useless Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Looking at our remaining fixtures we will be doing well to average a point per game between now and the end of season. If we do manage it, fifty plus points won't be a bad progession from last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 15, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 15, 2021 Depending on domestic cup results and results in Europe, it's still possible that fifth won't get you into any European competition this season, it's blummin' unlikely but still possible. What is possible, and slightly amusing, is that when they created the Europa Conference, created for Europe's minnows, it would seem UEFA hadn't noticed how far down the Premier league you have to go in order to find a smaller club - so we're looking at an inaugural competition next season where there's a very good chance we'll be represented by Spurs or Liverpool, who would be huge favourites to win the final. That final is being held in Albania, in a stadium that holds 22,500. Imagine telling Liverpool they're getting 4,000 tickets to a European final, even a shit one. It's going to be hilarious.

If I’m reading the format correctly. I think the team from England will be favourites no matter who they are. It almost sounds like an extended version of the Intertoto cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Weird to think that having won our first four games of the season, we have only gone on to win nine of the next 26 games... feels like we have done better than that would suggest. Don’t really know what I thought of that. Guess I was surprised looking at the table just now and seeing us in 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t really know what I thought of that. Guess I was surprised looking at the table just now and seeing us in 11th. But winning 9 of 26 games isn’t that bad...extrapolate that out to a full season is 13 maybe pushing 14 wins. That’s average for a top ten season surprisingly. Season 15/16 - 9th place had 14 wins Season 16/17 - 8th place had 12 wins Season 17/18 - 7th place had 14 wins Season 18/19 - 8th place had 15 wins Season 19/20 - 8th place had 14 wins. Our problem has been turning some of those close losses into draws. We have a fairly high in the negative sense draw to loss ratio.

fightoffyour Posted April 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2021 Perfect result with the draw yesterday and now West Ham losing too, plus they’ve got Rice injured and Lingard just went off.

It’s on! A little bit of optimism never hurt did it? I can see us losing our next two tbh. Man. City is obviously understandable but not really sure a home defeat to West Brom can just be dismissed on here and elsewhere. They are scoring plenty and will have to go all out to win so that will be difficult for us as we're running out of players to counter effectively. To have any chance of finishing 8th or 9th we need 4 points off Everton anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I really think it’s looking increasingly like Wolves will finish above us. That would be so annoying considering how far they were behind us. It also shows how badly we have been doing because Wolves have also been rubbish! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have won 13 games, the most we have in the Premier League since 2010 and the 5th most this century I think its been a good season 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham getting so many plaudits but the truth is if we win our 2 games in hand (unlikely) and we won our 2 games against them (we was arguably very unlucky in both) we’d be above them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
