[Albion] To Avoid De Zerbi Bashing - The Staying Up/Europe Tracker - season 2023-24 - FINAL Update - 8 OVER

[Bob!]

So, 10 over, 10 under Europe?

 

[Giraffe]

Yep 10 over relegation, 10 under Europe, a near perfect middling season! Could still get as close as just 4 under Europe with 3 wins out of the last 3.

 

[Giraffe]

Now on a predicted 10th.

 

[fork me]

I remember the days when I'd have been ecstatic about being 10th in the Prem. The fact that this is disappointing just shows how far we've come.

 

[Giraffe]

I suppose I should update for that lots win last night. Can we catch Man Utd?

They finish the season at home to Arsenal, then home to Newcastle then away to us. If they lose all three we could do it?

Now on a predicted 10th.

Hard to see how anyone could be disappointed with that - is there a single team (possibly West Ham) who we could realistically expect to be higher than?

Given the injuries, I agree.

If we finish 10th, I for one will be satisfied - because BEFORE the start of the season, I declared that 'top 10 and getting out of our EL group would be a good season', so it would be unjust to go back on that now - particularly in light of all the injuries.

I voted 8th and getting out of the group at start of season - if we'd had a more "par" season injury wise I think we would've achieved at least this, so I'm happy.

Which two of the teams above us were you expecting us to beat?

 

[Mellotron]

No idea - but now, I'd say Chelsea (still such a basket case and will continue to take time to settle down) and West Ham (on our day and with players fit, I think we are better than them).

I said the same.

 

[Giraffe]

Shame we couldn't get the win, but a really good point. 11 over now, 9 under Europe. Would be great to finish the season with two home wins now.

 

[Giraffe]

Still likely to be our second best ever season.

 

[Giraffe]

A pretty disappointing end to the season. See you all again in August when I fear the relegation tracker may become more relevant again

 

[Giraffe]

3rd best season.

 

[Weststander]

Thank you so much @Giraffe , these threads are great .

Enjoy your summer …. watching NSC trench warfare .
