In reply to: eganonoa 's message, "Not for me. I'm forever scarred by us nearly disappearing. Mid-table consistent stability and a shot every year is good. This year we were one stupid tackle from 6th. Over the four years, we outperformed Bournemouth (200), Palace (192 points), Forest (179), West Ham (174), Everton (173), Wolves (149), performed as well as Spurs (205) and just below Brentford (207). Only Ars, Man C, Liv, Villa, Man U, New, Chelsea, and Brighton have really outperformed us. Incredible when you think about it!" on Monday, May 25, 07:19:17am

Given where we came from, it is pretty incredible that we've had four seasons in which we've been outperformed by only a handful of team in the entire country. How long were we in the league before we got that Europa season? Patience. (NT) -- eganonoa, Monday, May 25, 10:11:02am (unn-149-88-18-198.datapacket.com/149.88.18.198)
- Out performed is finals, Europe, it doesn’t matter we got more points than B.mouth for 2 years, all that matters is this season they finished above us, are in Europe, we passed up our opportunities again. It’s about winning moments as much as an overall picture of the season, we consistently come up short in the moments that matter under silva. Going round in circles anyway, agree to disagree on what success is, but I won’t remember for one second how many points we got in 5 years time.

  - And again, how long were we in the premier league before we had such a final before? There are many paths to success and not all success has to be NOW, NOW, NOW despite the sad, immediate gratification world we live in. Many ways to slice the sausage and given the "fine margins" of the league, a smart play is to just keep entering the competition in a competitive state.

    - Consistent passing of opportunity when presented, it’s not unlucky, it’s not being good enough after being given plenty of chances, plus we have become more boring to watch, entertainment wise we are regressing. I’d be more sympathetic if I could see upward trajectory, but 3 years is a long time in football and I don’t see it. Silva has worked with most these players a long time and I’d argue many are now regressing and we have limited room to refresh.
