Almost end of season Deja Vu?

Yes our League seasons of late have been very similar. Now we have gotten ourselves into a situation where we have nothing left to lose again because we've already lost it.

2 seasons ago we were hammering everyone under Kenny when the pressure was off, last season we were awful in the league from this point on and concentrating on the cups and this season again like 2 years ago we are hammering the field now that the pressure is off again.

We need a good start to next season to build a platform so that come next March we are still in the hunt for the top prizes.

I think there's pressure on at the moment. A disappointing last season means that every game is essential for this clyb, and be assured that nobody is not feeling pressure at the moment.

Ah, good old deja vu.

This isn't deja vu, its F***ing normal. Disgusted today.

You might have a point...

A point is more than we got or deserved at Southampton.

Lets hope Chelsea lose all the match and Liverpool win all!! finger crossed**

Why do you want Arsenal in CL?
I would rather have Chelsea in CL than Arsenal.

If Arsenal get CL Wenger will stay longer and still won't win anything, and Chelsea won't get Maureen back, its one of his criteria apparently - that Chelsea must be playing in the CL

Would it be pessemistic to state that any optimism in the opening post of this thread was misplaced and has evaporated.

yeah, you could say that!
No harm picking yourself up & starting over again though!

Fair play to you mate but the Charlie Chaplin anology is wearing thin at this stage of the game.

Done a Charlie Chaplin with the spelling of analogy there.

For me I couldn't really care less who gets in the CL if it isn't us.

Everton ?

Its obvious that we have Rogers in until May 2015.
Two years and the owners aren't going to pay anymore compensation out to anyone.

So we will see how rookie Rogers really performs on his earning and learning contract.

It seems these days our Holy Grail is fourth.  We have given up on first. Not in our hearts but in our comments on these forums.

A fourth best club ?

I'm sure I've seen this thread somewhere before.


Although we have won bugger all this year, our play has been more positive.

The run in will tell if we have improved or not. We seem to take the foot off the gas at the tail end of the season, I pray we carry on to get a highest possible place.

Nice post by the OP - I am feeling similar things myself.

Belief is a very subjective thing.  Some believe we are making progress, others don't.  Maybe it depends on how we determine progress.  In the league we have improved (somewhat) offensively against some 'smaller' teams but have suffered defensively in terms of goals conceded.  In the domestic cups we have been awful.

At times it has but there have been many games last season where our football as just as good, if not better, than this season.

I actually think that's a myth. We played much much better in the second half of the 2010-11 season than we did at any point in 2011-12.

It's not a myth if I seen it with my own eyes.

We played some fantastic football last season and it's overshadowed by our poor end of season form in the league.

I originally thought we would just miss out on CL because other teams wouldn't drop enough points. Now it seems we will miss out because we are failing to capitalise on other teams dropping points.

It will be so frustrating if we miss out by 6 points or something when we've drawn with the likes of West Ham at home and lost to Southampton and West Brom.

We can finish with 67 points MAX. It would be typical that the side who claims 4th finishes with less than that and we end up finishing with about 60 points.

It still hurts that we were screwed out of so many points earlier in the season by Referees and linesmen. I know people say these decisions even themselves out over the course of the season, but we were hit harder than most teams, and would be a lot closer to the summit.
