Very important pyschological victory needed. Must put Wembley hoodoo away. We've all seen how West Ham have failed playing away from Upton Park and it's an easy excuse for players to hang their hats on when things go wrong.

Sacrilege sir, have you not got the memo that finishing among the losers ( top four) is the only thing that matters.

Everyone harks on about you need CL to attract the players. Man U and Chelsea both outbid us when we were CL and they were not.
Ask a player if he would like to retire with FA Cup and EL medals to show for their career, or the warm satisfaction of having finished in the top four on more than one occasion. Fans have truly been brainwashed, and turned into sheep.

FA Cup and the league for me. FA is more achievable than the Europa and the league is our bread and butter, consolidating top 4 would represent a great season.

Our average in the EL is last 16 usually so we'd only get two more games at Wembley anyway.

Even that ought to be better than nothing, although I thought we were supposed to be better than our average these days....

I'm just not sure the Premier League is conducive to being successful and also doing well in the EL as most of the teams from England that go far tend to struggle in the league. It's not so bad in leagues like Italy and Spain as there are a lot of Sunday games anyway and it's as physically demanding.

Yeah, I get that, but I'd worry more about us going into next season still carrying some sort of mental block about playing at Wembley. Strange things can happen.

Well IF we take it more seriously then we have in previous seasons we could go further then the last 16 ( we have the players to do that).
Is it for definite we are playing at Wembley next season? I thought we just had the OPTION to play league games there next season, maybe Ive missed confirmation we will be playing there....

What does that even mean?
Cementing ourselves as a top 4 club by finishing there again this season, rather than just coming top 4 once every few years?

More gobbledygook!
Apparently Janssen and Lamela the only absentees in training. Real shame for Janssen as he really needs game time.

Winning the FA Cup and finishing in top 4 should not be beyond us.

That's what I had understood as well. I'm fairly sure when CL at Wembley was announced for this season, it was also mentioned then that we had negotiated the "option" for 2017-2018. Although I interpreted the reason for it being an 'option' was just in case something drastic happened with the build and we weren't ready to move out - which seems unlikely now.

It may not have been set in stone 100%, but it seems to have been taken as read that the 'option' will be exercised. Levy is not one to show his hand until he has to, though. Perhaps if he thinks it is going to turn into an issue, we'll see other options revived. That could be quite interesting in itself.
