I suppose WINNING the PL will be a bit of a stretch but I can EASILY see us finishing in the TOP 4 next season, momentum is a TREMENDOUS thing to have and many teams have come UP and WON the title in the first season like Ipswich and Forest and I think we can be somewhere near the top next season.

Champions League qualification shouldn't be that much to AIM for unlike SMALL teams like Palace battling relegation EVERY season.

Champions League semi-final AT LEAST next season, anything less is a failure.

I saw that in the transfers thread. The Board and CH will aim higher than those players, unless there's a stand out Championship player not at a rip off fee.

I'll be happy with 5th to be honest Ernest. But not 6th.

I think we've got to be looking beyond European qualification and be aiming to win the World Cup in 2018. At the very least get to the final.

Yeah see, when you said 0-7 away I didn't expect them to score at our place. Therefore you are the weakest link.

Along with a cup double I would hope. Anything else and it's Bloom OUT. He's had his CHANCE - fail and the ARS will speak.

But Nomad boy - you misunderstand. The 1 goal they get at out place is a deliberate
own goal to stop the Chelsea players crying.

I genuinely thought those kinds of threads would be interesting if IF the recruitment team entered uncharted territory.

Oh well.
