Tomaszk Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 If we play like that to the end of the season we get 4th. Utd are not a good side and gave ended up 9 points ahead of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viivvaa66 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Just now, M_Afro said: Thanks mate. So it is top 7 then? ManC, ManU, Brighton and Sheffield United are the teams left in the FA cup. ManC and ManU is more or less guaranteed to end up in the top6, most likely Brighton will be there too. That means if Sheffield United win the FA cup, not very likely, but if they do, it will be top 6 in the league get into Europe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool and Man U fans won’t want City to win. The football community have hated City’s cheating. The only noses out of place are their owners and the half full stadium of fans they have. In my mind the shake up is more the likes of us, Brighton, Newcastle upsetting the Top/Sky6. Within the Sky6 it’s just muchness of muchness of scum. Man City and Liverpool I suppose. Yeah, we would upset it massively. My comments weren’t particularly long gestated on… I suppose I should’ve just said ‘would annoy Man City and Liverpool’ ah well.

VillaJ100 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 1 minute ago, brummybloke said: Spurs were on 23 points after 11 games Chelsea 20 Newcastle 18 Us 9 If going by league on 30th Oct 22 (day after we lost to Newcastle, Danks last game) Spurs had 26, Newcastle 24, Man U 23, Chelsea 21, Brighton 18, us on 12 after 18 games.

Marka Ragnos Posted April 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2023 Can we please dream a little now and foolishly pretend we're definitely going to play in Europe this autumn. Who would feel excited about in terms of likely Europa opponents? Betis? Villarreal? Leverkeusen? Inter? Sparta Rotterdam? Lille? Union Berlin?

robby b Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 A fine margin that could perhaps help us a little is if the Brighton v Man Utd FA Cup semi goes to extra time next Sunday, hopefully. Especially with Brighton: they then have to play in the league the following Wednesday. For United it's the following Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be guaranteed 4th it would need to be about 70pts,which would mean winning all our remaining games. I can't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) I think Man Utd are too far away for us now, we would need to make up 9-10 points over the next 7 games, I just don’t see that happening, it’s a tall order even if we win all 7 matches and get 21 points. I think third place is locked in now. Next weekend is huge. If Spurs can beat Newcastle, and we can beat Brentford, we are only 3 points from fourth place, that is touching distance! Brighton don’t play, so they will have 3 games in hand on us and Spurs. Liverpool play Leeds tomorrow and Forest next week, they may be 6 points better off and only 3 points behind us with a game in hand by the end of next weekend. At this stage, it’s about staying in contention each week, and holding our nerve. I really didn’t see us beating Newcastle yesterday, that win has given us a slim chance of the impossible. As I say, if we can beat Brentford, and Spurs can beat Newcastle, things are interesting going into the following midweek fixtures. We have Fulham, Spurs host Man Utd, Newcastle visit Everton. We could be level on points with both Spurs and Newcastle after that midweek round if they both lose. This is assuming all results go our way, and if they did, my concern would probably be Liverpool sneaking into 4th with a late run. Brighton have lots of games in hand and it’s hard to know how they will cope with it. Lots of IFs, but it’s great to dream though!

We just need to win our next 2 games, and hope Spurs beat Newcastle and that Spurs and Newcastle both then lose to Man Utd and Everton the following midweek. Then we are level on points with them both (with an inferior goal difference) and we just need to better them by one point in the remaining 5-6 games. It’s not impossible, as long as the next couple of weeks of results go our way. Liverpool (and Brighton) will be saying the same though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchmefoot Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I put a £10 bet on Villa to be top 6 before the season started @ 7/1. After Gerrard's last game, they were offering a cash out of 13p. After Emery's first few games £1.27, back to 37p after our 3 losses and £4.43 after our run up to last weeked. After Newcastle, £10.61 (Finally in profit ) Now expecting £80 at the end of the season.
