A cup win and top 5, build in the summer and we can continue moving forward. I’m disappointed with how this is looking like ending up I still have some hope but I’m not going to be ashamed of the team or say they are bottles after another fantastic season It's not a question of being ashamed or anything like that. The fact of the matter is that we haven't been outside the top 3 until it really comes to matter and not for the first time.

We have just played poorly in key games once again Praet hasn’t done anything, Under was a flop, we’ve been plagued with injuries. The other sides have got million pound fire power to bring in which we don’t. I’ve said it, I’m gutted mate but what can you do 1
whoareyaaa Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 as great as it would be to play in the champions league its not the end of the world if we don't make it, we have just won the fa cup and had another top 5 finish. still think Villa or Palace will get something we just need to win 2

We've only got ourselves to blame but for them to do what they did, and get away scot-free, it's just all wrong. Would be funny if Chelsea and Liverpool celebrate finishing top 4 on Sunday and then on Monday UEFA reveal their punishment for the SL is a ban from the Champions League next season. Will never happen because these authorities have no backbone and are driven as much by money as the owners of these "big" SL clubs. 2

I doubt we will be shopping in the same market as Chelsea, Man City and the like because we have CL football. It would be nice and open the gap more to West Ham, arsenal, Everton but it isn’t everything.

I’m as gutted as anyone but it’s a simple fact of the matter. The way the ESL clubs have it set up they basically have their monopoly anyway. On that basis we will never qualify for CL. Last season and this season was the easiest to qualify. The big teams were average. At some point they will be strong again. Finishing in EL two seasons in a row is still more than OK. Let's see if we can consistently challenge for Top 6.
FoxesWalk Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 Liverpool have even more luck than we had at the start of the Chelsea game 1

Guest ttfn Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 A lot of white flag waving here, still 3 games to go after this one. We need 2 results to go our way, that’s it. And we have control over one of them.
Jakemoore Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 I think if we’re totally honest with ourselves, we’re not that bothered about missing out on CL football, as much as we’re worried that our best players could start leaving as a result of that… 2 1
oxtonfox Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 (edited) There's a strong taste of deja vu to last season. A sort of collapse over the line and falling short to the school bullies. You could write it to music of cavallero rusticano like raging bull Edited 19 May 2021 by oxtonfox
OntarioFox Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 I can't fault Burnley's effort here to be honest. They've been up for it. 3

It’s a matter of being really fvcking hard to do. Hence why it feels like a glorified closed shop.

CosbehFox Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 Also for me still blaming Aguero for being an utter ****

Popular Post Babylon Posted 19 May 2021 Popular Post Posted 19 May 2021 Finishing in the top four is VERY difficult, probably more difficult than ever because of the “top4” becoming a “big six”. These clubs overtaking us have far bigger and stronger squads. We’ve ****ed up against lower teams all season, just as we did against Saints and Newcastle. That’s the level we are at, Liverpool and Chelsea have just improved drastically and taken advantage of it. If they had their shit together from the start we wouldn’t have been in the top 4. It gutting then you’ve got so close twice, of course it is. But they gave us hope in the first place starting off so shit. I mean we are upset about the European Champions and Champions league finalists pipping is at the post!!! 15
Spudulike Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 I won't be thinking about missing out on the Champions League when our players do the end of season lap of honour on Sunday with the FA Cup. 2
Itsthejoeker Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 Some of you lot seem to just want some big sexy away days, we’d get humped as a bottom seeded team. One step at a time. 4
