We are just shit in putting them away. We don't create fear in them. 

Aye that is true. Hopefully, Ziyech, Werner and whoever comes in can change that.

9th place could end up being a European spot if City's ban sticks...

Why give the people hope! 

There is no ban.

Im not just talking about this season. I'm talking about the past 3 years. The smallsr clubs always turn up against us. 

But we should be able to counter that or match that performance..instead we play shite and are surprised when they win.

I fucking hate that daft grinning Mourinho face he pulled when he leaves the dug out after winning

Yes they tend to up their game I can agree on that, but we help them out greatly as well, very rarely do we instill fear on opponents

Indeed. We are one of the easiest teams to play against. We either, occassionally, completely wipe teams away and then just concede a few poor goals but still grind out a narrow wind or we absolutely collapse defensively once we are put under pressure. So every team fancies their 50:50 chance that we have a shit game. Liverpool play every game on like 80% and usually manage to grind something out by being solid at the back and having Mane, Salah scoring a fluke goal or getting a weak pen to win it. When you start having a rock solid defence you really make it difficult for teams to break you down.

For sure, I have said it many times that you build from the back, when you are solid and organised you always have a chance to win. Forwards win games, defences win you titles.

I thought is was only top 4 CL

5,6,7 EL

so it would be eighth

no way both years get chalked off

I simply do not believe that

that, as the decision, opens up craziness in terms of legal challenges to FFP and revolts by so many clubs

as Shitty flat out and illegally cooked the books on over £100m in completely false revenues

Sorry, forgot to mention that would require Wolves winning the Europa League too.

How does this stuff leak out about the ban.....surely back handers and that's it.

[Rapkun 668]

I see Solanke in Bournemouth's starting lineup and suddenly I'm feeling less confident now.

what if (far more likely) Manure win the EL? and they also take 3rd?

I assume nothing, it stays at 8th going if (IF the ban is upheld for at least 1 year)

If that's the case, then I think the European spot will go to one of the smaller European leagues? Can't remember what happened when we won it last year.

Troopz on AFTV jus spitting everywhere when they went 1-0 up
