The none miserable bastards thread

That’s not what you said, you said we don’t find our groove until late December when we found our groove immediately in:
2016-17
2017-18
2018-19
2021-22
2022-23
2023-24

It was only as we got into the season after a few months in all of them that we dipped a bit (apart from 2017-18 where our worst run wasn’t until April).

We’ve almost always started like a house on fire under Pep. There have been a few seasons where we’ve played well all season.

There was only 2019-20 where we started poorly and never caught up and 2020-21 where we started terribly and then did find our groove in December that we haven’t started in a good groove.
I find it mildly interesting that 2 of the 3 seasons happened after Euro Championship/Copa summers
I would have expected more of a drop off after WC summers to be honest?
More of our "fringe" players not involved at WCs??
In 2019-20 and 2020-21 did we have a bigger turnover of players, or lose a couple of influential players and needed to bed others in?? Or indeed had certain players gone over the top in terms of age?
Shows football goes in cycles - and we should be patient
 
Honestly if we could grab one solid up and coming midfielder in January, we would likely have as good of chance as anybody.
 
Why can’t people let people openly discuss things that are reasonable talking points that aren’t quite skipping through the tulips, holding hands and throwing flower petals in the air while singing ‘ladidadida’ on a forum without being branded ‘miserable bastards’?
Because too many people don’t understand what a forum is.
 
All I have to do to feel good about our situation is:
1) watch that Villa game this afternoon
2) look at the league table 7 games in and reflect on those 9 points :D

Oh happy days. Life is nowhere near as dire as people on here would have you think!!!

ooh new target for the season... lets go for double the rags points total... feels achievable too
 
That’s a myth.
2020-21 was the only season we went on a good run from December onwards.

We usually start well and end well.
Only 2019-20 and 2020-21 where that didn’t happen under Pep.
Ffs you should be high fiving fivercider not correcting him, get with the thread ;-)
