Comfortable top 10 position for me

We don't have the squad depth, or funding to go for any attempt at Europe.

Everyone is going to laugh at me, but here it goes:-

Here's my reckoning. Citeh and all of the teams around us are involved in one other important competitions (to their owners) at least. All the clubs are claiming their players are knackered, and results are backing that up. From now to the end of the season we only have one week where we play two games.

United (4 points ahead) are still in the FA Cup and Europa League, they will get to the next round of the Europa so that is a minimum of 4 more games than us (could be up to 11). Yes they have a big squad, but whenever Bruno Fernandez doesn't play they look shit and the guy is knackered.
Leicester (4 points ahead) also still in the FA Cup & Europa League, they will also play a minimum of 4 more games than us (could be to 11)
Chelsea also still in FA Cup & Champions League they will play a minimum of 3 more games than us (could be up to 10). Teucel is already beginning to lose it, subbing Hudson-Odoi 30 mins after he'd come on as a sub, will cause resentment in the squad. Also he continues to pick Werner when the guy is out of form/knackered. Chelsea's squad is a nightmare
Liverpool absolutely ravaged by injuries 5 points behind us, in Champions League; they will play a minimum of 2 more games (could be up to 7)
Everton 5 points behind and also still in the FA Cup, have one game in hand (unfortunately its vs WBA away) minimum 2 more games than us (could be 5)
Villa 9 points behind us, two games in hand; Grealish is injured
Spurs 9 points behind us , one game in hand. In League Cup final and Europa League, Minimum 4 more games than us, could be 8 more)
Arsenal 11 points behind us, minimum 3 more games, could be 7 more games.

Covid could trip up any of the above (or us)!

We need the key members of the squad to stay fit, Rice, Soucek, Dawson (can't believe I'm saying that), Fabianski, Ogbonna, Soufal, Lingard, Antonio. We also need some decisions going our way. Having had only one penalty this season is ridiculous. COYI

Oh Please. FFS !!! IF you were in a financial position to be a club owner do you really, be honest now, think your ego ( remember in this imaginery scenario you are at the very least a multi millionaire) would allow you to even consider the possibility that you were, to use your words, "letting us down".

And out of curiosity why do you think "our" club deserves success more than any other club which is just there to make up the numbers in the best league in the world ? Never mind the clubs in the lower echelons. Doesn't success have to be earned on merit ?
All day long and the next mate I'm Afraid Mate...I'm fuckin something up, I pass it on let someone that knows what they are doing
take over...in life,and moreso with something I care about and love...also from emotional and financial angles.
100% on that..
Might try and keep the controlling interest from an Ego point of view granted,but very much a silent partner...but then again
I wouldn't fuck things up..
I want my business to make as much money as poss...if it don't under me....get someone else in to make me more money...
to run it better...thats an angle Sugo haven't quite grasped..they don't see and are limiting our progress and potential.

We ,us lot the fans do deserve something..we are the best fans,we stuck by the Irons right thru the shit times.....
Arse,Spuds,Cheats,have all had their moments in the sun...time for us to get a tan.... :lol:
We gave up our home to try and get there....Running before you can walk maybe,but the opportunity knocked,and
admit I would have taken it as well if I was the Owner...
We Have Earned it (Us) imo mate.
Fucking something up ?

Just for interest ..... If you owned a business making healthy profits, why would you think you were fucking something up and step down ?
Isn't the point to make money when you own a business ?

I hope you’re right Dano. Would be amazing. But part of me hopes you’re wrong purely for the reason it would just be typical of us to reach our highest ever league position when fans ain’t allowed to witness and experience it in person

Well we certainly had a bit of luck go our way yesterday with opponents and not us hitting the woodwork.

The hook-nosed vermin would have grabbed a point on most days.
