Very true Barry. Most are only using it as an excuse to get more money.
It's a bit like F1 for me, it would take the gloss off winning olif your car is much superior to everyone else's. I would always wonder was I only winning the CL because I'm in a good team. could the team win without me or am I essential. Maybe that's just me though
Only 4?, I guess you did not see many games then.
Chel53a, Ar5ena1 and QPR at home. WBA away.
What other games did we play well?
I was at the home legs of Sheffield Utd and Fiorentina and we were woeful.
Even in a number of games we won we were horrible to watch and typically labored to wins by a single goal, often against 10 men or against the run of play.
I've excluded all the Europa league group games as the opponents were pub sides.
We finished 5th because Liverpool and Southampton bottled it. We didn't get there because we were somehow good. We were out of the champions league race by February effectively.
I tend to watch the matches not the stats and league positions.
Matches like Palace twice, Stoke twice, Saudi Sportswashing Machine, wba, villa and drawing with Burnley.
Disgraceful amount of points dropped for a team claiming to be challenging for the champions league. Embarrassing in fact.
And yet people try to dress last season up as a success.
Eriksen was supposed to be joining up with the danish squad today, but has stayed in London to get treatment on his knee.
Danish FA say that he is doubtful for the game on saturday against Albania.
Weird to 'like' a player being injured. Especially one of our own! But I'm excited by Eriksen/ Kane with Son and NJ, plus Pritchard and Chadli. Eriksen could be key to releasing these players from midifeld, and I think they will create more space for him too.

Sorry mate that is rubbish, you have been banging on about us dropping points against lower teams so if anyone bottled it that was us. You can not have it both ways no matter how hard you try or how much you want to slag off Levy.
I'd actually swap the 6 points we got from Ar5ena1 and Chel53a for wins in all the games I mentioned. We'd have been quite a bit better off.

New update:
Eriksen is now officially out of the game against Albania on friday and doubtful for the game against Armenia next monday.

That makes me feel better. I was seriously worried he might be off.
