All the other top 6 big clubs have missed out on CL and it looks like we will do so this year. However whatever you think about the Europa league it allows the squad to be utilised rather than just playing the same 11 every Saturday and no midweek games. I think we can still end up top 6 but it will not be straight forward. Away to MU and Spammers has resulted in defeats in recent years and are not easy fixtures. I do think we will start to improve but it will not result in a winning run of 6 games.

5 wins and a draw against the Manc scabs.
When was the last time we lost six in a row? do you even know? .... It's easy to be negative especially when you just make stuff up ... we might not be playing well but losing six in a row?

We should aim for 6 wins. Anything other than that will be a disappointment. Spam and United away, we need to come out of the traps like a starving, wounded animal - and annihilate the fuckers. We have the quality. It’s the mentality that will define our success.
Nope we won six in a row just a few months back ... so that's very realistic ... as I said when did we last lose six in a row? do you even know?
I made a statement, you wanted to argue by creating an unrealistic alternative ... quit the negativity and we will all feel better for it
So saying I think we will win four games and draw one out of six is being negative, yeah right.
You were saying the Poch outs would still be moaning if we won all six and I'm simply saying the Poch ins would be equally as vociferous if the opposite happened.
Chill.
If you don't know that's very worrying ... knowing our results is pretty basic for any fan.
So your answer is ? (I'm more a supporter than a statistician)
Here's a clue it started with West Mam .... now go look it up, and whilst you're at it give me those six loses in a row ... if you're capable
So because we won a set of six matches a few months ago means if we play any other six games, regardless of the opposition, we could win those too....good argument.
I said it was easily possible to lose all six....these particular six ahead of us. What the fuck has history to do with that ?.
Tell you what, you refer to it as negativity and I'll call it a possibility which I doubt will actually happen as per my positive prediction.
Let's leave it at that....or at least I will.
Much will depend on the consistency of selection by Pochettino.
If he picks the team that played on Wednesday (possibly the best available at the moment) and sticks with it then I think we can win all 6. If he keeps rotating then we won’t .
Pochettino keeps highlighting the importance of rotating. But Spurs won 12/13 Premier League games at the end of 2016/17 by having the core players play all of them.
Ali, Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies played13/13. Eriksen played 12/13. Lloris played 12/13 missing a game through illness. Kane and Dembele missed a few games due to injury. But they were able to form tight partnerships and understanding on the pitch. Rotating for the sake of rotating doesn’t work

1 fcuking game at a time.
Another fucking poll! :llorisunsure:
Utd, Woolwich & ourselves have literally hit the skids in 2019, the only thing that helped us cling onto top 4 in the end was the fact we were well ahead by the end of 2018, we had a cushion....o yeah and Woolich & Utd were absolutely tripe.
This season has started where last season left off, City & Liverpool continue to dominate everything in front of them, Chelsea are proving it wasn’t just Hazard that got them 3rd last season and have transitioned seamlessly under Fat Frank, Rogers has got Leicester firing again and right now those teams look a good bet for top 4......
The majority of Woolwich fans are one or two more bad results away from turning on Emery, there will always be a grey cloud hanging over Ole at Utd, and we are obviously sticking with Poch for the foreseeable future by the looks of it, yet ironically Poch will never stick with the same 11 two games in a row
.....
I always say there are small windows of opportunity and we must take them when we can, take advantage of your enemies weaknesses and never stop for a rest while they are regrouping.....I always think a lot of our fans think it’s ok if we regress as long as they can say “Utd spent more than we did and look how shit they are” for example...Wrong mentality gents!!
When running away from a bear you don’t need to outrun the bear, you just need to out run the slowest person in your group.
Therefore we just need to out run 3 from Utd, Woolwich, Leicester and Chelsea, and to do that we need to start running, and fucking quickly.
So anything less than 3pts today the manager needs to go, I’m sorry but it’s Sheffield Utd, and yes during any normal season a slip can happen through complacency but this isn’t a normal season of late, we are under pressure, our backs are against the wall and complacency shouldn’t even come into it, we have to fight, these games are just as big as the NLD right now and if for whatever reason we can’t put 3pts on the board then there simply is no more excuses.....Change required....COYS!!
