Quote from: Stu on February 23, 2026, 10:22:10 PMHope is a lie. I'm feeling gloomy too but doubt we'll be lower than 6th. No way in the world we win the Europa, things like that don't happen to us.
Hope is a lie.
If we fuck it up, we're scrapping round the back of the bins again in the summer to pick up some players, probably have to sell too. Will be a disaster and make it even more difficult (impossible) next season.Now or never to really kick on and give ourselves a good chance of cementing ourselves up there.I think we'll look back at this season as one where we either kicked on to the next level, or pretty much accept our place as trying to be the best of the rest. That's how important it is.

That's how important it is.A line from the commentator on Talksport after the game really summed it up for me. He said that the goal had come from their 3 big summer signings; £60m+ Cunha to £70m+ Mbuemo who squared it to £60m+ Sesko to score. £190m+ on 3 players and goodness knows how much on wages after finishing 15th in the league and not featuring in the Champions League.
