Champions League Contention

Normal protocol is to wait until the individual is deceased before the post mortem is carried out.

The inference being that I've criticised the feeling of disappointment, that we shouldn't be concerned. I've said nothing of the sort.

What I have said is that each defeat is disaster in a way that each victory is not a triumph. We face adversity with McGinn out, with Kamara and so on. It's happened, we cannot fight it or change it- but we can decide how we deal with it. The greater the challenge, the greater the glory. Smile, its later than you think.

Well, there was a post there to respond to once upon a time.

24.2 awaits me and my own quest for glory, however small.

How did you get on with 24.1?

10:20. Did it with a cold so snot flying everywhere and made my lungs bleed, which is always fun. Lost half a stone and only trained twice in 13 days so 24.2 was the first thing I did since last Tuesday and after Amsterdam...not ideal. I hope there's some muscle ups and 100kg cleans in 24.3, but I suspect it will be more fitness/accessible bollocks.

If you listen carefully, you can hear me playing the worlds smallest violin.

I have to admit not doing any of the opens for a couple of years. I’ve owned two CrossFit Boxes and losing the last one down to Covid after spending so much money broke me. Good luck with 24.2 🙌🏼

Thanks fella. Did it this evening and a bit irritated with my score; 635 so proper middling. In the top 25%, just, but I can't see me doing the Quarter Finals being this low down in the qualifying bracket.

Sorry to hear about your Box- which ones did you own?

[Forge10]

Great Stuff. I owned CrossFit Kidderminster, then we opened a bigger one just up the road. Had a great 8000 sq ft space, loads of equipment and even had a decent indoor track courtesy of Wyre Forest DC. Then Covid the utter bastard took it away…… I appreciate a lot of people lost their lives though so I lost very little in comparison.🙏🏼

Still a big loss, sorry to hear about it. A lot of time goes into creating the community as much as anything, which is a big part of why we do something that's 90% pain and 10% a lot of pain ha!

We only miss McGinn for 2 competitive games where we have a chance of getting points. Man City is an annual write off for everybody but Liverpool.

Of the three teams who've beat them at their ground the last three seasons, none of them are Liverpool (Brentford, Palace, Spurs).

Those are just the losses. Others have got draws too. Southampton (relegated), Everton (nearly relegated), Palace (could be relegated) and Chelsea.

We are better than these shit teams so shouldn't be looking at it as a write-off.

Am I allowed to post our League record there since they moved from Maine Road? Suffice it to say Ads is absolutely right to say it’s a write off.

No you are not allowed because Ads said its a write-off for everybody but Liverpool when the past three season would say that it isn't.

Maybe for us it has been but if we go into it thinking that then it's no surprise we get nothing.

We can beat them at their ground. Even Gerrard almost did it.

We have totally fucked it now.

We are ten matches from the end of the season and will be playing 30% of those matches without our captain, who plays in a part of the field where we are already decimated.

Not only that, we are playing badly and have been for ages now, just putting in the odd good 45 minutes here and there. Even when we manage a good half we then keep on having an absolute stinker of a second.

We are absolutely fuxked with injuries and have a difficult run in. The next three matches are all tricky, and I can honestly see us losing them all.

I think we will finish sixth, which will be fucking devastating after the expectation of the first two thirds of the season.

Genuinely woke up this morning feeling exactly like I did after that Stoke match, that is how bad this is. Gifting three points to our closest rivals on our own ground and throwing in an eight GD swing.

Fucking hell, I hate football.

Beat Ajax on Thursday and we will be all be full of optimism again on Sunday for West Ham. Yes that's the same West Ham who lost to Freiburg midweek and took an injury time Danny Ings goal to draw at home with Burnley at the weekend. Despite winning the ECL last season their supporters want their coach fired yesterday.

It might only take a good 45mins to win some of our remaining games. Some midtable teams and players start planning their summer holidays around now, especially with an international tournament this summer. We still have loads to play for, starting on Thursday.

Spurs will get 4th now, they have four nailed on wins to come and it’s hard to see them not picking up at least another couple more. Losing Bouba killed us unfortunately.

The only way I see us getting in the champions league would be to lose to Ajax, pull ourselves together enough to hold off Man Utd for 5th and then hope Man City and Liverpool win in Europe. Maybe that would be enough to get the extra place?
