But with City losing today and them playing Liverpool we have a chance to get a bit of distance.
Lets win against Southampton then ask me again but why not?
Maybe I went overboard with mediocrity but I do genuinely believe top 6 finishes in the last decade is nothing to be overly proud of, be proud of the improvement from the Sugar years but top 6 is no actual achievement.
You can't go from stable mid-table to stable top 4 overnight.
Finishing consistently in the top 6 is an achievement, as it shows positive progression. You can't break into the top 4 unless you're already regularly on the cusp of it, else you lose your players who want to play regular European football (i.e. look at Everton for this).
Top 6 = Europa League = European Football. When we started to get consistent European football, we started to attract and retain a better calibre of player.
Seems a lack of consistency in certain attitudes....in November some claimed 8th at best, and we'd be lucky to get 6th.
Then when we pick it up, catching and overtaking Liverpool, City and arse and go 2nd, but instead of being impressed that we have surpassed their wildest expectations, its just numerous posts about how our transfer policy and poor squad has ruined our chance of winning the title.
I remember some constantly looking behind and crapping one out over Utd catching us after the game at Old Trafford. Four months on, and we still have daylight, yet its not good enough.
Expect 8th, pissed off with 2nd.....laughable.
Meanwhile, you bottle out of backing up your own claims.I know, not even fussed about the few disagrees, they were to be expected, I'm speaking my mind. There's a clique on here and it's positivity.

Because you drag other fans down when they are happy.*waaaaah* Why can't I be left alone to be a constant misery guts? *waaaah*
If I don't even post then how can I drag them down.Because you drag other fans down when they are happy.
Oh I think you'll see I've offered up plenty of argument in this thread. Your post added nothing. Why waste time repeating what I have already said?If I don't even post then how can I drag them down.
Turn to humour when you can't say a good argument back, go you.
*waaaah*why does a stranger on the big bad internet make my cry.*waaah*
It's like some people have last season's Leicester kit in their wardrobe.
It is ok. You are just ignoring what you can't answer. You are happy with supporters who celebrate a goal or win by straight away ranting & raving about negative supporters rather than posting about the fact we just scored or won. Each to their own.Oh I think you'll see I've offered up plenty of argument in this thread. Your post added nothing. Why waste time repeating what I have already said?
And yes, the moaners to get me, for one, down. I come on here to celebrate a great result, be it beating a top side, a drubbing or whatever else, and there are still cunts whining about how something or other isn't good enough. It's pitiful and it ruins the celebration because it is a constant reminder that some of our fans are total and unsatisfied cunts. Do you wish to be regarded that way?
I don't know of anyone who attacks other posters before celebrating goals. If such people exist they are a minority and I certainly haven't spotted them. I find your claim to be false.....and what comes first the negative moaner or the person who responds? Think about it billy big bollocks. Ain't hard to work out.It is ok.

& I see your ego is coming through that you think we should care how you regard us.
Good night.
The 'negativity vs positivity' debate is the dullest topic on the Internet...
Part of the point was they bring up & rant about negative posters who haven't even been posting in the match thread.I don't know of anyone who attacks other posters before celebrating goals. If such people exist they are a minority and I certainly haven't spotted them. I find your claim to be false.....and what comes first the negative moaner or the person who responds? Think about it billy big bollocks. Ain't hard to work out.
Now who has nothing to say....?Part of the point was they bring up & rant about negative posters who haven't even been posting in the match thread.
Look back at match threads & you will see it is a true claim.
billy big bollocks?! I am just posting on a forum. Calm down. I thought it was clear my name was scott.
Anyway, can't be bothered going over it all again & airflixx is right.
You ignored it again you weirdo.Now who has nothing to say....?
Sad thing is they moan about negative posters posting but are desperate for the negative posters to post negative stuff.
