VillaChris Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Top 6 needs to be the aim next season. Hopefully we'll have the taste of europe and then the europa league is the next aim. I think Arsenal will drop a fair bit next season. If Liverpool can drop nearly 30 points through a few of their CMs getting old Arsenal will struggle playing CL and having better cup runs. People forget what a start they had, think they only drop about 7 points up to start of February so a more mediocre start and we should be in the mix with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Why does Brighton losing to Man City have anything to do with our game against them? We need to beat them because teams below can catch us so I'm not sure why it matters what happens in their other game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. You've seen 'crazier' days than a 16 goal swing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United 7-0 probably more unlikely than us beating Brighton 7 or whatever is needed. Could also argue in their present state Everton going to Brighton and winning 5-1 was probably the biggest shock result of the season. Not that I think any of it is remotely possible, indeed I think Brighton will get a draw off Man. City to secure 6th and that hopefully will be good for us.

Yes I see that these were both freak results, and I can accept that there are mad final days in which crazy things happen. When the poster I was replying to said 'pump them', he really meant Man City to beat Brighton, the current 6th placed side, 10-0 this week and then us turn them over 6-0 at VP I think we can call that fanciful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we not playing them though? I.e. we need to win 3 nil in this scenario. It would need a 6 nil win for man city and a 5 nil win for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 You know it's the end of a long season when you're debating the likelihood of being able to beat a direct competitor 5 or 6 nil. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Brentford having a superior goal difference to us is a little worrying to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 If I wasn’t going to the game on Sunday I think I’d much rather just ignore what’s going on elsewhere until the final whistle, though I imagine that’s going to impossible in the Holte (or anywhere in the ground for that matter) Im so flipping glad it’s in our hands.

Yup, which is why a win is essential from almost any scenario. Even if we get a point and Brentford win they leapfrog us ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I'm pretty chilled about it either way in all honesty. Obviously we all know the challenges if we do get Europe with the squad stretching (See Wolves & West Ham) but I see it as we have to do that sometime if we are serious about moving into the Europa or even the (not so) Champions League. On the other hand I was speaking to a Spurs fan last night & we were discussing the difference between the European comps. He rightly said that in some ways it's easier to get the Champions League places when you don't have the overload of games which the other comps give you. (Think it may have been his way of coping with their worse than expected season however) So it's a straight shoot out between Us, Spurs & Brentford. I have a horrid feeling Spurs will win as Leeds looked shot to me in their last game. So i think we have to win if we are to get Europe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are missing the fact that I mentioned they play the champions before us. They literally lost 5-1 to relegation candidate barely a week ago. It's unlikely, but it's not out of this world. Besides, I'm just dreaming anyway. Don't expect any of this to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While 5 from either game would equal their goal difference, they've scored way more goals than us. Pie in the sky stuff. I think they'll draw with City anyway.
