Popular Post Don_Simon Posted April 10 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 10 A few years ago we were watching the dregs of the Premier League, even the plug hole of The Championship, hoping other teams would do us a favour so we wouldn't be relegated. We're now watching City v Real Madrid and Bayern v Arsenal hoping favours can be done so we can play those teams, with that anthem, next year. Levels my friends, levels. Its worth reminding ourselves of this every now and again, before the next pre / during / post game meltdown occurs. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) What’s chances of West Ham beating a Bayer team that has already won the league and took the pedal off the gas a little ? Took them 2 stoppage time goals to beat a 10 man Qarabag team. Bayer and Dortmund getting knocked out would mean 5th is ours right ?

DakotaVilla Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 It would be a shock if Leverkeusen don’t get through. It’s fine if they progress if Bayern and Dortmund get knocked out. As a minimum we need Liverpool, Villa and Man City to progress. If Arsenal knock out Bayern as well it’s pretty much done bar the shouting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham are a dodgy matchup for most teams that wants to play football. They haven't taken the foot off the pedal plus Qarabag would be better than any team we played in Europe so far Bowen looks to be out for West Ham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to suffer the inevitable Arsenal defeat, keep our cool (fans and players alike) then finish the job. Two wins out of the remaining should see us out of Uniteds grasp even if they go on a run.

While I think there is a high chance of Arsenal winning I don’t think it’s ‘no chance’. Arsenal will drop points before the end of the season and probably in unlikely places and I wouldn’t put it past Emery to tactically out think Arteta. Our propensity to concede goals goes against that probability but if we perform as we know we can then anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been amazed by the intensity Arsenal have played at all season without too much rotation. The home crowd seems to give them a lift too. I’d be amazed if we got anything from this game but with them having Bayern a few days later you’d think Arteta would make some changes. They also score a lot of goals from set pieces and we seem to concede a lot from them. A point would be a great result. Either way I still think we finish 5th and make champs league that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted April 10 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10 (edited) West Ham getting a draw in the home leg only wouldn't be a bad result from that tie. Even if they get smashed tonight, they could manage a draw or a narrow win at home like Brighton did against Roma. Cue the bed wetting when the expected result happens tomorrow.

C'Mon you Iron, Gunning, Armband wearing Citizen w***ers. Some more than others I think it’s fair to say. I’m somewhere in the middle I think. I don’t actively want the English clubs to lose as much as I normally do, but I don’t know if that equates to me wanting them to win. I’m taking a what will be, will be stance, I guess. Edit - I’d rather we just finish fourth. Simpler. Edited April 10 by Mark Albrighton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want them all to win up to the point the extra CL place is confirmed. Then they can all lose 8-0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 It’s quite realistic we have an English club win all 3 euro comps, that would be quite awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
