To be fair, speaking as the only person on the thread who mentioned Europe, it's not a case of getting carried away. I accept that we've probably been punching a bit above our weight so far this season, and I did say in the OP that the chances of Europe are slim at the very best. What I wanted (and still want, ideally) is a couple of new signings to give us a boost, to keep stringing together wins where we can against teams below and around us, so that we can hopefully stay within vague touching distance of Everton the next month or two *just in case* 7th place looks like becoming a Europa spot.
I'm not booking my plane tickets or cracking out the Albanian phrasebook, and not recommending anyone else does either. It's purely a best-case scenario view of what we *might* be able to compete for if things go our way, to help keep a bit of excitement and possibility alive after another awful cup exit.
Apologies: HRK did also mention Europe, but I think they're of the same opinion as me on the matter. Realistically it's damn near impossible for us. Optimistically... well, it's nice to nurse the hope that our season hasn't effectively ended in January.
Its ok mate I realise that it was part of your match thread and something you do really well.
lets face it the newspapers could have written the same thing that's how good your threads are
I understand why it was tongue in cheek,
Some of the tabloids, players oh and on other sites have been speaking up Europe a lot (dopes)
The same people today saying well we are not really safe from relegation were shit etc etc
So my take on things were at all Albion fans in general not on this site as you say tongue in cheek apart Europe hasn't been mentioned ...........
