Inspired me to look at SHA. Man LSD looks tempting the colours they must be seeing as they post that shite.

I am at a loss as to how a stadium, if ever built, that they will never fill, is some sort of pancea for domination. This new side to the Noses has all the limited hubris of the Yam Yams when the Albion "knew what they bin" and the Wolves "Real Madrid are our new rivals", but with a signficant exception. The Albion did actually finish in the top half of the Premier League, the Wolves were 7th and in Europe. These are back exactly where they started 3 years ago, dwarfed by the income of relegated sides and somehow they're on the cusp of something something/details details...glory!

They've always been weird.

And they'll be watching us on a Tuesday/Wednesday night, because as we all know they're fucking shite.

If we finish 5th, do we have to go through a qualifying round to get into the group stage of the CL?

And if we do, when would that be? Obviously it better to not have that jeopardy or the disruption to pre-season preparations, particularly when many of players will have time off after the World Cup. UTV

No. All English teams straight into League stage.
Bostin! :D

Massive credit to emery the coaching staff and the players. When the window shut in the summer i looked at the squsd and thought midtable at best and maybe  a goid run in europa. But boy has unai has massively  exceeded that.

But we need to also be realistic- big changes from the playing personnel  is needed in the summer. The squad is ageing and a lot of the players here need to be moved on
 
We need to be far better this summer than last season where we had a poor window. Olabe and unai really need to find some real quality to bring  in to keep ip the  momentum

Yes Blues fans its that easy. Even if you build the stadium what manager is gonna achieve this for you?

It’s the Manager
It’s the players
It’s the owners
It’s the right commercial team
It’s the right sponsors
It’s the stadium
Etc etc etc

Get all that right and coming from where they are you’re talking a minimum of 10 years to get even remotely close to being in the top 6 of the championship, let alone winning a trophy or consistently qualifying for the Champions League. Building a stadium won’t do it you have to have every other bit right as well.

There is a seperate thread to discuss the rags.

It’s such a shame to taint this thread about our qualification for the CL AGAIN, with discussions about them.
They are fucking irrelevant to us.
