I get this.
You do wonder what the situation would be if Potter had never gone to Chelsea, and we still had him now.
I'm confident he would've gotten Europe last season or the season before - we were starting to look seriously good just before he left.
We said it at the time and of course the...
Yeah this thread does help with perspective. A reminder of just how long a season is - there will be a time we look excellent again this season, I'm sure of it.

Marvellous.
This morning we're asking "Who is your favourite Gore?" - Al, Martin, or this guy.
I'd have to go Martin - for the guitar line from Enjoy The Silence alone. Incredible.
If any of them are still drunk from the night prior or massively hungover, take them to the Upside Down House on the seafront.

Got my first attack in over a year or so the other day - not unexpected - been a month or so of poor sleep, high stress, bad eating, lots of salt, etc, all conditions ripe for a BOUT o' GOUT.

Saying Europe is too much of an ask when we sit 5th in December and knowing Top 8 will almost guarantee Europe?
Well, they're being a bit silly aren't they?
