Just to let everyone know, we are a work in progress under AVB and won't be winning the Premier League or every single match this season- incase people thought we may be going to ;)

COYS.

It's this kind of lack of ambition that troubles me....when I'm paying attention that is. Mostly. What day is it?

If we aren't going to win every game I'm off, my support is highly conditional! <STORMS OFF IN HUFF>

Agree with the premise that we should be fully prepared to see this as a transition season.

At half time in the west brom game i remember saying to a mate that we were playing well, showing good signs and that even if we don't win the match, we shouldn't be too disheartened.
I gotta say i love the pressing off the ball. The amount we would win it off them in their half was a joy.

I thought it was even better in the first half at St James's - just have to ge the players fit enough and concentrated enough to keep it up for the 90.

Top 4 is a must, Harry did it in his first full season, if AVB can't then that will be a step back

Why? he have a squad that has got us 4th twice in the last 3 years and 5th. I understand we've lost Modric but we should still be capable of finishing where we did last season

Capable? maybe

The division is a bit stronger than it has been over the past few years though.

this needs to be respected.

I fully respect it will be tough but he have all our main stars in Bale, VDV, Ade, Parker, Walker etc etc so we have a squad which is very capable.

I would be disappointed if the board threw away all the progress this club has made over the last 3 seasons and "allow" us to have a poor season and finish way below where we have in the last couple of years.

We must finish 4th or 5th, or the club simply isn't progressing

Would you not agree that the harry curve was on the way down?

No, I felt on last season (yes we bottled it) but we played the best football around and we were within 90 minutes of 3rd place. We had always improved under Harry apart from the season we came 5th but got to the CL quarter finals
