Our best players this season were all signed when we were in or had been around the relegation zone.
Now we are an established PL club again and back in Europe.
No reason why we can't attract some very good players to the club.
Even if we made it to the CL we were never going to be competing for players with Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Real, Barcelona PSG etc etc.

Yes disappointed as I am with what could have been, we are a more attractive proposition than 12 months ago. Hopefully the owners and coach can sell another year of progression to the targets. Wonder if Villa or Man Utd have to sell, can we pick up another Anderson type signing to kick things off.

It was the same lap of honour we have done the last 2 seasons, just grated this time the way it ended on disappointment (which is weird since we finished 7th) rather than the relief of survival.
Last 2 seasons we made Palace and Burnley wait half an hour for their own lap of appreciation so we can hardly blame Chelsea for doing the same. Thought they managed the game well yesterday without resorting to blatant cheating, their own delight at the end showed how tough it was.

What a wank end to the season.
