The season overall

[Skerra]

I’ve got an awful feeling that this season is as good as it gets. We are still nowhere near the spending power of teams like Liverpool. Straightaway, they are throwing millions into transfers whereas, I still feel we will be looking at bargain basement signings.
This season we had a couple of exceptional chances of winning a trophy but, ultimately blew it. Can’t see us getting such good draws in the cups next season.
To sum up, the other top clubs will be able to spend money like confetti whereas we’ll be looking over our shoulders at PSR. Nothing much changes really.

We did better the season before so how can this season be as good as it gets? Stop fretting.

[Skerra]

Because each season is going to be our season. By the law of averages, that should happen at some stage but, don’t hold your breath.

We had one exceptional chance of winning a trophy, the FA cup. The manager and players , did unbelievably well to get to the QFs of the champions and within one goal of PSG. You can’t mix up over achievement in the champions league with a missed opportunity.

No chance. We’re still very much operating with a large core of side bought by Smith who’ve adapted brilliantly under Emery. I think we’re still learning and evolving and we’re going to get better and finally win something.

I’m a believer mate.

[Skerra]

I’ve been a season ticket holder for more seasons I care to remember so, I’ve seen all the chat about next season will see us win a trophy. I don’t take much notice of that any more.
I’ll be the first on here to doff my cap to all the “believers” if we win anything next season or, the season after, come to that.

[Skerra]

Just to clarify, I’m not having a go at the owners or the manager. It’s just that whilst PSR is being used, in its current form, there’s no chance of clubs like ours being able to catch the Liverpool’s of this world. Just a fact sadly that needs sorting out sooner rather than later to make it a more level playing field

[LeonW]

I can kinda of get what you’re saying, Skerra. We’ve had a few glass ceiling moments. It burns you over time especially when you think that the most recent time is going to be different. Maybe it’s more late 1970’s era Saunders in fine tuning the squad rather than MON era. I honestly don’t know.

[ChicagoLion]

We didn’t quite have the squad to cope with CL and maintain top 4 position most of the season. We strengthened in January which got us CL QF FA Cup Semi and PL6th.
We might have peaked as no CL next season will mean we will have to make some sacrifices. I look back on some incredible memories and some huge disappointments.

We can’t keep blaming PSR for us not winning anything.

Crystal Palace / Newcastle will be just as hamstrung as us.

[Richard E]

Hopefully people realise that we don’t get a trophy for losing to the team that eventually wins a competition.

[Lucky Eddie]

Third season on the bounce with eight or more European matches to enjoy.

Enjoy it while you can.

Anybody disappointed with Europa league. Take your age, add 13 years and think about how old you'll be at that point and be thankful.

I agree. They had players who turned up for the big occasion.

One of the best nights of my life was Villa V Inter Milan in the UEFA Cup. I was 15 years old and it still makes me beam with joy now. We shouldn’t be sad to be in this competition.
