You do not appear to understand the term objective. Points difference is 'objective'
Performance is 'subjective'

The difference in either last season is certainly not the 'only metric' performance over the latter half of the season is another metric. Performance over three seasons is a further metric.

You are welcome to suffer in your delusion that we are closer to Forrest than Arsenal if you want but I rather think most rational commentators will consider us likely to be closer to Arsenal than to Forrest next season on virtually any objective metric you choose.

First of all it is Forest not Forrest. Second if you want to remain in a fantasy that we magically have become a team like our usual self then you are more than welcome to.

Did we perform better in second half of the season? Have people wiped their memory of our games against Arsenal, Liverpool, Madrid, PSG, Brighton, Palace at the FA Cup? We couldn’t even beat a Saudi team!

This is simple arrogance to assume that a team that scraped into a CL spot is competing with a team that was putting in a competitive performance against the CL winners.

Not accepting this reality is what keeps us stuck clinging to mediocre players hoping they will elevate to a level they have never shown to be capable of.

With Baldy, anything is possible! :-)

Tbh, the move for Ezé made me think that Bernardo would become our No 8 replacing Gundog. With his effervescence, he'd support attacks, but form a double-pivot with Rodri when defending.

However, it still wouldn't solve the Rodri situation in terms of competition & rotation. Until January 2025, our transfer actions in respect to central midfield made little sense. Hopefully, Viana has recognised this & further adjustments are being planned & made before the window shuts.

You are welcome to believe whatever you wish. A simple look at the betting odds would suggest yours' is a minority opinion and that we are closer to Arsenal than to anyone else.

I have no idea what mediocre players we are clinging to who have shown themselves incapable. Every single member of the squad who has been over one season has played a part in winning a title and most of them several..

There are probably a few whose best days are behind them but we are hardly clinging to them they have contracts.

We’ll win the league. (By “we” I mean City in case you’re unsure as I’m not sure who you’re a fan of)
 
I know I have been. disparaging about the lad, mainly due to the fact I don't see who he replaces and what the point would be in the price for a squad member, but this really does feel like he is being held hostage and made to. make a video

That abysmal spell in Nov/Dec hides reasonable form either side of it. Now I don't subscribe to the Rodri injury as the sole cause and I do think we suffer from a number of structural weaknesses. That said I will be very surprised if we fail to mount a meaningful challenge this season. We will probably fall a little short but I would think Arsenal rather than Forest will be our baseline.
 
I reckon he’ll end up a City player, eventually. Gentleman's agreement in his new deal, although i’d read the small print with the nutcase in charge

If your first point is how to spell Forest correctly, the rest mustn't be of too much importance.
