[Football] we`re gonna win the League

[Stat Brother]

Ridiculous thread.

Staying in the top 4 is the best we can hope for.

Yes, I know we're level on points but I'd be very surprised if we can keep up with Man City and Liverpool.

City have Spurs next week.
While Liverpool are at Southampton.


So that'll be City playing catch up.

twas a little tongue in cheek.

We’re not. It’s a pisstake. We were enjoying seeing some decent football away at last. Lighten up.

Alright lads, alright, my bad.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Top four needs to be a serious target now...spurs are on the wane, arsenal are a spent force, manure are in crisis...step up pottertime!

This is our season....champions league is the target.....

Believe

 

[Justice]

Personally anything less than the treble will be a disappointing season.

 

[Megazone]

I don’t want to speak for the OP but am sure this is all quite tongue in cheek.

Let’s enjoy the win.

Let’s be silly and get carried away for a bit... it’s what footballs about.

I mean, it’s been so long since we’ve played like that.

Woooosh.

 

[SweatyMexican]

Don't be so stupid.

We'll be third behind City and Liverpool.

 

[studio150]

Not as far fetched as Zaha being worth £120m

 

[Cheshire Cat]

The only way we will be top is if people start reading the league table upside down.

That reminds me:-


Where's TSB?

 

[Eeyore]

Ridiculous.

There is no way we will land above 3rd. We're a couple of Eredivisie signings short at present.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

When we finish fourth and smash Europe I think we should call for a European League in order not to have to play the likes of Palace who don't even have the right to clean our boots let alone share the same oxygen as us

 

[waterhouse]

Wolves can finish 7th last season so I see no reason why we can’t dream of of that and play in Europe next season. We are finally playing the right way. The biggest thing is we won the game with almost last seasons team. So we can only improve further with the likes of Trossard and Mooy to come in.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Have you seen Man City?


No chance. I also don’t like how some are getting really carried away.

This. There is understandable euphoria over a good away win. And there is pie in sky stupidity.

This may be no more than the flash in pan that same result against West Ham was, the occasional day when all goes right and opposition are shit. Potter hinted that in measured post match interview. An aspiration of mid table is reasonable at this stage. Leave it at that.

 

[dingodan]

Surely with the quality we have in the side we should be showing more ambition and targeting the World Cup.

 

[Triggaaar]

Is it a bit premature but could we??

No. Not a cat-in-hell's chance.

Leicester did.

They were better than us, but more importantly, all the big contenders were weak at the same time. There's absolutely no chance they'd have finished above the current City and Liverpool teams, and they probably wouldn't finish above the current Spurs team either.


PS - Apologies for somehow drifting into a serious answer to the question. It's a question that can be asked of the group of also rans (teams like Everton), and the same answer applies to them too.

Arsenal are 50-1 to win, which is ridiculous. I'd want hundreds.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

It was a joke.

If you have to explain it, it's not worth the ink. Some people take everything seriously.

 

[Hamilton]

Is it a bit premature but could we ?? Leicester did.

I've only just stopped laughing.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

But we all know that if we somehow win these next two home games, someone on a website somewhere* will call the City game a potential title decider.

* and not just this one.

 

[Triggaaar]

Is it a bit premature but could we?

Although the official line from the club is that we want to become a top 10 team, I've learned that Potter was told during his interview that the goal is to win the league this year, and if we don't, he'll be out of a job. Potter was delighted to hear this ambition and was happy to sign on the basis he'd have his contract terminated without compensation if we were to fall short.
