How mad would it be if after those years of getting so disgustingly close to CL qualification when Lerner first arrived, that we get it this year out of kowhere when none of us even dreamt of it?

Top 6 is still on regardless.

Beat Forest and we can catch whoever loses Spurs-Brighton. Still have to play both at VP in the run in.

Freiburg have knocked out Bayern to reach the German Cup semis.

In between Strasbourg and Basel, to the east of the Rhine.

Beautiful city.

Let's say we do get top 6, does that mean we are Big 6?

Not unless we change our postcode.

Given our start to the season, finishing seventh and getting even a Conference League spot would be a remarkable achievement. Europa League qualification would be close to miraculous. Ending the season in the top four/Champions League places is just so unlikely it would actually be a miracle.

Agree, its an amazing turnaround. I worry that our squad is a little bit thin to sustain this form, at 1 1 before the sending off we looked a bit flat against Leicester. But every win the excitement grows.
I said before Chelsea  if we win the next 4 I will start to believe , 2 down.

Champions League would require not only us to sustain this form until the end of the season, but also a big drop off for all of Newcastle, Man U and Brighton, which I can't see happening. I'm just enjoying the fact that as it stands, every remaining game is potentially important, both for potentially helping to send our grossly inferior Midlands cousins down (Forest and Dogheads) or staying ahead of/catching those teams around us.

I'm just enjoying that I could go to the pub with my Man United supporting friend yesterday and know that we were relevant to his club. That's where we should be.

We're always relevant, and we were winning the top trophies before they were even a glint in the milkman's eye.

Fucking hell mate, that's horrendous.
Jesus fucking wept.
Sorry mate but it doesn’t surprise me.
Didn't bother me that much really on the night, my thoughts wes fuck em. But thinking about it a few weeks later you lose all respect  for their right to be called a civilised society.
