Bournemouth on paper have a better run in than most but still some big boys to play. All in all its gonna be tough for all of us in the mix. Having said that, I forgot the late challenge for Europe Palace will undoubtedly do so still a tough ask for us!
They have been best side we've played this season in my view. If, they carry that on I think they'll take points from most of them which, will help us of course
Agree they were very good but thought we contributed to our own downfall (Chelsea and Forest) while Liverpool in cup was makeshift teams by both sides.
8th is very likely to be good enough for Europe.
Have quoted the wrong bit! But, talking of Villa, they also have potential for going further in 2 Cups. Without checking, until recently, I think they’ve generally been poor following Champions League fixtures. Asensio and Rashford seem to have helped immensely but let’s hope they get a bit stretched.
It’s a funny one this season, I don’t remember a situation where the bottom 4 were adrift by 10 pts at this stage, the bottom 3 16 points from 16th. Youve got 17 teams on their day can be a tough ask, then only 3 really struggling. Everyone else takes points off each other. 9 pts separate 3rd to 10th. So open so many points will be dropped between each other.
I wouldn’t say very likely.
Certainly not. Just takes one of Newcastle, and one of the 6 teams (Forest and city nailed top 6), to finish outside of top 7 and win it.
It would be tough to hear their crowing over the sound of the Champions League theme music
Earl Grey?
April 19th will be a BIG day, I reckon. Us away at Brentford, Bournemouth away at Palarse, Fulham home to Chelsea, Villa home to Newcastle. Something has got to give that day!
The truly Nightmare scenario is Newcastle and Palace winning the cups and us finishing 7th and failing to qualify for Europe.
Which is all we can ask…
I think if we did this, we’d be unbeaten in the run in.
