The simple answer is no. We are so close to being regular European qualifiers but with such a young side we lack experience, top sides don't throw away leads.
I was beinh sarcastic
There are certainly four or 5 teams better than us…..
arse
city
liverpool
chelsea
aston villa
so that leaves us in premier division 2
spurs
brentford
newcastle
manu
brighton
fulham
bournemouth
then the rest.
our season will be defined on results against div 2 teams I think and that is how we try and get into the other European place.
Thanks to that abysmal pass, we missed the chance to go 3rd in the table, which would have been our highest-ever league position, if you exclude very early-season placings.
I think that's why I'm so annoyed about it - it would have been a small historical achievement for our club. A chance denied by a £25m Dutchman whose legs seem to be tied together with masking tape. With our upcoming two fixtures, it will become out of our reach, and probably will be for the remainder of the season. Will we ever reach such heights?
Do you realise how entitled you sound ? Anyone would have taken W4 D4 L1 at the start!Thanks to that abysmal pass, we missed the chance to go 3rd in the table, which would have been our highest-ever league position, if you exclude very early-season placings.

Not entitled at all. Just grates like hell that we had a chance to be Top Three and blew it.Do you realise how entitled you sound ? Anyone would have taken W4 D4 L1 at the start!
I'll give the immolation threads a miss if we capitulate.The next two games could be a little trying on here. Sales of pampers and pitch forks are going to go through the roof.
We are doing alright.
Didn't we have a chance to top the Prem a couple of seasons ago but failed to beat Palace at Selhurst ? I've never gotten over it.Not entitled at all. Just grates like hell that we had a chance to be Top Three and blew it.
No, we probably don't.Do we deserve that?
I’d suggest if you expect to be in the top four you’re probably watching the wrong club.
No, we probably don't.
Nowt to do with being 'entitled'. It would just have been nice to have been there for a little while. Little old Brighton in the Champions League places. Incredible.
I’m surprised you didn’t add we used to play at Gillingham and then at an Athletics track.Do we deserve that? We’re getting very entitled. New very young manager, new squad essentially, Pedro, O’Riley and yesterday Dunk out.
There’s moments like this every season for every club. Tottenham had one against US. Villa had one yesterday along with other clubs. Manchester United had one tonight. It was a bad loss of points, but we’ve won just last week with a smash and grab against Newcastle.
I said at the start of the season I hoped for top 10 and a cup run, absolutely nothing has changed.
The top clubs have better players, more money, more supporters and for us to even be in the conversation shows we are overachieving.

We’ve never ever won anything of note. Ever. Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle, Everton, Nottingham Forest and the rest - all have cup and league wins, dozens of ‘em.
Reading this place today god knows what it’s going to be like when we slip down to mid table after facing Liverpool then Manchester City and losing in the cup.
Dear me.
Would top 10 be an achievement after spending £ 183 000 000 close season, the most in the premier league ?True
And at the end of the season based on what seen so far . Top 10 would be an achievement
