I think you’ve actually forgotten what your original point even was. You said it was close between their team and our team quality wise. Never is and never was. So yeah it was silly.
Will we finish above Newcastle?

Insensitive and dangerous.
Insensitive and dangerous.To be fair there are plenty of absolute stupid takes in this pitiful thread.
But this one made me laugh when discussing Newcastle:
Yes they won't keep up this form but we don't have the quality to put a big run together ourselves either because we're severely lacking in attack.
Sometimes people need to just not make predictions.

It clearly wasn't silly, ridiculous or stupid, particularly before Casemiro and Antony when i made the post you responded to.
Take casemiro and Antony out. The best XIs still aren’t close.
I get that we’re on an upwards trajectory but to underestimate any opponent in a cup final is pure ignorance.
Fair play to you to for not taking the clown approach like @Leftback99 who’s trying to somehow look like he was right
Indeed, some people are really on a mission to make our fanbase look like Arse's. Dumb attitude altogether.
Saint-Maximim will tear us apart if we're as open to the counter as we were in the 1st half against both Leicester and Barcelona.
They'll be quite a number of teams who finish above them. They'll finish around 7th or 8th.
Agreed. And he always seems to raise his game when playing us
This thread has taught me that none of us are capable of predicting anything early on in a 38 game season.
Petition to change thread title to 'Will we finish above Liverpool?'
Can you see it yet?
I’d bite your hand off for a 4th placed finish right now.
We have been absolutely abysmal for so long and our luck has seemingly run out.

Oh dear, you’re getting giddy again.
You’re still trying to convince yourself they have a better squad. Not one of their starting line up gets into our best lineup.
Yes
Yes, because despite that result we are better than them. They’ve raised their game today and fair play to them but we have better players, better manager and most importantly, we as a football club aren’t famous for nothing more than simply taking our shirts off in the stands like simpletons.
Nope I said it was close (before Casemiro and Antony were bought). You said it was stupid. I'm a clown no less. We're below them after 27 games.
Absolute nonsense.
It’s not close when none of their players get in our best team. The only one who has a chance is Trippier.
By your logic, Brentford have a better squad than Liverpool and Chelsea.
Who gets in?
Isak and Bruno would walk in to our starting XI.
Isak, Trippier, Bruno, Pope. At least 4.
Bruno doesn’t get in ahead of Casemiro. Isak doesn’t over a fully fit martial.
Not sure how this reasoning works though. Weird thing to say after we've just lost convincingly to them, not by a fluke goal or something.
We they've conceded far less goals and scored the same as us over the same amount of games. I don't know how you can none of them get in our team, at least half would IMO.
Isak is miles better than Martial, even a fit Martial.
Bruno is getting in to the team alongside Casemiro then. He's one of the best players in the league.
They are literally above us in the league after 27 games. So clearly it wasn't a ridiculous suggestion was it? I was spot on.
Or are you saying Ten Hag isn't getting the best out of what we have?
Now that’s being ridiculous. Some of you forgetting who we have missing. Casemiro, Eriksen, Martial have been huge losses.
Yes, we will. We just need Eriksen and Cas back.
Being above a team in the league doesn’t make them have a better squad by default. You don’t even know what point you are making half the time.
Madness. Isak is outright better than Martial, and there's no such thing as a "fully fit" Martial. He's a permacrock who can't be relied upon.
I don’t think we will. 12 points from 27 in league since beating City at OT.
Looking at our remaining 11 games I’d be surprised if we get more than 18-20 points.
I think we will do well in Europa though and think we have more chance of getting CL by winning that.
Will be close call between 3rd and 6th I reckon but I believe we will bottle it because the mentality of this squad is still very weak.

We absolutely will.
I know exactly what point I made. You clearly don't as you're still babbling about 'better squads'.
Thanks for proving my point.
Based on games this season between the sides I was spot on.
Who is fully fit Martial? Never heard of him.
It proves the point you’re getting giddy again. Their best XI is not as good as ours despite how much you try to convince yourself. Let’s not forget you also thought Maguire was good enough for us too.
