Does 7th not get Europe?

Wilson, Longstaff, Kraft and Dubravka all need to go. We need another keeper, striker and left back, which means we need a big money exit, likely Bruno, which really pains me.

FFP isn't actually fair, when it only benefits the 'Big 6'.
Not bothered Villa has it...
We'll see in 18/24 months time.
As I understand it, if we get 7th then we have to rely on City beating them in the FA cup.

I think we have a talented but short of depth squad. On their day any one of them can be class but unfortunately it's consistency that sorts the elite from the rest. Even Bruno needs to turn up at the big games to be considered a £100m player. Trippier is just coming back so maybe he needs a few more minutes under his belt. I've not forgotten how influential he's been prior to that period where he kept slipping over.

Wilson is ill apparently. Unless he's got food poisoning, I don't see how a young athlete falls ill for 2 games just after coming back from another injury. Total predator but useless to us on the treatment table.

The Wilson rumours are he’s fallen out with EH. I don’t normally give rumours much weight. But some fairly reliable sources are saying he’s not ill.

I thought it much sooner than now but always felt Wilson would be away at the end of the season. He's been a good player for us but is too injury prone and we may as well cash in while he's still worth something.

Couple of bad mistakes on their part, thought we would miss Gordon more but we are fine. Reckon big Joe not 100% and might not come out second half.
Isak is real class, such a cool head.

Well that will do very nicely indeed.

Just need City to win the FA Cup now as I understand things.

Right, so we're all City fans next weekend, yeah?

Did everything we needed to do today.

A difficult season ends with our first finish above Man Utd.

Overall satisfied with the year, finished above Man U, broke the club record for PL goals, decent possibility of getting some European football as well.

A couple of incredible highs (PSG)!, the lows were injuries around Christmas.

If we'd done 7th last year and 4th this, Eddie would be being given the keys to the city already!
