Back in 2012 I had a weekend in Barcelona and saw them play Sociedad (for the sole reason of seeing Messi live), they only won 2-1, Messi was tepid, he only scored 1 of them, I was livid! :eriksenlol: Wouldn't mind seeing him again too.Barcelona is all I want. I want to see Messi in the flesh.
Mate FFS, give it a fucking rest will ya!I hope we do not turn into a club who sees qualification for the Champions League each season as the height of achievement.
Fantsstic that it is we must also look at winning a trophy and that means bulking the squad with greater quality and Pochettino not talking of priorities as opposed to expecting to win every single game we play.
Really cannot understand this attitude. We want to progress like Liverpool and get the hard teams like Madrid in the latter stages. Hard groups take so much energy that it diminishes our league results. It is no coincidence that we only get going after the group stages in the league and are always playing catch up. Pot 1 is Champions and will be difficult but let the other 2 teams be easier (no easy teams).Third time in a row.
I'm looking forward to another tough draw which seems to get the best out of us. Historic European games in our brand new stadium.

I get what you are saying but we should have learnt from that. We were 6th in the league 7 points behind Chelsea when we completed the group stage and had to play catch up. An easier draw and we might not have had the melt down this week as we would have secured top 4 earlier.it's just because we've seen that we fail to turn up against the shit teams in Europe. Our first year in the CL we had the toughest draw possible, but came through and reached the quarters.
the second time we qualified we had shit teams in our draw and we fucked it up, didn't even get out our group.
and this season we had another tough draw and finished top of the group, later knocked out by last season's finalists in a very close result.
If our players turned up against the shit teams then of course I'd like an easier draw like Liverpool got this season.

The flip side of this is would you swap that feeling the night we smashed RM at Wembley for an earlier top 4 berth? Because I wouldn’t. That’s a fabulous memory I will take to my grave. Wembley was bouncing. Pure energy.I get what you are saying but we should have learnt from that.

And securing top 4, having seen the chavs get their hopes up (& very chippy with it) only to see them crushed with a game to go is another deeply saitsifying feeling. They even bottled it at home to ‘Uddersfield.
Overall, it’s been a brilliant season and I wouldn’t change it to have finished top 4 sooner.
