We have proved we can beat any team we play in the premier league I think Fulham is the only current premier league we haven’t beaten !

Blooming heck...the Mushrooms must be a strong old crop this season!!! We've played two shite teams and got the rub of the green in all 3 games. YES probably the strongest and technically gifted squad in my 57yrs of supporting BHA but 'a run at the title'? It will be an exciting season for sure but I think next season is the one we should be getting really getting excited about. Just my opinion.
We haven't beaten Ipswich in the PL
Don't worry, that is far from the least sensible post he's made in the last week

Have we played them in the PL ?
No, this is their first season in 20 odd years, and we weren't here last time
Is Crawley Dingo another Swansman account?

Maybe I didn’t quite word my post correctly- it should have read the only current premier league team that we have played in the Premier League that we have never beaten is Fulham

It's alright, I was only mucking about.
To be top 4, you need consistency, for more than 2 seasons . . . We haven't had that . . .we got there, maintained it, under Sir CH, then We were getting better slowly, tediously, with the man from C&A but he jumped to the first team that offered a real beige away kit . . . . it's been a roller coaster since .
This. Transfer window activity was a medium/long-term play - TB and PB yet again planning everything to perfection with the cash pile ready when there was far less competition for signings and a few clubs desperate to sell. Next season - even if we sell maybe one superstar next summer to fund the next round of spending - we’ll hopefully have a settled squad, Fab will have got to grips with the PL and we’ll be getting Facu and Barco back. 5th-10th this season I reckon, potentially higher next……….
Odd for me to agree with Creepy Dingbat (especially given that I can't see what he wrote - you can guess the rest) but I feel that we should be aiming for a run at the title every season. Now.
The raison d'etre of any football club is the pursuit of glory.
Survival, inquiry and sophistication and all that, sure.
But I can't see why we can't join Douglas Adams, now, in asking: where should we have lunch?
Quite likely one or more won’t be the player we hoped……..then the usual crew can start lobbing metaphorical bricks at the recruitment team on here again (whilst simultaneously scrapping online for their flights to Munich and BarcelonaSo which one will turn out to be the new Dahoud?

Yep, sounds like NSC at its finest!Quite likely one or more won’t be the player we hoped……..then the usual crew can start lobbing metaphorical bricks at the recruitment team on here again (whilst simultaneously scrapping online for their flights to Munich and Barcelona
I think the squad has top 4 potential but only just. I’m talking 4th behind Citeh, Liverpool and Arsenal.
For this to happen, we need to see players stay generally fit. We need to see the pre-injury form of Ferguson, March and Estupiñán under RDZ. We also need 80% of the new signings to be ‘hits’.
You can add to that the continued form of JPvH & Pedro and Verbruggen plus a needed return to form of Dunk.
Our chance is when European games and FA cups matches become intense for our rivals. I think we can do a lot of them because they have Europe.
It’s going to be one hell of a season!!

The Bartman, a top international keeper who will be a future superstar.
A fit Pervis flyng down the left with Igor as a back up if necessary.
Ferdi, a marauding right-back with Veltman to cover when needed.
JPvH and Dunk bossing the centre of defence with Webby available when required.
Baleba, Weiffer shutting down the midfield in front of our defence with Milner covering when fit again.
O'Riley, Rutter, Ayari, Hinshelwood pulling the strings in midfield.
Mitoma or Adringa wide left, Minteh or Gruda wide right.
Welbeck, Enciso, Pedro, and Ferguson smashing down the front door.
Any of us could pick a decent 11 out of that lot.
Europe again, Europe again, Europe again are we are we.

Verbrugen
Ferdi, JPvH, Dunk, Estupian
Weiffer, O'Riley
Minteh, Pedro, Welbeck, Mitoma
Subs:
Webster, Veltman, Baleba, Rutter, Ayari, Ferguson, Enciso, Adingra, Gruda, Steele, Igor, Lamptey
That is an insane line-up, and after the international break, there is every chance that only O'Riley will be unavailable from my starting XI above.

March would definitely make the bench and Hinshelwood
