I expected us to finish 5th but within 15 points of the top and to clear 70 points. This projection is a bit less than I hoped points wise so hopefully we can add a couple more points somewhere. I can't see Man City coming 2nd though so there's definitely wiggle room in that table. It doesn't take into account injuries etc. Form teams are in. Whether they are fighting for something etc. Playing Palace now or last game of the season may be a different proposition, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're big favourites for 4th now though 5th probably gets CL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DakotaVilla Posted April 1 Popular Post Share Posted April 1 Man Utd have Chelsea away and Liverpool at home in the next week. If they win both of those and we only get one point out of man city and Brentford we will still effectively be 7 points ahead with 6 games remaining. Any discussion regarding Man Utd will hopefully be confirmed as being academic come the end of the weekend. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 While we're chatting Utd's remaining games the rearranged game at home to Sheff Utd is midweek between Cov in the semi and Burnley at home, Other than that they have Bournemouth and Palace, same as we do, With a game to rearrange against Newcastle and Arsenal and Brighton. I'm not worried about Utd personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Spurs are just as likely to beat a City or Arsenal as they are to lose to Sheff United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said Brentford's point was important as otherwise that would be 2 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul514 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 look when it comes down to it, Spurs have less games to play than us and arguably easier games. That makes them favourites. With so few games to go anything can happen and it will all be clearer in a couple of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Man United are out of it now, but he is saying that they wouldn't have been had they won at Brentford. Which I agree with. Thankfully, they didn't so it's irrelevant.

omariqy Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 How they played at Brentford is exactly why so many are confident of 5th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 It would be typical man utd this season to somehow shit house a win v Liverpool but then lose to sheff Utd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Those 6 points against Manure would have made everything a little easier. we need to take each game as it comes and take the opportunities that present themselves within them. If we play well against City then we have to take chances as and when they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it would have been 9 points with a game in hand v Sheff U, so effectively 6 points with 9 games to go. Although it still would have been a tough ask, you couldn't have ruled them out of the race in that scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man U could easy shit their way through dodgy reffing and VAR to 2 wins while we're playing those matches and suddenly were level on points and above them on goal difference. It's not probable but if any poisonous cyst of a club would do it it would be those turds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with the confidence of a last minute away winner at Brentford? They certainly would have been still in the race and that is all the chap above was saying. Maybe it's you that needs a lie down. Anyway, no point debating that one, we will never know, as it didn't play out thay way thankfully. Edited April 1 by GlobalVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
