The Race for the Title, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or even 6th Thread.

We will finish 9th - same points as 10th placed Leeds. I hope some people now realise that the reason for the low block / counter attack style that got us to the top of the league in December was because that was the only way Jose could get this bunch to acquire the points needed. I guess too many players revolted / sulked and probably the board were split on it as well as the fans, so Jose had to compromise, and we saw how that panned out.

We was using the same style in pretty much every game we was losing or drawing under Jose too. If we were still top or at least in the top 4 playing that way Jose would still be in the job. The problem was playing that way and not picking up the points.

We're quite an optimistic bunch given that 64.8% of us thought that we'd finish top four.

I mean considering we were top of the league in December - I don't think it was that optimistic tbh.

It just goes to show how pathetic our form has been since the new year.

Close the thread. Burn it. Then burn it again to be sure.

Fuck that.

My 7th - 12th vote is the only thing I've got to be positive about.

Back to topic of thread: 9th is worst case; 6th is best case.

CORRECTION: 7th is worst case, then 9th, then 8th, with 6th as best case.

Although, I’d possibly level that at the players rather than Jose. There really was no legislating for some of the brilliantly laughable individual errors that cost us points this season. (Not to mention the huge number of times we have hit the woodwork.)

I think Jose had us sussed out. He called the players out. And I think on reflection it was probably right to do so on this occasion.

They are pony and they don’t want to fight or graft for it.

We will be in Europe again at 6pm tomorrow.

Yeah Jose was right about that.

Still, I don't think he is a coach who can develop a team and rebuild. I mean he signed 9 new players and did nothing with them.

On the bright side it’s the last day of this clusterfuck of a season today.

Another season wasted.

 

[Yiddo100]

May be unpopular opinion but I’d prefer for us to not be in the Europa Conference (West Ham will get at least a point so no Europa)
We’ll have the Kane money plus deadwood money, sissoko/winks and aurier ect. Trim the squad and let the manager have as much training time as possible for the season

 

[bubble07]

We need a new poll as to how we realistically want the season to play out

A. Europa Confernce
B. No Europa Confermece but arsenal finish above us

B

Still going with B eventhough we can choose to lose the qualifier to get into it?

 

[Zippy1980]

Just hope we avoid relegation

 

[talbot64]

We need to get European football, I know it’s a 3rd tier comp but if we are going to be signing multiple players we need matches for them to bed in

We don't need European football at any cost. I'd much rather a smaller squad for 1 season and no European football.

I created that last week, dunno what happened to it

 

[Athenspur]

I voted 7th-12th when the deluded were dreaming of a title, and I even posted "hopefully we'll finish closer to 7th than 12th" midway through the season. Well, almost nailed it. Saddest accurate prediction ever.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Looking forward to the Relegation Battle thread next season.

 

[1882andallthat]

Genuine question here - Could we still get Europa League if we finish 7th and Chelsea finish outside the top 4 and they beat City in the CL final ?
