MaVilla Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) 6 minutes ago, mrchnry said: Is 6th the lowest we can finish now? Mathematically yes. but Manure would need to average 2.6 PPG just to match our current point total of 66 points. However, due to the GD, they would need 67 to overtake us, so thats actually 2.8 PPG to reach 67 points. i think its almost certain that Manure cant get 2.8 PPG for their final 5 games, thats 14 points, and would actually need 5 wins, as you cant not win them all and average 2.8ppg, and thats assuming we dont pick up even 1 more point before the end of the season. i would say 5th is the lowest we can finish. hopefully i havent set Manure up for a 5 game winning run and we collapse to 4 losses......as thats really the only way they can overtake us.

Popular Post Ceemo Posted April 24 Popular Post Share Posted April 24 With that defeat for Newcastle, that means Europa League football is confirmed as a minimum. Once again a brilliant achievement. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again a brilliant achievement. thats a good point! it is a huge achievement in itself (Europa League), in a way its just that we have done so well in the last 18 months we are all hoping for CL, but if you step back, Europa league is a massive, massive achievement in of itself, its just our....expectations?.....have peaked a bit. to think where we were in Oct/Nov 2022 compared to now, its like an alternate universe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again a brilliant achievement. Every single person on this forum would've signed up for that at half 7 on the opening day of the season. It's only because we've been in the top 4 now for pretty much six months it will feel a crushing disappointment. Important to keep perspective like that and some achievement to get top 6 done with still a month left of the season. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmac Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Liverpool v spurs game is at anfield, think that makes a big differences as Kloop penultimate last home game and crowd be wanting to win that especially after reverse fixture and the wrong VAR call. As for our game, they have nothing to play for now so defo won’t be as up for it as before. Result also lifts arsenal for the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it in the "other football" thread, but Newcastle was talked about by sum to rip off 8 straight wins to end the year to close the gap. Well, that lasted for a while.

Little different as that's still at Anfield where their fans will demand they're on it far more than 2-3k tucked away in a corner at a hostile away ground. Spurs will also approach that a bit differently to playing them at home as we will. Need to get our set pieces right on the night as seemed like they didn't win a single one against Tarkowski and Calvert Lewin and eventually cost them the second goal.

You look at Liverpool in that they finished last season outside the top 4 and will qualify for the Champions League with ease this season and yet they will feel at the moment that the season has been a failure. It's the same for us in that there won't be any celebrations about qualifying for the Europa League, but we should acknowledge and appreciate every accolade that this club earns and boy have they earned it this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
