One of the reasons I'm starting to catostrophise about the whole thing is that when we've got close in the past it's always still seemed like a long shot, whereas this time we've been up there all season and it will feel like a real choke if we don't do it from here. I just hope it gets sorted this week as another week will be too much stress.
Out of character for me but can we stop being Fannies and get some positive thoughts going please. Stop waiting for shit to happen

I just hope it gets sorted this week as another week will be too much stress.I think part of the reason for the catastrophising is that, for much of this season, we've been absolutely brilliant and now we're tired and injury ridden, we're way less impressive, which is kind of inevitable.I am watching Man U - Arsenal at the moment, and just found myself thinking, fuck, we beat this Arsenal team TWICE. We beat Man City and them in the space of less than a week. We had 22 shots against Man City, and they had 2, both of which came in the same action.That's how good we were for large parts of the season, so it's tough seeing us struggling at the arse end of it, and it becomes much more tempting to think we're going to shit it away.
There is an incentive here, and the process has caused some suffering for both players and us the supporters and fans. But pain usually comes before glory and sucess. That is how it works. Particularly when progressing. You can't just saunter into the top four, we have to work our way there over 38 matches. It actually helps now to have a sole concentration on the Champions League objective and Emery and his players understand what they need to do to achieve. Working harder and smarter than Liverpool and Palace, who have less incentive, is now dependent on the players' motivation. The reward for the players is the opportunity to participate in the Champions League, which is a powerful motivator for any professional footballer in Europe.
As the stakes are raised, every pass, every tackle, and every shot becomes a testament to their unwavering commitment. The roar of the crowd, the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat all blend together in a high-stakes drama that pushes them to reach new heights. With each hurdle cleared, confidence grows, and the team's collective spirit becomes an unstoppable force, propelling them towards the ultimate prize.
It's disheartening to see the level of bad language and rude jokes being used in this forum. It creates a negative and hostile environment for everyone involved. We should strive to have respectful and constructive discussions that focus on sharing knowledge and learning from each other, rather than resorting to offensive language and distasteful jokes. Let's all make an effort to maintain a level of maturity and professionalism in our interactions.
Ha ha what on earth are you lot on about
