I don’t think the club would benefit from a European place. It would put to much pressure on the finances . And our limited squad would be knackered well before Christmas. Having said that we didn’t need to lose the games we are doing to avoid it. The potential is still there, the Chelsea game showed that but outside of Liverpool, the other poor performances were against teams that didn’t have much themselves and pride should have produced at least 6 more points before the end of season. Playing as we are it will be nothing. And that can’t be thought OK. Totally agree, europa league is a recipe for relegation, unless we have a Leicester type season and get in the big one i say fcuk europe!

Thing is, we are in a better position than villa, Roys done the hard work, i don"t mind losing the last 8 if it means we start september with a win or two, i trust steve and the yanks to purchase a few players in the next few months! You don't mind losing 8 games in a row??... Wow... Can you come and be my Boss please??.. I'd have a job for life by the sounds of it no matter how s*** I was!!
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

The end of the road for VAR here? It is not working is it. Three wrong decisions last Thursday and now this. No real excuse In the end for how Palace went about this game. The disallowed goal would have effected the game that’s for sure ,how we will never know.

The seasons over kenny, mission accomplished, we are still in the epl, that"s all we can wish for i"m afraid, i for one would have settled for it in August, just because Sir Roy had a great season up to the Bournemouth game finishing, i"m not to bothered to be honest, did want us to spoil our West London neighbours day and we nearly did, but as long as we get off to a flier in September i couldn"t care less, and ive been going for 48 years!

I do get what you're saying to a degree... I don't think anyone can argue, no matter how it ends with RH what a great job he's done.. That goes without saying... I think a lot of it now depends on what the individual fan wants... I have now got to a stage where I can't bear to watch this 'football' much longer.. And before anyone complains we don't have the funds etc for that just look at Burnley. I feel like any type of creative flair has been sucked our of our squad.. it's the same old game plan and substitutions week in week out... Our home form has been poor for a few seasons now. I for one am sick of sticking 11 men behind the ball at home to teams like Brighton and hoping we hit them on the break. We may of been safe but it can never ever be acceptable to lose 8 games (and it will be 8 games believe me) in a row when you are a professional team playing at the very top.

I don’t really think we’re top 6 or that we’re ever likely to be - In fact it would probably come at a cost of league form/status. I would be happy with a cup run and mid table i as long as we’re good to watch. I Iwant us to be viewed by the rest of the league as a dangerous opponent. We have been- but we’re now at a point where we’re are predictable and easy for opponents to plan for and very dull to watch.

The fact is, one of our holding midfielders gave away a sloppy free kick at the end of the first half. Botha Kouyate and McArthur hadn’t made a successful tackle up to that point, which begs the question, what did they contribute? We went 1-0 down and then Woy decided to do a like for like defensive midfielder substitution. I’d love to ask him why he felt like that was the best decision? Our best 15 minutes what when Reideweld and Meyer were on the pitch. If he stared with a different line up and lost, he could have told his critics they they were wrong. But he tried the same tactics yet again, and we lost, to a team that are pretty s***.

“And before anyone complains we don't have the funds etc for that just look at Burnley.” Before you cite Burnley as your template for the mystical ‘next level’ remember that just a few games ago we were level on points with them. We could and should have beaten them when we played. They are not the ‘next level’, they are just another average team treading water. Unless a sugar daddy comes along, that is our level and there Is nothing that RH, SP, you or I can do about it. Survival is the name of the game and we’ve achieved that with games to spare. It’s back to being cannon fodder next season, for us, for Burnley, for all the other average clubs without money to burn. And again the objective will purely be survival. It’s pretty bleak when you really analyse it, but I’d rather be surviving in the premier league than anywhere else.
