End Of The Challenge?

Chavs win and we're 7 behind. We're having a go at the Rags for top 4 so does it now apply in the same regard?

Yes, the writing has been on the wall for weeks. I'm still trying to get my head around how we are getting worse with time. Pep has some serious questions to answer.

It isn't over until it's over. We can still win it. Theoretically.

But we won't.

Title challenge? LOL

Right now I'm wondering how on earth will we be able to avoid the financial disaster that is not qualifying for the Champion's League.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

We are the new Arsenal.
Shit keeper. Loads of possession. No end product. League season all about talk of title challenge when in reality it's fight for top4 spot and then there's the focus on CL which we are nowhere near winning.

WOOHOO THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT.

Keep this up until 31 jan. If we are the same and our only transfer will be Jesus, then we really deserve this shit.

Arsenal and Liverpool will destroy us and we'll be out of top 4 by Dec guaranteed.

At the moment, just scraping our way to 40 points would now seem to be our main target.

I certainly don't think we need to worry about European football next season; we're following in Chelsea's footsteps from the last one.

Bit early for that.

But that first half was fucking diabolical

Serious question OD, what were your thoughts on Pep asserting that we were going to lose? I know we would but the way he harped on was just defeated. Every other manager would just have said 'We will carry on trying to win', but not Pep. It was as if he was trying to prove something, a reverse narcocist value.

We simply aren't good enough to challenge for top 4. It will take some fixing so just waiting for next season. Lots of players to ship out, including some recent buys. This will be difficult given the salaries they are in. This is going to take slot of patience

Problem ismthat no one decent will come with no Champion's League football next season.
