The Holy Grail, last 8 in the ECL and 5th in the Prem will do for me.

That should get us into the ECL again if our coefficients improves.

That's a really shit Holy Grail. It'd be almost just, like, an old cup.

66 years and counting. The only one I haven't seen us win.

YET!

I genuinely misread you and thought you meant that last eight in the CL and fifth in the league was the 'Holy Grail'! Apologies.

Spurs and united winning today  is not helping. Im pretty sure both will finish above us the way we are playing.

As sure as you were about Spurs finishing above us last season?

We finished above them by 2 points.  Not exactly very convincing was it ? So i wasnt far off and last season we were playing alot better than this year. Sueely you can accept that?

You predict doom and gloom at every turn and whoever's finishing above us changes depending on who's scored most recently so your predictions mean zip.

Not really bothered or interested if you think "my predictions mean zip" to you i can make a prediction as positive or negative as i like. I am allowed to make a prediction and i think spurs and manure are likely to finosh above us if we sign no one in January

You need to accept that people are allowed to have differing opinions to you even if they are not positive. And your wrong by the way its not always doom and gloom - guess you missed all the posts after brentford
 Saints and Leizpig?

I can accept you were wrong, absolutely.

As usual avoid the question not suprising  a man scared to answer a simple question

I’m terrified, but I’ll answer your nonsensical questions now.

We convincingly finished above them by doing the only thing you need to finish above them, getting more points.

You were far off. You said they would finish above us, we finished above them. You couldn’t have been further off in that regard.

We were playing better last season. So were they. So what?

No need to cry about the question i posed to you it was a simple question all you had to do was simply  answer it . A fair question but because i asked you answer it is  now a "nonsensical question". Hilarous

So i was far off because i predicted spurs would finish above us we finished 4th and they finished 5th now thats far off?  😂😂😂 your making out as of spurs finished 19th. Goodness me

Now speaking  in your language  whats nonsensical your last sentence  you think its not important that we are not playing as good as last season? You cant see what the problem with that is? Really?

We are playing worse, have less points and lower in the table than this stage last season. Thats not negative  thats facts. I hope that answers your question.

How we're still sixth I'll never know. But we are and we need to take advantage of our good fortune immediately, or we'll be bottom half within a fortnight.

No worries SE
Easy mistake.

For fans of a certain age (like me) not winning it becomes more of a disappointment as each season ticks by.

It's just not a possibility in my mind. I can see us winning the CL, but not that one.

I still think top 8 as I have all season. It MAY be enough for Conference League but personally I'd rather miss out on that and rebuild in the summer.

It's such a shame that we are going to throw the FA Cup as that would have been our one chance at a successful season. Ah well.

8th place finish and a big summer clear out.

Champions League? Not a chance. Not a fucking hope hope in hell.

With all due respect, you've already said, mate. We remember.

Yeah, but we all enjoy being told a team currently in 6th has 'no chance' of finishing 5th several times, don't we?

I don't know, I don't like to get into arguments on here (which is why I haven't pointed out in off-topic that Lennon was way better than McCartney) but once you've read something 20 times it kind of feels like 'yeah, you already have enough to quote come May when, if we do finish 8th, you were shown to be correct. That's enough.'

A bit scary looking at the goal difference between us and Spurs already - they're better off by 18! Can't see us clawing that back, even with over half the games to play so we'll need to finish a point ahead of them (two ahead currently).

All I know is that whenever I have heard McCartney sing live over the last 20 years, I really, really want him to stop. I mean he died in a crash anyway, but this one, just retire please mate.
