I'd much rather we finish above Everton to be honest. West Ham should already be top 6 from here. Edited April 12, 2021 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 12, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 12, 2021 A win here and a win against Spurs would effectively leave Everton four points clear of Tottenham with a game in hand - that'd make it pretty likely that neither Spurs or Arsenal would be in Europe next season - that would have an effect on how Arsenal and Spurs could plan and spend and put a hole in their coefficients that might matter to them both in terms of how the new FFP and Euro qualification rules are written and in the effect those new rules have on them. I'm confident we can compete with Everton over the next four or five years, what we need to do is break a couple of other teams, for me, Everton are an 'us' in the way the Premier league is currently set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see them pulling the Real Madrid tie around so its got to be the league if they want to qualify for that. Does anybody really want to be in the europa league.

I think with the way that the Premier league is opening up, the Europa league is gaining a little bit more of an attraction than it used to - qualifying for it is becoming an achievement rather than second prize - the direct financial rewards are rubbish, but it allows a club to remain relevant and supports the 'brand' in terms of other negotiations. If the coefficient becomes the mighty thing that UEFA seems to want it to be, then success in the Europa league could be very important. I want us to be in it anyway, for good old fashioned sporting reasons. Liverpool might still sneak fourth, so for me it's important that West Ham and Everton keep winning.

Rino8 Posted April 12, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2021 I think Evertons league position flatters them and has for some time, they're not doing bad obviously but this is about where they'll finish.

OutByEaster? Posted April 12, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 12, 2021 I am genuinely struggling to think of anything that has happened in the first 68 minutes of this games. It's been staggeringly dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I know Everton have a few key injuries but really has Ancelotti really moved the club on since he has been there? Look a 7-9th club. I wonder if the owners will get twitchy next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I’ve never seen a team play like a top half team 90% of the time yet end up losing as often as Brighton do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
