Possibly, but we thought that a few years ago, and then......
Arsenal 1 - 2 Birmingham

But of all the seasons to be in it, next season would be. Obviously I want to see in the CL, but thats looking a dream too far now, but if not CL, I want us in the EL, especially now the winners go into CL 4th qual rd.
Been considering what Rösler could go on to achieve recently. His record in Norway was average, but it's been a neverending success at Brentford and Wigan. Certainly doesn't take **** from anyone and has the right ideas.
Brentford manager Uwe Rosler admits that he likes getting his hands dirty during training sessions as he doesn’t want to just sit in an office.
The Bees boss has an eye for detail and takes a keen interest in all aspects of the play, especially in the build-up to a match day.
“I think I’m very much hands on,” he told London24. “I’ll lead several training sessions in the week.
“I’ll leave training sessions to [coaches] Alan Kernaghan and Peter Farrell. Certain bits they’ll lead and in certain parts I’ll be in charge, especially a short time before.
“On a Thursday or Friday I’ll have 45 minutes each day that I’m coaching the team.
“The rest of the days I’m leaving things to my assistants and observing things more.
“I’m not a manager who sits in the office. I like to work with the players. I like to work individually with players and that was always my maxim.
“We have a sporting director who is dealing with a lot of off-field issues which gives me more time to work with the players and that is what I’m used to and what I wish to do in the future.”
Some football managers are seen looking to other sports for inspiration into improving their techniques.
Indeed, England manager Roy Hodgson has said he will hold discussions with his cricket counterpart, Andy Flower, as well as successful Lions coach Warren Gatland.
But Rosler is not taking specifics from other sports into his thinking – instead he is looking at football as a whole in terms of finding ways to improve.
“I’m not looking at basketball or ice hockey or hockey and taking techniques or formations of things into football,” he said. “I’m not doing that.
“I study the tendency in football and orientate myself on the best in international football.
“I like to analyse what is happening in the European Championships, World Cup, Champions League.
“Are there tendencies to how teams play, [try to] find if that is the right way for us to play and giving us success and [if] we change football. It’s an ongoing process.
“You’ll always have to find new ways. You find ways in terms of training, formations, style of play.”
Middlesex batting coach Mark Ramprakash revealed to London24 that the county have had sprinting experts come in to give structured advice.
Rosler, however, trusts the club’s sports science department to get things right and he admitted that he learns from them as he refines his art of managing and coaching.
“We have a sports science department and I leave it to them,” he said.
“We have quality people in Brentford - the head of medical, head of analysis, head of sport science.
“[They work] in cooperation with me, in terms of agreeing the way we’re coaching, training or treating our players.
“I’ll be giving all those departments confidence and trust and let them do their jobs. As long as I feel we have a very good communication between the units I’ll be very happy.
“I’m concentrating more on the football part but I want to be involved and have input in how we train and how we analyse things.
“I think it’s very important to give them room to expose themselves and express themselves.”
Rosler is clearly enjoying life in the Brentford hotseat and there is nothing better, in his eyes, than seeing his ideas put into practice on a match day.
He said: “I enjoy working with the players, seeing the players improve and [seeing] the hard work that we put in daily paying off in terms of how we want to play.
“It’s the most pleasant thing, seeing that transferred onto the field.”
The former Emirates Marketing Project striker’s management career started in Norway in 2005 with Lillestrom.
After working at Viking (2006-2009) and Molde (2010) he moved back to England and was appointed by the Bees in 2011.
While some managers might try to liken themselves to a particular body of inspiration, Rosler just looks to take the best bits from people he respected.
He said: “I always try to find people that I respect very much, who did very well in life or in the game, but I always try to take things out that they did very well.
“I never try to copy somebody. If you do that you’re only ever going to be second best.
“I always try to find my own identity and style. I selected a small group of people where I took advice on board.
“You can’t listen to everybody as a player or a manager. I had a small group of players that I searched advice from and discussed things with.”
His playing and management career came either side of a battle with chest cancer and he took inspiration from Lance Armstrong as he was recovering.
Rosler used to wear the Livestrong wristband, made famous by the American and his charity organisation, but removed it after the disgraced former cyclist admitted to extensive doping in order to win seven consecutive Tour de France titles.
“I think it was very much due to the fact that Lance Armstrong gave me a lot of courage with his books,” he admitted.
“He gave me inspiration when I was sick. I remember the first book I got. I’m not a bookworm but I think I did it in two or three days.
“It was fascinating to see someone who had gone through the same thing.
“That was the reason I had the Livestrong [wristband] on and supported it but after the revelation I changed my opinion about it.”
Rosler was speaking at the launch of the Brentford branded 65 bus, which promotes the value of the club’s ticketing policy (£35 for a family of four).
Speaking about the scheme, the Bees boss said: “We had that last year.
“It’s important that we get the bond with the local people and the local businesses to advertise and promoting Brentford FC.
“I think that it went down very well last year and we saw that more people came throughout the season.
“It’s very important that we carry on the good work from last year and find new ways to promote Brentford FC.
“It should be the aim to fill the stadium in normal circumstances. You see the average attendance has improved. It’s a significant improvement. We have to aim high and convince people through good football and good results but also good ideas, like pay what you want.
“We always have to find new ways to attract people into Griffin Park. We have to increase the cash coming into the club.
“We’re relying very much on [owner] Matthew Benham and we need to find new ways to bring in money.”
Rosler also revealed a little known fact about himself – he knows how to drive a bus.
“I did my driving license in some sort of German army,” he said.
“I wasn’t in the army but some sort of army people did their driving license and people from the outside could join in.
“I learnt to drive lorries, buses but I never did it outside my driving licence.”

I'd love to know what amount Levy has squirrelled away so far for the stadium project. The land grab must have been expensive but I sincerely hope our frugality in the transfer market has some upside in that the funding for the stadium has at least been partially met.

WTF this is bad news, it means AFC could actually win the FA Cup !!!

Not if they have to play Wigan. They have done a number on City tactically and they would only have to tweak it a little bit for Arsenal.

I think AFC would win easily, be funny if they got to the final and like Brum lose it late on to say Sheff Utd or Hull
This season. You just have to laugh. Cannot explain how Wigan can do this yet they can stick 11 past us. Really need to look ourselves long and hard. Been a ridiculous season
