No way Lester are going to catch us with their remaining fixtures and our remaining fixtures ..Europe here we come .

It certainly looks like it!
The qualifying games start on July 26 then Aug 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30.
Hope we get more than two.
We have already booked the hotel in Baku.
Therein lies the problem with the Europa League, our pre-season thrown into turmoil. We have two games for sure, July 26 and August 2nd, one at home, the other god knows where in Europe. We might have games on the 9th and 16th August, or we might not, but we won't know until the 2nd August, if we do then we might have games on the 23rd and 30th August, or we might not, we won't know until the 16th August.
What a mess, what a fecking shambles, our pre-season normally all planned out and well arranged will be total chaos, it can't be otherwise, we don't know how many games we'll be playing, could be two, could be four, could be six. We could certainly do without it, best of luck sorting that lot out Sean.
It looks like the silly buggers are going for it....
The Prem starts on 11th August, the transfer window slams shut on August 9th. We will have players recovering from the World Cup.
A logistical nightmare.
We are at least a year away from being able to handle all this without compromising our form in the Prem.
One more win from our last 3 fixtures should be enough. I would love to rain on Arsene’s parade with a win at the Emirates.
Stop being wusses!
We have previously had pre-season camps in Austria and Ireland.
Now we are playing competitive football instead of daft friendlies.
Give the likes of Wells and Taylor some proper game time too!
Might force Mike Garlick to release another £20 million to bolster the squad numbers, which can't be all bad can it?
