I feel like we are fighting a two person war to keep all the heretics on here in line, at times.

We’ll be rewarded in the afterlife mate. Literal nothingness means nothing can go wrong.

I reckon, if we end the season with a solid 69, there will be satisfaction all round.

If we win and don't qualify, it'll be a hard one to swallow.

It'll be a massive blow if we don't do it.

This thread sucks. I'm just hoping Forest and Chelsea fuck each other.

I think the PL has been weaker this season than last, this does not undermine the impact that CL football has had on our league form.
We could and should have more point than we have right now though.
The league has been weaker due to how dire the bottom 3 are and the immense fall off of clubs like Spurz and ManUre

Countered by the improvement of Newcastle and Chelsea.
Arsenal and Citeh have gone backwards.
Overall i think the standard has gone down.
Liverpool won it at a canter.

It's more a case of the rest of the league improves each year imo. The PL is far far stronger than any other league. Look at ManU, as funny as it is if you stuck them in any other league there's no chance they'd be at the arse end. And it's why promoted side struggle more than ever, the PL is an obscene money machine that only a small number of clubs outside of it can compete with.

Yeah - Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham and Palace are the least "mid-table fodder" I can remember the PL having. They all have really good players and top-class managers.

Yep, and it's not even one of Liverpool's better teams of recent years

If we don't get champions league there is some level of consolation in being in the europa league and reinforcing our place as a top six club. Seventh place would be disappointing though.

'tanian has probably crunched the numbers on this - are we more likely to finish 6th or 7th tomorrow?
