His behaviour warrants a yellow card virtually every week. He is the biggest tool in the PL and only escapes more regular punishment due to having the special protection only reserved for Man U players. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 We will beat one of the top 3 in our remaining games. Which one I don’t know but we’ll beat one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted February 25 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25 with the extra 5th spot being heavily reliant on teams' performances in europe, imagine this scenario: we finish 5th and make the final of the conference league. england are just behind germany in the coefficient for the 5th CL spot only by us winning the conference league would give england that 5th spot and enable us to qualify for the CL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite a realistic scenario. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Aim has to be 70-75 points. Five of our last 12 are against bottom half teams, and 7 against top half teams. The only thing worrying me is having to play Chambers if Pau adds to the injuries of Konsa, Carlos and Mings which would be ridiculous to have four centre halves out at the same time. I just couldn't cope if Chambers was up against Son, Maddison and Kulusevski. We need Pau back for the next game and really need Konsa and Carlos to get back ASAP too. Looking at our remaining fixtures I'll give my predictions: Luton - W Spurs - D West Ham - W Wolves - D Man City - L Brentford - W Arsenal - L Bournemouth - W Chelsea - D Brighton - D Liverpool - D Crystal Palace - W Puts us on 72 points. Although we don't draw many games so maybe those five draws will actually only be one and we'll win a couple and lose a couple. Even so would probably put us on even more points than 72. We should be hitting 70 and I think we can get to 75. A lot will depend on if we get our injured defenders back because we will probably drop points we shouldn't if we're playing Chambers for any period of time.

duke313 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 One game at a time. Next weekend could be great for us. We beat Luton, United lose to City and hopefully Spurs drop points to a new manager bounce Palace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may lose next week and Man U win and the week after we beat Spurs and Man U lose to Everton. Important thing is not to lose heart when it doesn’t go for us. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 We have a great chance of making 4th or 5th and if we don’t, you take 6th and another season of European football. It’s still progress. However, I do think we may not get a better opportunity of Champions League football as we do now though. Spurs, United, Newcastle and Chelsea, just haven’t been consistent throughout the season and I can only see them coming back stronger next season. The time is now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may never get a chance of champions league again. You can't assume next season teams will be at the same levels as this year. We could easily finish 8th next season if all the usual teams have a good year. We've put ourselves in place to possibly get champions league now, despite an injury crisis, and the enhanced income that brings. If we miss out the summer becomes even more painful with players having to exit to balance thr money to meet the bullshit psr rules. Europa doesn't help financially to keep the core of the team together. Edited February 25 by Hank Scorpio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted February 25 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25 Been tracking 2pts per game consistently since Emery joined, right? Still bang on 2pts per game this season I'm going to assume it continues and we get the full 76pts until something happens that changes my mind. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
