We did lose Joelinton. That no doubt plays on people's minds and adds into the calculation of how likely we are to win certain games etc. Also each game playing the same players adds to the chance of further injuries or suspension. So each round creates a new variable which makes the whole thing far from simple. A little while ago I was pretty confident we would smash Chelsea at home. But missing Big Joe, Isak looking slightly off it recently, Chelsea picking up a little bit of form, albeit against poorish sides, is starting to creep in a small bit of doubt. But hopefully the lads have one last final push in them and smash these last few games.

It's all down to form tbh. If he's causing opposition teams problems and scoring goals, no one would bat an eyelid if he kicked a chip butty out of a starving kids hands. Just have to look at how a couple of good games for Villa had many singing his praises again. He's just not doing enough on the pitch to justify massive wages. That's it really.

They also won 3 in their last 9 in PL. If we win our last 4 we got a very decent chance of getting 2nd.

Agreed. I think I have said a few times on here but it was (and still is), the most I have ever celebrated a goal in my life and the wildest celebration I have ever been part of. What a moment, and it remains my favourite NUFC goal. I think it always will be.

yeah less chance of getting battered of the police in Germany too.

Other way round for me. Tremendous bantz if Mbappe were to get turned over at SJP again.

Bit of both. He got stick for going to the boxing. Declan Rice and Watkins were with him - silence. But if he’s leaking stories to the press and he does often look incredibly lazy - he’s not worth it.

football ranking projecting man u in pot 1 for cl, as we couldn't play any of the other english pot 1 sides (liverpool, arsenal and city) we would then play 2 of 5 from PSG, BAyern, Inter, Real or Barca. Leverkusen would fill in for Man United although not sure what Spurs or possibly Chelseas coefficient is. Obviously a long way to go but Real Madrid (A) and Bayern (H) would be my ideal picks for new opponents.

Gameweek 35 Man City 3-1 Wolves Villa 2-2 Fulham Everton 2-1 Ipswich Leicester 1-2 Southampton Arsenal 3-1 Bournemouth Brentford 2-1 Man Utd Brighton 1-2 Newcastle West Ham 3-1 Spurs Chelsea 1-3 Liverpool Palace 3-1 Forest

only if they were the team to finish 6th, not sure if that can happen.

If arsenal win the cl does that mean that 6th place gets cl football?

Additionally, his close uncle, Jamie (a former skunker) is black & white daft. I highly doubt that Jamie's NUFC obsession did not rub off on his nephew in a meaningful way..

This!

Aye but we lost at home to West Ham

If City beat Villa we could be five clear [City wins] I'm still worried Villa will win the rest and can't see Forest losing, but if we just take care of what we need to do we'll be fine. [Beat Ipswich 3-0] Now that Villa and Forest are out of the cup they have no distractions and Liverpool winning the title means they are now terrible [Forest lose to Brentford] Man United and Spurs and Palace and the Amex and everything is bad ----------------- You all are going to drive yourselves mad. The most relevant fact is since mid-December (i.e. The Rise of Tonali), which is the equivalent of half a season as of now, we are the second best team in the country and we beat the only one better in a cup final.

@Shadow Puppets any idea on the socks colour / style?

Yeah best thing to do if you are that way inclined is lay us on Betfair in the top 5 market.

I always thought the attitude thing came from when people thought he was getting above his station for trying to feed kids. Like how dare a young lad from Manchester criticise people in power etc. Is it actually real?

Officially there was only a couple thousand more, undiscernable to the naked eye, than the Millwall game but it felt at the time and looks when you look back at it very different to that. Best atmosphere I'd experienced by that point, part of which was how heaving it all felt.

No doubt Eddie and the boys will be focused and trying to achieve maximum points

Win the last 4 and I think we finish 2nd. Would take some effort but what a statement it'd be for next season in terms of enticing players, and showing Isak, Tonali, etc that we can give them the accolades they chase. Would likely be relying on Arsenal getting to the CL Final to take their eyes off the league though.

Two things here. First is if Man City win the Cup, they are favourites, seventh gets Europa League. This means there's very little chance, my guess would be less than one in one hundred, we don't get at least Europa League. Which as Man U and Spurs are suggesting, is probably easier than to progress in than used to be and offers a way into the CL for the winner. Note that I want and expect CL, us collapsing under Eddie Howe would be very uncharacteristic. I am only bringing this up to soothe any last minute nerves from the players and fanbase. We won't be in the Conference League next season. We'll be in one of the two better competitions. Secondly, us being basically nailed on for top 7 means eighth will get Europe. Man City and Villa both have to play both Bournemouth and Fulham who are in contention for eighth. We have to play Brighton, who are the same. Anyone saying VIlla have easy fixtures is saying teams in genuine European contention are easy opposition.

This made me laugh a lot more than it should have done.
