The College Dropout

We should get 7 points from our last 4. Think Villa will get 67 points. Maybe 69 but I doubt it. We’ll have better GD too I assume.

Yep with 69 points. I think 6th might be as much as 67 points though.

History would suggest a dip in form for newly crowned PL winners in the same season. Not being pessimistic, it’s just a slight advantage for Chelsea in the fixture compared to otherwise.

Well he’s rotating. Form of champions in a league season they win tends to fall off. Would love if they win mind but I think the chances have reduced.

I think we get 69 points and qualify with a bit to spare. I've long thought 68 would seal it too. 67 and it might go to GD. Good chance 6th/7th get 65-67 points imo.

You writing Villa off? If they drop points this weekend they’ll give up. But I expect them to get 67 points.

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.

They tend to be better away. Have nothing to play for in the league. Cup final coming up. We seem to dip a bit ahead of finals, assume Palace will too. Teams you would prefer to face: bottom 3 Spurs man U West Ham & Palace The rest is a tough game

You’re projecting Arsenal lose 2 games out of their last 4. They’ve lost 3 in 34.

Forest are faltering but still have 3 of the easiest fixtures in the PL and a 6 pointer. West Ham and Leicester are 2 of the worst teams in the Division. Palace will be distracted by their biggest game ever coming up. Forest might fuck it up but I expect they will have a minimum of 64 points by the end of GW37. Which is ideal for us. I think Chelsea will have 64/66 at that point too.

If not for Liverpool winning the title so early I didn’t fancy Chelsea to get more than 67 points. I now reckon they beat Liverpool and would come to us looking for a draw.

Who cares? This

Liverpool winning the league so early was always going to be bad news. I had Chelsea and Villa missing out a week ago but now I think it’s Forest and Villa. Still getting to 68 points should be enough regardless. Maybe 69 at a push as Chelsea’s GD is on par with us. Beating Chelsea has always been imperative. We need the Chelsea and Forest game to matter for both sides. If either Forest or Chelsea already have 69 we are in trouble

I think we’ll take it game by game.

It’s good that Forest are faltering. The fixtures have dropped nicely for Chelsea in terms of their Man U and Liverpool fixtures. That’s 4-6 points imo. If they can beat one of us or Forest that will secure CL for them - maybe even just 1 draw. I’ve long felt 68 points would seal it for us and sticking with that.

Doesn't seem to win his headers. Pass.

Read that as he'll sit out Brighton. Then we'll assess where we are against Chelsea. If possible, I think he needs to play against Chelsea regardless.

Awful news. He will be a massive miss

Our biggest advantage we have over spurs and Man U is that our owners aren’t really in it for money. Same goes for any American owners. None of them want to max PSR headroom. Yeh Liverpool have won the league but they managed to do so by bringing in a new manager and not backing him at all.

Massive dive

That’s a crazy dive.

Barcola missed a couple great chances against us

Arsenal miss Partey’s vertical passing in midfield and Odegaard + Martinelli have been so poor. Trossard has done lots of good work tbf

He’s not. But this is elite level.
