But I can't see Chelsea, Spurs (will rebuild when Kane goes) having equally bad seasons next year. This year was an opportunity for teams with top 10 ambitions to sneak a way into Europe and we're largely doing that (nearly there!). But I think the league will change to more familiar terms next year (albeit I hope not!). We're different with Emery for sure, we need to maintain this now and push on, hopefully we can do that!

Keyblade Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Going to be an interesting final day if Brighton get pumped by City. Imagine we do a Newcastle on Sunday and are 2/3 up at halftime and playing well. We'd be going all out in the second half, towards the Holte. Could be a day to remember. Unai deserves nothing less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 If we don't beat Brighton we won't get 7th. Brentford playing a City C team with their focus on Champions League and FA Cup finals. One of Spurs or Brentford will win. I still think we'll fall short 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, from experience, it's rarely how it happens We will finish above both Chelsea and Spurs next season. Liverpool need a rebuild. Man U and Newcastle aren’t that good, we’ve beaten both this season. We have nearly 2 ppg under Emery, that’s top 4 form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Come on That's why I prefaced that with if City pump Brighton this week. It's a crazy scenario but I've seen crazier final days. Imagine if to secure 6th we'd need to win 6-0 or something. Atmosphere at VP would be absolutely mental if we got off to a fast start like against Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton are not going to get pumped by Man City to anywhere near the goals some are suggesting. We are not going to hammer Brighton by the remaining goals that would be needed by that fantasy scenario people are hoping for. We might win, but 7th is our best we can get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stephen_Evans Posted May 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2023 It may or may not go our way. But having European qualification in our own hands on the last day of the season is an extraordinary success seen in its proper context. A few short years ago we might have been looking at third tier and financial meltdown. We have to be positive. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an incredible turnaround since Deano got us back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the domestic cups, you have to go through Man City or one or more of the other top clubs. West Ham, despite being dogshit this season in the league, are one game away from a European trophy. What does "concentrating on the league" get us? 7th? 6th? Big deal. We've finished there loads of times. I'd take a trophy if we finished 15th. Dont think it counts as a major trophy though or does it? Like does winning that bring us to 21 major trophies from the current 20 Edited May 23, 2023 by RicRic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
