t it? Because if Man City hadn’t broken the rules who’s to say they’d be in the top 4? We’d not be qualifying on a technicality, we’d be qualifying based on being one of the 4 highest placed English teams who didn’t break Uefa’s rules. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
