MrBlack Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 3 hours ago, sheepyvillian said: Why would it be "Absolutely Scandalous?" It looks like a foregone conclusion that we will, but even if we were to finish, say, 5th and win the ECL, it would still be one hell of an achievement. We would undoubtedly feel aggrieved somewhat, but I don't see how it would be "Scandalous," after all, nothing is guaranteed. Scandalous because we've maintained top 4 form for well nearly 2 full seasons, and it would only be down to unfortunate sequencing that means we don't finish top 4 in either of those seasons. I'm not saying it would be a failure, just scandalously shit luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you get, "Nearly 2 full seasons" from? We was nowhere near the top 4 last season. We were close to relegation when Gerrard left and then by the brilliance of Unai managed to get the last spot for Europe. We have been virtually top 4 all this season, but 2 full seasons, I don't think so. I see what you mean. I missed the word "Form." Apologies.

By the end of the season it will be 63 games, and by that time we'll likely have made over 15 more points that the team that averaged the 5th highest amount of points in the same time frame. And probaly 20 more than Spurs. If we somehow finish below them it would be bad luck. I'm not saying there's an excuse for it if we do, just bemoaning our misfortune. We definitely deserve a reward for what Emery has performed with this squad. 5th place and europa league would be nice, but not quite what I think our form has deserved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the league table at the end of the season tells it's own story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 After the Chelsea game Tottenham will have 3 games in hand over us, big pressure that. Personally think they'll go a bit Spursy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 If spurs navigate those games in hand with the fixtures they have and make it a straight shootout with Burnley/SU as their last 2 then fair enough tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think they'll go a bit Spursy. They just don't possess the ability from a psychological aspect to win all their games in hand. It's ours to lose more than it's theirs to win, by a long, long way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted April 24 VT Supporter Share Posted April 24 The way the fixtures are scheduled it's conceivable that Liverpool will be just trying to hand in the title race when they play Tottenham but out of it when they play us. Also double whammy of them losing to Arsenal this weekend would mean City still need to keep going right until the last week when they also play Spurs.
