    Maybe their bus will break down and they'll forfeit...

    I guess the team picks itself out of those left standing. Any chance that Youri or Zaniolo are back for this?

    Does anyone think we'll get another point this season? If so, which game?

    Made the mistake of putting talkshite on... "pundits" who are Chelsea and Spurs fans saying that we don't deserve top 4... saying West Ham are better than us for winning the Conference League.... failing to take into account that West Ham almost got relegated because they prioritised Europe... failing to take into account our injuries and fixture schedule, failing to take into account that they have been relatively poor this year despite having much larger squads and a lesser fixture list.... another reason why I want us to get top 4 over the line #rocket polishers

    I hope so

    If we keep this to a 3 goal loss I'll be surprised....

    I personally care more about getting top 4 over the line....I'm gutted that we came so far to fall at this stage in the Europa Conference... but long term, it's more important for the sustainability of competing at the pointy end, to get champion's league football. We won the Championship playoff trophy in recent years, so younger fans have seen us lift something. Getting Champions league football means that we can keep our best players and even attract better players to do perform well in the future... I don't think winning the Conference would've attracted top players to come to us.

    Including Spurs beating Burnley, City and Sheffield and us losing our last two...

    Tino pai e hoa! I've also scored the year off work to improve my Te Reo... getting to watch more football... which is usually a good thing....

    That line doesn't look parallel to the half-way line.... Fair play to Olympiacos... with the money gained from reaching the final, their owner will be be able to spend more on smuggling in heroin... sorry, allegedly smuggling in heroin...

    I don't get where the confidence comes from? I've seen nothing in 3.5 games to suggest we'll get anything against a Liverpool side playing freely and a Palace side 2nd in the form table. If someone has seen anything from Villa that I've missed inthe past 3.5 games then they've got better eyesight from me... Burnley COULD get something against Spurs but I totally agree... it's down the City game... Whilst 5th wouldn't be a bad season, and would be an improvement on last year, I feel that it's make or break to get 4th. We won't get this opportunity again and we'll have to sell our better players if we don't get it across the line...

    Last 3.5 games we have been woeful... it's not about proportioning blame, its just a fact... I personally don't see where another point comes from this season.... so it's down to Spurs not getting 7 points.. if they do, they'll finish 4th.... No champions leauge for us, I fear that we will be asset stripped before the start of next season; Chelsea and others will improve, and we'll never get this chance again....

    I don't think we can afford to lose by 3 or more goals against Liverpool... if Spurs draw against City they can easily turn our goal difference around..... We have to try and put top 4 to bed in the Liverpool game.... of course, Burnley could play their part.... If we play like we have in the past 3.5 games we'll be lucky to get anything from Liverpool or Palace...

    I'd have to go back several pages on here but it was definitely mentioned... nothing I've seen from Spurs or Man City recently suggest the result will be anything but a City victory but you never know...

    I back Emery to get the best from Buendia too.
  21. ben1505
    This ref we have is card happy apparently so I'd be nervous about Duran playing.... hopefully the ref jumps on Olympiacos players who will no doubt be time wasting and diving around, feigning injuries....
  22. ben1505
    Whatever result happens at Old Stratford between Manure and the Arse, City will want to go full tilt against Spurs... there's been talk of them being happy with a draw if Arse draw/lose at Old Stratford but I don't see it myself... there's no merit in drawing v Spurs.. they can win the league at Spurs then rotate players in their final home game before the FA cup game.

    Emery kept his cards close to his chest during his press conference, when asked a few times about Martinez's avaiability... read into that what you will?

    Isn't the 6 the number of yellow cards he gave?
