UEFA CUP next season lads, believe it

I think we will get into the Champions League.

I think we will get into the Champions League.

Mate lets hope you're right but there is absolutely nothing to suggest that we will put a decent run together. As far as i'm concerned we are playing as badly as we played under gh and that disgusts me. No heart, no quality and thoroughly depressing brand of footie.

I'd agree, this is as bad as anything I ever saw under Houllier.

I still think we'll finish fourth, but it's by no means a guarantee.

[Harv]

we will not finish 4th. No chance.

people can continue to blame rafa's blatant failings as a manager on money if they want but the bottom line is how many managers in the prem have had as much as him to spend over the last 3 years? Not many. After spending so much money why do we have ****e like pennant, gonzalez and zenden still playing
why are we so rubbish? Why have we lost 3-0 twice this season? Why have we capitulated to united and bolton this season? Why do we play rubbish football? How is it possible that a 'world class ' manager is incapable of out foxing gareth southgate's appalliing boro side?

we are no closer to winning the league under rafa and unless there is a dramatic turn around in our fortunes over the next few weeks then i will have lost ALL faith in rafa's ability to get us where we need to be.

id suggest you get yourself down to your local GP.

You sound suicidal

Spot on.

[Red_hot]

We'll finish in the top 4 no probs!!

Have some faith people!

[Red_hot]

I've pretty much lost faith in Rafa now. A great manager no doubt - just can't see him cracking the English game.

Yeah, getting us our highest league points total in countless years shows he hasnt got a clue in the league doesn't it?

Well id base this on, new players settling in, all the tough away games gone, and i feel we can only get beter from here on in, i think we will start to click, this is the best team we have had since Rafa arrived, we will get better.

You have to put that in context though, we finished third last season, that's the bottom line, a 'highest points total' is little more than a hapless statistic, in my opinion.

We finished 5th in his first season, 3rd in his second season and are currently 9th in his third season.

There's every bit of evidence to suggest he will never 'crack' the Premiership.

**** i hate that leet ****!

im just joking mate.....you dont seriously think i believe you to be suicidal.

[Harv]

Spot on.

**** off douche bag


spot on about what?

im realistic, we will finish 3-4 bank on it!

I never thought we would win! WHY? because Chelsea have ruined football! thats why. They poach players, have ruined the games economy and all the while get praised in the media for how good they are on the pitch.

Its got nothing to do with Rafa. He has done a brilliant job so far. We have struggled so far this season in the league.....but thats a confidence issue, not a personnel issue. He bought one crappy player over the summer and people want his balls for it.

You lot are ****ing bizarre.

i bet they said that about Fergie aswell.

Ok then, lets put it in context. The season isnt over yet.

A hapless statistic which happens to show that Rafa has bettered every managers total for the past however long? Let us not forget, up until about 2/3 years ago, the league was anyones unlike now where Chelsea have been buying it. Fact is, Rafa is the best manager we have had since we won the league and if he isn't deemed good enough then people are just moaning for the sake of moaning.

Using your statisitcs then, how can you compare now with Rafa's first season and last season as you are showing how the season FINISHED. Season hasnt finished yet has it? So being 9th is a hapless statistic as well isn't it? The only way we will be playing Uefa cup football next season is if we **** up and finish 3rd in our CL group next season.

[Kinell]

We'll finish 4th or better. We are only 4 points behind Arsenal and they have a game in hand to. We have played all the hardest away games we have this season now so our away record can only improve. Don't be so Fcuking negative!
