We have blown it this season & last as well.
This group of players should peak next season. With better luck with injuries we should be much more formidable. That should inform the narrative as much as any other clubs' vicissitudes of fortune. I'm sure, for example, it will be on the minds of Chelsea fans.
Dead right. Next season will be easier. The manager is on his second year, the players bedded in further, our squad will be stronger again. We have more experience in Europe and we almost certainly won't be as bedevilled with bad injury luck.

His targets will not have been 'one major trophy'. They will have been all-round improvement and that has happened. When this squad fulfils it's potential the trophies will naturally follow. Managers are evaluated on the future as much as the past.
No he hasn't, we could still end up in fourth or third place which I think will not be good enough.
But I think we'll finish 1st and win this league. Too many people think that Liverpool are going to win their last three games. I really think they will draw all three of them.
There is no way Newcastle will have the bottle to survive a seething Anfield if they need the win,no way.

if all those things come to fruition and most importantly we get a decent pre season from injury free players coming back from Brazil and our squad is improved its hard to disagree with you DD.

I'm incredibly optimistic that the jigsaw is virtually complete. It's blindingly obvious we need a centre half and also that we haven't got adequate cover for fernandinho and silva. And in January we attempted to solve those problems so the board are obviously aware. In summer we will put that right. And I think that, with a bit more turnover/tweaking, will put us at the level of the best in Europe. As long as we can keep hold of silva and aguero of course.
I am totally convinced that club is finally dead right from the top down. Khaldoon, soriano, txiki and Pellegrini. These are fucking good operators, shrewd, bright and driven. Even if we don't lift the title this year, and i haven't given up hope at all, I've seen enough to know that big trophies are coming, and plenty of them. Major upheaval is not needed. The ingredients are there.
