They probably don't want to show it on a CL night as it will get good viewing figures so could see it being put on a Thursday. Met are probably waiting to see if West Ham get through as they wouldn't want to police both games on the same night, same for Arsenal aswell. Will be played in early May would be my guess.

StewieGriffin Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Question about long term CL qualification - presumably UEFA are having this qualification system every season? So 5th might be enough every season if English teams are in the top 2 coefficient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - it’s going to create a self fulfilling cycle - but that’s good for the competition if more top prem teams are in it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal difference is historically a very good indicator of final league position. Look at the table, and barring a few anomalies - Man Utd being the biggest - you can sort the PL by GD without much changing. Essentially, as we can already see, they are in a falsely high position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 The positive for us about spurs is they only know one way of playing - 100 miles per hour. These derbies v west ham, Chelsea and Arsenal are going to be combustible and hopefully the fixture congestion in the final few weeks will catch up with them and at the very least balance out our additional European fixtures. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they've been fortunate to have gone out of both cups early as well (as have we, frustrating as it was). Im not sure they'll cope well with Europe, cups and league next season playing that way. Could end up being next season's Newcastle with a load of injuries Edited March 31 by StewieGriffin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 That’s pretty much guaranteed, there’s a reason why Guardiola, Emery etc don’t play that way and it’s because they know it’s not sustainable. Bielsa, Howe, Ange are all cut from a similar cloth. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Manchester City haven't beaten a top 5 team all season. Really hope that doesn't end on Wednesday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham is a horrible match up for them. Moyes will play about 8 back and then spring counters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I can't claim to predict everything that will happen in the Brentford game but I'm pretty sure that Neil Maupay will wind zaniolo and Duran up to breaking point and they will both get sent off for attempted murder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I think we're due another performance and will record a big win against someone soon. Diaby, Watkins, Duran, Bailey, Rogers, Zaniolo, Ramsey, McGinn, Luiz, if they all put it together at the same time it will be well cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly this, partly first game back after internationals with less than a weeks prep. How many teams played well this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
