Best case is mid table dullness. Any decent player that actually succeeds will leave. It's just very very disheartening. There's no way through.

Aye, we missed the boat spectacularly and it’s all pretty much sealed up now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Name Is Death Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) Bale, Modric, and Van der Vaart were incredibly canny signings for Spurs while we, though wealthier than them at the time, were dicking around with the likes of Heskey, Ireland, and Reo-Coker. It's appalling how we wasted our opportunity. Edited April 9, 2022 by His Name Is Death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 If Burnley and Everton win their games in hand we will be just six points above the bottom three. We've got some winnable games to come, but we've also lost quite a few winnable games this season. One. More. Win. Should. Do. It. But we need that win asap, as whilst I can't see us going down, the longer we're stuck on 36 points and the more teams below win games then that's when it starts getting too close for comfort.

VillaChris Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 2 hours ago, Tayls said: Exactly. Teams that need points. Do you honestly think we can get something from playing Burnley? I don’t at the minute. We could lose every game left and wouldn't go down imo. Mind you that would put Burnley on 30 points so perhaps not.... I thought after Leeds we had a very decent chance of getting 50 + points so this is really poor potentially being 15 points off last seasons haul as we certainly aren't getting anything off Liverpool or Man. City and we'll probably lose to Leicester and Palace aswell in this state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Crazy to think that we could still be relegated despite having 36 points with 7 games to go. Not convinced we will get anymore points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced we will get anymore points. That would bean we’d need to lose a total of 11 in a row - which we’ve done once, the season we went down. The chances of any premier league team losing that many games in succession is very slim. obviously it has happened to us before, and sunderland managed even more once (15 in a row one season, followed by their next 5 after their next promotion), but it’s very, very rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Mid table nothingness. And its going to be very hard to improve on that in the coming years. Surely that's worth an additional 10% of anyone's money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
