So a win tomorrow will place us in 4th with exactly half the season played. Not all doom and gloom hey lads.
Unless we lose, then it will be the end of the world.

I don't see top 4 as progress this season. We have to start winning something.

I'm happy overall to be honest carra. I, like the majority was gutted about the past 2 results but this is football, it's not always fair lol let's bounce back with a dominant performance tomorrow! fingers crossed.

Do you not see maintaining top 4 for the second season in succession as progress? It's far harder to get top 4 when you are playing twice a week.
If we get top 4 again this season then we will again become stronger in the summer.
Qualifying for the champions league a few times in succession is the only way we will get back on the map to sign the players required to consistently push for titles/ trophies.
The last couple games have been a disappointment but the season as a whole so far is around the level of expectation. We cannot compare us or anyone to City as they have been unbelievable this season.

Getting into the top 4 consistently is key for me - we can’t progress until the team consistently plays in the CL and we haven’t had that for years. It also will improve visibility of the club globally, mean we’re in a position to challenge most years, and give the team confidence to go out an win a cup or two.

Usual stuff don’t pick up the wins against the bottom half clubs that the real big boys will pick up 99/ 100. Those results are why the likes of City and Chelsea win titles.

We can d both, Ron. However, judging from the fact that we have only been in the CL twice in 9 years, top 4 for a second season in a row is progress, no doubt. I love trophies too BUT if I had to pick between the top 4 and an FA Cup, I would pick top 4 if I can't have both for a second season in a row if I can't have both. Arsenal had the FA Cup instead of the CL last season and believe me, Wenger would gladly trade places with us. Consistent CL is progress for me as we continue to build. However, one game at a time and B'Mouth will NOT be easy.

I thought title challenge was the goal for this year?

Top 4 this year is much tougher than last year, so if we get there again, it definitely is progress . and as some of the posters have already said, being in the champions league year in year out is very good base for us.

I agree with Cara and grobs on this. What’s happened to the ever optimistic Ron Keague? I think considering it’s a big 6 instead of 4 these days and we’re in and out it’s a bit of progress getting top four two years on the bounce. Obvs I want us to win things but we still have a chance of the FA Cup and a fantasy champs league. It’s imperative that we finish top 4 with keita coming and to keeping hold of our better players. Just hope the weak spine gets sorted for a good go next season.
