[Albion] Top 4 finish

[Poyningsgull]

Currently 20-1.

Worth a punt.? 8pts adrift, game in hand and all to play for.

Live the dream.

[Swansman]

Its almost as people want the team to go on some 25 game winless streak...

Serious answer: no, its not worth it. Similar to how people splashing cash on relegation last season just wasted their money. 20-1 on a top 6 place would be decent value, top 4 is a waste of money because its not happening (this season at least... who knows what the future brings?)

 

[Commander]

More chance of getting relegated. Genuinely.

 

[dwayne]

We've thrashed 3 fairly shite teams in a row and people are losing their shit

Smash Liverpool and I may jump aboard....

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

More chance of getting relegated. Genuinely.

Absolutely this. 20/1? odds should be more like 200/1, possibly even greater than that.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

More chance of getting relegated. Genuinely.

More chance of winning the boat race (we’re presently 16/1 third favourites behind Oxford who are 4/6 and Cambridge at 11/10)

 

[Rdodge30]

Brighton 5/1 win outright w/o big 6 would be better value (but still not a bet for me) that could be seen as simply 5/1 to finish above Newcastle and Brentford?

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Currently 20-1.

Worth a punt.? 8pts adrift, game in hand and all to play for.

Live the dream.

Top 4? Have you no ambition. We can easily make up the 17 points and overhaul Arsenal by the end of the season.

Seems a great way of wasting your money. And this thread seems like the perfect jinx.

Please define what a Liverpool smash should look like?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Given Smug is already bemoaning his small squad and the fact we have a game in hand on them. M Utd can always collapse. Add in those with CL ahead why not?

Did I imagine it or do Liverpool normally just scrape a win at the Amex courtesy of a Salah penalty? Their always-flakey defence might just be in for the shock of their lives this time around

 

[Robinjakarta]

More chance of signing Messi.

 

[Stat Brother]

More chance of getting relegated. Genuinely.

So you're says there's a chance?

Good enough for me.

Potters at Chelsea now

 

[JOLovegrove]

I am surprised people think it is that ridiculous. Look who is above and around us:

- Arsenal & City: Yeah, I don't think we will be catching them.
- Newcastle: Looking great, but as they proved against Wednesday, don't have too much depth. Could easily go on a run of struggling to score I think. Do look decent though.
- Man United: In form, but as someone said, could implode. Maybe that factor has gone now Ronaldo has left.
- Spurs & Liverpool: Both seem to be incredibly inconsistent. Both easily go on runs where they just can't win games. Liverpool a shadow of their former selves, and Spurs relying on Kane.
- Fulham & Brentford: If both of them are up there, there is no reason we can't be. I am biased, but I would say player for player, we have a better squad then these 2 teams.
- Chelsea: Doesn't look like it is getting any better under Potter. May just be one of those seasons for them.

I am not saying it is going to happen, and I really don't think it will, but we are capable of beating any team. Hit some rich form, beat the teams above us, and we are well in the mix. It's also so tight up there, it isn't like there is a top 4 like yester year and then the other 16.

Or am I just being to optimistic?

Personally just enjoy the football and see where the journey goes.

 

[Swansman]

If I remember it right, it has happened ZERO times since 2000 that a team 8 pts or more behind a CL spot at this point of the season actually finished in a CL position. Currently, Brighton are 8 points behind Manchester United.

This.
If we start to get ahead of ourselves, it will only lead to disappointment
