Just realised we hit 40 point mark yesterday! Another season of Premier League to look forward to!

Mate...I dunno how to say it, really, but...maybe it's time we stop thinking about that as our first aim of the season? I mean, if a season goes exceptionally bad and we find ourselves in March around the end of the table, ok, we will talk about avoiding relegation, but on a normal season like this one, it's a thought that we should never even enetertain. We should look above us, not below.

EDIT: Just realised you were probably talking in jest, so it's ok then ;)

KK referenced this yesterday, which made me smile as that was once a realistic target for the season

last time I pointed this out I thought it was a joke, but we went to sleep for the rest of that season (under Psycho I think)

Fucking hell it was close though wasn't it? All them draws I thought we were gonna go down :p.

Thanks Les!

Are you suggesting that because such a landmark was achieved so early in the season we should perhaps not have changed manager????


FFS - only joking

Those were the days eh. Thought I was going to die due to lack of stimulation.
And we never even got Mido.

The OP actually brought a smile to my face as i remembered all the years where reaching 40 points was themain aim of the season. To be doing it in January is fantastic in comparison to those barren years.

Think safety is going to be a lot less than 40 pts this season.

Top half finish is in sight.

Steady now.

Mid-table respectability is our next target.

That's where it always goes wrong. When people start dreaming big.

Very true. I always used to think if we now can get together a nice run of two/three wins in a row we'll be 9th/10th/11th etc.. And it always resulted in a defeat.
So let's just take a game at a time. ;o)
