If we can make the top 3 and win a Cup, it will be a success.
The League Title would be a fantastic bonus.
Let's see !! YNWA!!
no it wont!!we are not spurs,everton,newcastle or chelsea.winning the championship is a success,anything else would be deemed a failure.unfortunately now,winning the champions league would be considered a bonus
After the 2001-2002 season where we finished 2nd, nothing less than the championship would do for me. That was the next logical step after the "treble" season and getting into the champions league.
But Houllier and his under-achieving team let us down last season.
Last season was a major disappointment. We finished 5th !!!
We have bought a few good players (Kewell, Finnan)...forget about the French gems...they will take time to adjust to the English game. Look how long it is taking Diouf & Cheyrou !
So with the marginal improvement in our squad I can't honestly see us winning the championship. I don't expect it to happen in the new season.
Which is why I said that the Championship would be a big unexpected bonus.
BTW Chelsea and Newcastle both finished above us last season, so we have some catching up to do.
Spurs & Everton can't even dream of getting into the Champions League.
