Let's face it, this has got last 16 exit to Real Madrid written all over it.

Let's face it, Bunny (and Hemp) won us points that we wouldn't otherwise have got. We generally have the forward power to outscore weaker teams, but against anybody good, we invariably end up being dominated.

Pretty much sums up the season. You can mention injuries as much as you like, but we've been poor defensively and poor out of possession.

Underwhelming is the one word review. 2-0 flattered us. Pritchard chance at the end the only time we got close. Any way, the 3rd place play off is where it is at!

I must have missed this, but when did Roy Hodgson become Spurs boss?

Good grief is Eriksen still there? I'd forgotten all about him... It's not written that he'll come off the bench and... let's not go there. COYS (for one night only)

You'd think that ourselves and Bayern should make the semis. Keating might fancy herself getting on the scoresheet given the size of the pitch! Nice goal from Aemu, and good to see Poppy on the pitch (albeit briefly).

Doubt it - did well at the beginning at Villa and then became decidedly average. Could be Liverpool, as I think I saw Denmark's manager who we have been linked with was also on their radar.

You'd think he would have studied all potential takers for a possible penalty shootout. Maybe we should have subbed on Echeverri and got him to take it as he was the one who might not have been on his radar!

That's correct re Chelsea finishing 7th. Not sure about Chelsea 6th and Newcastle 7th. Surely then Chelsea just qualify for the Europa via the league spot and Newcastle get the Conference via their League Cup win. (So in that specific case 7th doesn't actually give you a European spot; e.g. if...

It was a schrodinger result. Forest now motivated to beat Chelsea (good), but Bournemouth can still qualify for Europe and hence more motivated (bad). (Chelsea finish 7th and win Conference League I think opens up 8th as a euro-spot.)

Only English team to beat Chelsea this season... yeah! Just need Barca to do the expected on Saturday and we can add 'the only non-Spanish team to beat Barca' to make it a double! (Small beer I know, but that's where we're at this season)

I thought at the time Pep renewed last year that it was probably time for a change, due to the size of the squad rebuild required. I was then (and still am) fully on board the Iraola train. Certainly my preference would be for a young hungry manager.

Could do with Forest winning now to keep them with an incentive to beat Chelsea

Spot on. He's basically a more expensive Sergio Gomez (who would probably have played quite a bit if he'd have stayed this season). Hope Nunes plays tomorrow though - he deserves it on performances this season.

The original sin was going into last season 2 defenders light (first choice left back and a better first choice back up centre half) and 2 midfielders light (first choice 6/8 to play alongside Yui and a back-up in that position.) The signings in January improved the situation, but there wasn't...

99% agree. After a new coach, getting a replacement is top of the summer to do list. Going to be very difficult to get a player of matching quality. The 1% of disagreement is "nobody had a good season". For me, if we ask the question "were they better than the year before?" I'd say Mary Fowler...

Agree... but conceding 8 goals in the back-to-back games against the ragettes & the arsettes especially as 5 of them were gifts is what really annoyed me. Others may have been more optimistic than I was at the start of the season, but having no adequate cover for Yui and Alana Kennedy as the...

Hi I've lurked for a while here, but I've finally got around to registering... It is true that points dropped to Everton + West Ham were annoying, but only Chelsea dropped fewer points to "the bottom 8". It was 2 points from 18 against the top 3 and conceding 2 goals + in all 6 of those matches...
