Where does midtable start and finish? 6 extra points has us up to 5th. Cause we’re a David Luiz knee hair and one of Saka’s toe nails away from having that.
What if we continue our post christmas form into next season? Haven’t we been fourth since ESR was introduced? What if we even improve on it? What if Xhaka doesnt call “white ball, corner pocket” before kicking it off Wood at Burnley? What if Pepe doesn’t headbut Allioski? What if Xhaka doesn’t grab whoever it was by the throat? What if our goal against Leicester isn’t ruled out? What if Burnley’s hand ball gets called? What if our penalty against Everton stands and Leno doesn’t throw it into our net? What if? What if? What if? Etc.
Unfortunately for us, and luckily for you, none of those went in our favour. So you get to tell us we are in 8th or 9th or 10th or 11th or 12th, but if all we do in the offseason is cut Xhaka’s hands off, then we’ll already be in better shape than what we started this season in; unless of course that means we get a full season of forum favourite Dani Ceballos starting games for us. Small margins, init.
