Well we certainly have no other distractions :)

May as well go for it.

Gotta sort the home form if we want to achieve anything special this season (any kind of Europe).

The away wins are great, and a real testament to the manager and the team's collective spirit but we've got to figure out a way of scoring the first goal at home to open games up for us.

3 points off 5th, which is potentially CL qualification. Madness considering we haven’t been that great and also the amount of players missing.

Agree that we need to sort home form out if we are to have any chance. It’s lovely to be in this position dreaming of what might be.

Frustrating when you look at the past two home games. JOB at centre half for them and even the Brentford game might have looked a lot different.

I fear Man U and the shite will probably have the two Champs League places sewn up but Europa League should be within reach with a full squad now.

Good to be able to think we are in the shake up for this. Not getting carried away, but signs of progress we are looking up and potential European qualification

Are we just too inconsistent for this? If United have got themselves in order and Chelsea are onto a good thing then I can't really see the top 6 changing.

7th you kind of feel Newcastle are by quite a bit the strongest side around this area of the table.

Ideally the PL gets 5 CL places again and 8th ends up as a Conference League place following a top 7 team (or us!) winning the FA Cup.

1-5 CL
6-7 EL
8 ConL

With the season Spurs are having then we should be looking to beat the likes of Fulham, Brentford, Sunderland, Bournemouth and Brighton to 8th.

Slim chance of eighth, probably finish 9th or 10th which would exceed the majority of expectations at the start of the season.

Yeah I think we've managed to over perform due to the David Moyes and Jack Grealish factors basically. We're just not good enough for this kind of league position. 10th-12th is probably good and fair.

Inconsistency is our downfall: if only we could string 4 or 5 wins on the bounce, because Europe is there for the taking

We have not won at home since beating Forest at the beginning of December

Saw elpivote talking about how we haven't won a single game where we've had more than 50% possession all season.

Not good enough on the ball, in terms of players or systems. If you can't play with the ball, can't control a game, there's a hard ceiling on what you can do unless you willingly counter in every game which it doesn't seem like we want to do.
