I thought we'd be playing in Europe next year and am incensed -- incensed I tell you -- that that failed to come to pass.
Murray scored 8 goals up to the game against Palace in December - he has scored 3 since - that is the problem.
Hughton needs two strikers who can score 25 goals between them. The problem is that it is very hard to find a striker who will score at that rate in the PL.
Surely all of us would have taken that.If someone had said
Come end of season you'll be safe with two games to go
You'll have a day out at Wembley in FA Cup Semi Final
Oh and you'll take six points off Palace
Let’s not try and dress up the season. It’s been poor and we are likely to go down next season if we play like we have been in the past couple of months. We’ve had some high points but we need to get back to reality pretty quickly.
I know you’re a team spokesman and wouldn’t be critical of the club if we reappointed Hyypia and got relegated to the conference so no point in debating with you. Good parts of the season but overall, especially in the 2nd half of the season it has been woeful and we’re lucky there’s 3 teams poorer than us."Dress up" - haven't done the double over Palace in living memory, haven't been in a FA Cup semi final for 36 years, best spell in the top flight for a 37 years, and we beat Man United at home for the 2nd season in a row. These are some of the biggest moments in my 46 year supporting history. !!
The idea that i'm not going to remember this season for years or want to be reminded over and over how terrible it all was is , fair enough, but blimey.!

Do you think Messi would have made the difference?
I don’t! Without any support to strikers we will never create enough opportunities to score the goals required to win games.
At the beginning of the season definitely. Fulham, Huddersfield and Carfiff have shown how difficult it is for newly promoted clubs to survive for two seasons. So overall job done.
However, after we beat Everton and drew with Arsenal at Xmas clearly the second half of the season has been very disappointing. Perhaps the players, like us fans, looked at the run of home fixtures and thought job done. If so that good for next season as we will know we need to be so much better in the home games against teams around us.
Major overhaul needed in the summer but for me Hughton gets to start the season but TB shouldn’t hesitate if the form from this year continues into the first ten games.

And won at Arsenal then beaten City to hand the title to the scousers. Short memories and a funny old game
