6th is Europe then?

[Ihaters]

haha true....in fairness is one of those phrases used all the time, but rarely as it should be!

But your point seemed more we shouldn't go for the Europa or prioritise it, I've totally lost my place in the discussion anyways so you win! haha

Trying to fill out countless documents in spanish to start a new job. I just want a beer.

Probably a lot of the discussions on here are a bit pointless until we find out if it will be more of the same in the summer window or if our club will finally spend.

Its a forum... ALL the discussions are pointless

I don't want to get into the meaning of forum life haha

Your supposed to follow up in fairness...with something fair
I havn't been harping or banging on, i've only just joined the discussion.

Whenever someone leads with "In fairness" or "with all due respect", I expect what's coming next is anything but fair or respectful lol

Euros are great everyone uses them!

We're really not that short of numbers as it is, or have been in the past tbh so it's not like we need a massive number of players for EL anyway.

Being in it this year for eg. (Taking away the unlucky 3 long term injuries) would have ment ample more game time for the likes of.....Robles Hibbert stones alcaraz Oveido Gibson McGeady Delefoe kone jelavic Naismith + maybe some younger lads.

I think it's safe to say come summer, this squad needs needs a few additions anyway. I really don't see EL being to much of a strain on us (squad wise) more just the problems with playing Thurs/Sun giving less time to prepare for league matches.

A lot of the teams that struggle in EL are teams like swansea, Newcastle etc....teams that If being honest were lucky to be there in the first place and unlikely to be doing too well league or cup anyway.

I want Europe next season. This club and these players need it!!

The world class forward line up of United (Rooney, RVP, Mata) suggest to me that they will sneak 5th

I know Spurs have points on the board, but I dont see them picking up a lot from the remainder. Even when they dont play top sides they play other London teams in Derbies and some games away that look very tricky (Stoke, WBA). I can see them barely getting more than 10-12 more points.

agree, I reckon

Man U
us
Spurs

correct...which is Europe...which is good

 

[somefeller]

We'll finish 5th. United are having another false dawn, and after Sherwood's scathing interview today, I can realistically see Spurs going into free fall.

Chelsea
City
Kopites
Arsenal
Us
Spurs
United
Southampton

...hope this is correct. On paper though, they are a damn good team (particularly up front....and as we know all too well, it's all about putting the ball in the onion bag)

 

[ronnie38]

Wow Tim looks a broken man I think Spurs can be ruled out of 5th. Would love to be a fly on the wall when Levy next see's Tim

 

[toffeejack]

can't say spurs will go into freefall just based on that. squad harmony will be interesting though, they're obviously going to suffer a few bad results this month and will still be focused on europe, we must take advantage with 3 wins in a row
