5-6 would be too many newcomers in my opinion. 3-4 in the summer and the option to add a couple more in January would be better for me. I think having a slightly smaller squad has helped us in the last few months because there's a togetherness and tactical/coaching focus that is getting the best out of the squad right now, i wouldn't want to disrupt that too much.

Totally agree, and this ties into what I was saying about being (bizarrely and illogically) worried that bringing new players will upset the apple cart.

We have 4 first teamers to come back into this squad too. Cash, Phil, Carlos and Bouba. The summer shopping is going to very much depend on Europe or no Europe.

This was my effort. Other than us, Liverpool really have got a piss easy run in.

Bloody hell, Risso! I think Seattle Villain has hacked your computer..13 goals scored and only 4 conceded on the next 7 games? The other thing of note is our final game of the season against Brighton at Villa Park will be interesting, winner goes into Europe. Tasty!

I think you're ignoring the domestics cups we're going to win. ;)

Something I read earlier, if we'd given every other team in the league a fourteen match head-start, we'd be twelfth at the moment.

I'd got it ending

1. Manc City
2. Arsenal

3. Manc Utd
4. Saudi Arabia
5. Liverpool
6. Spurs
7. Us
8. Brighton

9. Brentford
10. Fulham
11. Chelsea
12. Palace
13. Bournemouth
14. Wolves
15. WHam
16. Forest
17. Leicester
18. Leeds
19. Everton

20. Soton

But with the bolded ones so close it could be in any order (as I'd put every result in as 1-0 or 0-0, and there were a few that I thought could go either way).

I’ve just changed my ringtone to the champions league anthem, winding my mates up no end and making me giggle like a schoolgirl, in equal measures.

Just having any ringtone winds me up. Why do some people still let their phones blare out any old shit in public?

If it's not asking too much, I'd love to finish above Tottenham for once. Not finishing above bloody Tottenham since 08/09 is pretty embarrasing.

Fair play in this context, obviously!
