As we know, you can’t plan for that shit. It did, but they haven't played well for a while. Luton and us should have beaten them in the two games before them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I put some predictions together prior to the Brentford away game that had us finishing on 74 points. Based on the results since we are now tracking for 71 points - mainly down to the draw against Sheff United and loss against Newcastle. I've got us down for the following: Home Spurs - D Wolves - D Brentford - W Bournemouth - W Chelsea - W Liverpool - L Away Luton - W West Ham - D Man City - L Arsenal - L Brighton - 1 Crystal Palace - W I think that's pretty realistic rather than optimistic. Going to be tight for 4th but should be more than enough to get 5th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton would need to win 11/12. Also not happening. Edited March 1 by StefanAVFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rubberman Posted March 1 Popular Post Share Posted March 1 I can't help thinking a draw in the Manchester derby would be good (on the assumption we do our business). City, Liverpool, Arsenal all play each other over the coming weeks (and us) and in my wildly optimistic moments I'm still looking up the table and thinking we're not completely out of it yet.

(so you're telling me...jpg) Mate we are out of it, maybe not mathematically but within every reasonable metric. It will take good form just for us to hold on to fourth, as it is. The club's above is will also almost need to win every game to win the title. Not saying we couldn't get a surprise 3rd maybe but title is beyond reach imo.

DakotaVilla Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 We are not in a million years catching City and Arsenal. If anything we’d do well to maintain the current gap. Hopefully city stuff man utd 10-0 to leave their season completely in tatters and we can then confirm it’s just us v spurs in the race for fourth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not million years, we have a chance catching both, ofcourse we shall win at Luton first. Can we maintain that? It will be a huge ask. If we win against Luton then Spurs, I’d look up the table, and hopefully do a historic run. Not likely but we’ve won 8 out of 10 last season. City has tough run of games which ends playing against us. Just keep winning and see where it takes us. We need to secure CL first, but why not have a push? The thing is we shall not put it as a priority like CL or UECL. But if we found ourselves winning then just go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Our CB pairing for luton is likely to be Lenglet and Chambers …. When was the last time city lost that many points in a title run in under Guardiola? I’ll give you a clue - never. We would literally have to win every single game to have a chance and that’s not happening in a million years. Our first fight is to secure fourth. Our second is to win the Conference. After that third would be amazing but many are significantly underestimating how hard the run in is going to be because of Europa and our injuries. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Wolves have a potential Wembley semi final to look forward too. Hopefully focus starts to shift on to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Wolves are our 2a boogey man after United. Have to go back to Dec 12, 2020 on a 90th minute El Ghazi penalty for our last win over the dogheads. Since 2010, we have 5W-6D-8L in all comps against them. If we get 3 points over Wolves, I might start believing in UCL then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
