And that's a fantastic achievement. Tell fans of other clubs about it though, and the most you'll get is an "aww, that's nice". We're not competing in this league to break our own records, we should be competing with the other clubs. I guess this is just the last 10 years or so of football becoming increasingly money hungry finally catching up with me.

Because we were still looking to progress, we were showing ambition. This summer looks to be about stabilising and just staying as we are. That might be good enough for other people, that's fine. But I'm not going to pay the amounts of money required to go nowhere. In individual matches yes, but on the league and cup season we haven't made a single dent.

BREAKING NEWS: People are full of sh*t.

This summer could make or break my love for football in all honesty. I just don't see the point if you're not aiming to compete.

Be doing them a favour, none of their fans want Europa league.

Fair enough. I haven't read a tabloid for years in all honesty so have no idea what they've said about us, other than a few Martin Samuel pieces posted on here.

The Sun gushed praise on us? Like when they called us South Coast Club and refused to print our actual name?

That is hilarious. And i'll admit to being one that complained about his predicitons previously.

I'm not underwhelmed, disappointed or any of the other crap being posted. Just confused. If we're so big on increasing our commercial revenue now, then why haven't we gone for a bigger brand that can pump more money in? That is of course, unless we're getting ANOTHER sponsor for just the shirts and our main sponsor isn't included in that.

It was her 'bankrolling' us before so what's changed in your mind?

I hope Giggs gives himself a sentimental final 90 minutes, we will run him ragged.

Well he's hardly going to say "our mediocre 8th place finish" is he.

If Lallana does go I'll be totally honest - I'm not sure if I'll have the enthusiasm to go anymore. There's no point in shelling out the huge ticket prices if we're not going anywhere, I may as well just watch online and go to a couple of away games.

Gallagher?

I didn't, I just couldn't be arsed with it anymore.

Looks like a Bulmers pint glass to me. You'd think they could afford the correct glasses.

Yeah I thought the same, I would have offered a one year contract.

"There have been good teams but this ones the best". That's a hell of a quote right there, IMO.

So we sign this respectable striker - when does Gallagher get his chance?

Jesus christ. Now I remember why I wanted to stay away from this place. What absolute b*llocks. Fwiw as a third choice striker, I think he's perfect.

Kind of like chanting obscenities in broad daylight amongst women and children at a football stadium?

Everyone lacks a midfield goalscorer of lampards calibre. If we're holding out for that we're gonna be disappointed.

When I gave it a go I was deleting trolling posts left right and centre, and got a sh*t storm of abuse for it. I would suggest some people just don't know what they want.

West ham in the promotion season, before that i reckon you have to go back to 2008ish to a 3-2 win over stoke.

Glad we're finishing the season strongly, everyone goes into the summer in good spirits about things at the club.
