Honestly couldn't care less about Thursday's game tbh. Let's face it we're not going to win the competition so what's the point ? The managerial situation has to be sorted out one way or the other, the uncertainty is doing nobody any good, and if Moyes is going to go then the best solution is surely to get rid now. At the moment everyone seems to be simply going through the motions.
Weird take on this whiskey . Not worth trying to qualify for Europe at all then I guess? Personally loved getting to semi finals couple years ago, I mean I wouldn’t disagree that we are a pretty long shot but that applies to prem and domestic cups as well.
Enjoyed the ride so far and hope we can cling onto 7th and qualify again ( although we’ve got some tough games coming up and reckon we’ll struggle to get Europe for a 4th season on the bounce).
Would agree regards moyes either back him or sack him the atmosphere is toxic and not helping the players. We are a very weird bunch of supporters .
I'd love to see us qualify for Europe again but, let's be realistic, we aren't going to do it via the Europa League so my take on it is that we might as well put all our eggs in the PL basket. I think it's highly unlikely we will qualify that way either but, tbh, relatively speaking the clubs below us, Newcastle apart, have squads we should be finishing above. In the Europa League I think there are several, most notably Liverpool , Bayer Leverkusen and the two Italian sides who frankly, on our present form, would have us for breakfast and spit out the crumbs.
Realistically with all the toxicity around the gaff at the moment I think it's likely we'll manage to fuck up in the league and will therefore miss out on Europe completely which in turn will make recruitment of quality players more difficult. Personally I think whatever the eventual outcome of the managerial fiasco, imo he'll go in large part because of the failure to qualify for Europe, the toxicity will remain. If he stays Claret & Booze and the like minded You Tubers would go into meltdown and if a new bloke comes in the pro-Moyes brigade will come out of hiding once one or two results go south and it'll probably all kick off again.
