Spank West Ham on opening day and we will go from there.
DOUBLE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!Win the title and the Europa league
If we finish 6th everyone else, myself included, is gonna look and say "nothing changed". Fired two managers, hired a new manager, offloaded some junk, bought some talent, played some nice football, still finished 6th.... whoop dee fucking doo. If we play some damn good looking football this coming season, ok that's a change. Good. But then why would we finish 6th again...
This season it has to either be 5th or cracking the top 4. I get that these things take time with bringing in new talent and a new manager, but it's now or never. We played some absolute SHIT football this past season, got thrashed by every big club, fired two managers, bought more junk players than talented players, etc etc. We were a mess but still managed to finish 6th! In front of Manchester United who arguably weren't even as messy as us! If we can still finish 6th in the table even with last seasons circumstances, there's absolutely no excuse for us not being able to finish 5th, 4th, or at least coming scary-close to cracking the top 4.
I dont understand these threads...and maybe its the American in me, but shouldn't the expectation always be to win everything? All possible trophies and leagues?
If you fall short of those expectations, thats what it is, but to strive for anything other than absolute excellence seems like a waste of time and effort.
Top 6, solid cup run and not being bored to death by our football, also for our home game atmosphere to not resemble a morgue.
For the love of god let it go.My hope is we win a trophy. My expectation is we won't and we won't better Sherwood's ppg, and I'll be wondering if Tim was so dim, what does that make Poch?
Not that I think Poch is dim, but the Sherwood haters have set the bar very high, and fair's fair
Two positives = negative
Dont qualify for CL
