I'd say our chances are better than 50% which is great considering how low we were all feeling after the Wolves result. Not quite. Brentford could still qualify if they beat Man City at home.

Then today's performance. Unai has squeezed every possible drop of effort out of this team. Perfectly well said. With Gerrard, we vastly underachieved with our squad, with Emery somewhat overachieved. Imagine what we can do if we can genuinely strengthen the squad over the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, we will either be playing a Brighton team who have already secured a EL place or it will be a play off for it, hope it’s the latter but just happy to be in with a shout!

This, don’t give Pep a reason not to be involved and they won’t want a team to do the double over them in a title winning season!

allani Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Just a small point here but in consecutive weekends we have probably put the final nail in the Champions League hopes of Spurs AND Liverpool. (Admittedly both were unlikely to qualify and to be fair Liverpool still have a distant mathematical chance.) Glorious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Lots of permutations, but the simple fact is if we beat Brighton we’re in Europe. After the loss at Fulham if you offered me a last day shoot out to keep us up I’d have took it. This has been phenomenal, I hope more than anything we can do it but whatever happens I’m so proud of this team, and in absolute awe of our manager. What a season, and what and what atmosphere we’re going to enjoy next week. Edited May 20, 2023 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
