Can we set a Premier League win and points record this season with this team?

[davek]

Points don't matter.

Only where you finish matters.

They sort of take care of the league position...although of course it doesn't guarantee it.

I think Ancelotti is the manager to surpass our best figures for a PL season.

It certainly means less than a normal season.

Is this another thread that Dave can slyly swing into Martinez chatter?

He's a clever one is that lemon.

I just want him to beat Moyes record for a finish.

Dont care if we do it on 30 points.

If we get 22 wins and 73 points it's almost assured. Only a freak season will deny it.

Today was tough, but we didn't lose. Had too many players coming back from knocks and not quite ready for the game, at least that's how it looked to me. Coleman, Allan, Richarlison and Gomes were not at it and it affected us massively. How we do all depends on the injuries to key players.

Our Premier League record is 4th.

Thats the only number that matters.

The records we're talking about are wins and points. Please stay on topic.

No.

No.

We'll see exactly how good Ancelotti is now. He has a very good squad; our best since the 80s maybe talent wise. There's loads of goals in them.

But it'll be a great marker to see how far we;ve come under him and how far we can travel. A massive task? Yes. But we have the manager and players to do it.

Marcel Brands has done it again.

 

[davek]

Marcel Brands has done it again.

Contract Marcel? WTF has he done?

 

[Huyton Layne]

I'd rather we break our position record of 4th tbh. Don't care how many wins or points it takes.
