Can we break into the big 5?

Mourinho is the problem IMO mate.

I think at the moment you can buy a top seven place but top four requires a Manager worthy of the name. Game has changed, Jose has not. Would not swap him for Silva despite his record.

We could but not yet, not strong enough & need more quality players than we presently have....

Top 6 is a strong possibility this year but we need to strengthen also with a striker being a top priority...

Enjoying the football this year & Marco Silva is doing a great job but he needs more quality signings to continue this impressive progress...

When I look at it I keep thinking we would need probably 4 top players and for 2 teams in the usual top 6 of, man City, man utd, arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and spurs to have an off season. Man utd are already doing it.

I've got everything crossed that we smash them in the Derby and they go on an 18 game winless run. Then we will be in a great position for top 5

If we broke into the top 5 it would become the top 4 and Everton.

 

[MarcelsGoat]

Lads we have done utterly nothing for 30 years in the league, im not surprised we get bailed.

 

[Agent Blue]

We may have to contribute to the Referees Association annual jolly to even have a chance of top five......but this is football.

We should be competitive for it this year, Utd and Arsenal should be our targets, but would be very very lucky.

Two thing required, consistency in wins against teams below us and Vs results against the CL teams, draws a couple losses and an odd win.

Don’t think a CL place is on the table this year, we would be very lucky, we don’t have the squad to compete frankly.

Europa league would be a success this year.

We've been best of the rest for a while. I don't think we move up unless someone else slips up.

And it was so lovely just being sixth.

Depends where you look. On this BBC Sport article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46339216

There we be.

Was watching the Spurs game on Saturday night on BeIN (broadcaster in Middle East) and I swear the commentator referred to it as "the big 6 + Everton". Despite the fact that both us and United had played at 3pm and the table was clearly showing us above them.

ItZ a COnSpiRACy!

That would've looked so much better if Bournemouth had scored that last sec free kick. Shouldda loaned them Gylfi for a couple of hours.

Bless. They actually think a yo-yo club like theirs in the same bracket as us, because of capacity.

They sound like the kopites of London

Amazing how quick they are to now use the attendance. Lower than our for 100 years counts for nothing!?! Laughable.
