Wonder when we secured our safety that season? Be surprised if it was as early as we we've done it this season. Was actually the penultimate game of the season when we won away to Arsenal. We only had 42 points going into that game and Blackpool ended up going down on 39 points and they lost on the final day, think SHA also went down on 38-39 points. Was a bizarre season from start to finish. We beat Arsenal and Liverpool in our last two to somehow finish 9th in the end which was very flattering for how we performed. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds really grim and negative but am is supposed to bullshit you or be realistic? I agree, they're two massive factors against us. However, it looks like we have a half-decent chance of finishing 11th, with Palace losing last night and the "woeful" Wolves performance the other day, losing 4-0 at home to Burnley.

ender4 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Can 8th place get into Europe, if Man Utd and Man City both win their European trophies, and Man City win the FA cup? We are 9th with an outside chance of 8th. Edited May 1, 2021 by ender4 Wrong team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wanted to be out of cups, but in reality our form went down even without cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Regarding the conference league, I think cup runners-up will have a better chance, although if Spurs went to Europa League then it’s open again. Now it’s 5 cup finals, let’s the great escape again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Arsenal win Europa then England get an 8th spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 We're on the same points now as Sheffield United and Tottenham were on last season after thirty-three games, with a better goal difference. From the final games of 2019/20 we took eight points, if we match that this season we will finish on 56 points, which last season would have been enough to finish eighth. I can see us doing better and getting 15 points from our final five, even if we only manage 12 that will still take us to 60 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against two teams in the top 4, two teams above us and a quite solid Crystal Palace? Our finish to last season was somewhat exceptional and the reason we stayed up. If we matched 8pts from the last five games I'd be pretty pleased!! Last night we were very good, but this calendar year we've been pretty awful, we're not suddenly winning six on the bounce. If we stay 10th or above I'll be pleasantly surprised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
