viivvaa66 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 On Friday the odds for us getting top 4 was 150/1, now it’s 25/1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Highest point total of a non “Big 6” in the past few seasons was 66 and 65 by Leicester and West Ham respectively. We’ll have done incredibly to get close to that given the start to our season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whose noses? The main media from London would love Arsenal winning. Liverpool and Man U fans won’t want City to win. The football community have hated City’s cheating. The only noses out of place are their owners and the half full stadium of fans they have. In my mind the shake up is more the likes of us, Brighton, Newcastle upsetting the Top/Sky6. Within the Sky6 it’s just muchness of muchness of scum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it was more hope for 9th or 10th than reason for 7th. And admittedly, I was one of those “wait and see” with Gerrard people who have proven to be … how should I put this? Mistaken. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whilst we have given ourselves a chance, it's a bit early for high fives and "told you so's". Let's see where we are on 28th May. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 The fact this is even a possibility shows how great of a job Emery has done. Before his appointment I think most of us expected a relagation battle, I shudder to think where we’d be a Gerrard was given anymore time. Our current position has us all dreaming, and rightfully so, that’s what sport is all about. But even finishing 8th would be an incredible season given where we were.

I play in a golf society and in the last 18 months they have only clashed twice, the last being the 4-0 Southampton win. Im beginning to think I’m a curse, I might just give my ST away for the run in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Unlikely we’d catch United anyway. Newcastle? Not unless they implode , so unlikely. Spurs though, they’ll be caught. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayEm Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 We can catch Spurs. Brighton are looking very very good though so I can see them deservedly finishing above us. The only other team below us to worry about at this point is Liverpool. If we catch Spurs I reckon we get sixth. Anything more than that would be astonishing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Tottenham yesterday they look just awful, I'd say that Stellini has defo lost the dressing room, seems a right word removed, an that's why I reckon they'll drop out the top 6.

robby b Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Next weekend we can't get up into 5th realistically (the only way would be a massive goal difference swing between us and Spurs). 6th place is the new 11th. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting what the response from Newcastle is. If they get an early goal I think they could put 3-4 past Spurs. Think Spurs have got Newcastle, Man. United, Liverpool as next three so we've got a real chance of being above them by the time May comes round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that i've seen most of their fans say they were more worried about us than the likes of Spurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishVilla10 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Think 5th,6th,7th will be between us Liverpool and Brighton. Spurs are going to fall off looking at their fixtures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 7 qualify for Europe unless a team outside is the top 7 wins the champions league, europa league or domestic cup, but if a team outside is the top 7 wins the europa conference league then the top 7 and winners compete in Europe.
