Hope there were no MLFs tuned into Talksport this morning. Simon Jordon saying he expects Coventry to turn this around at Sunderland and had a pop at their home crowd as well.

 

Mentioned the time when he owned Crystal Palace. Said they played Sunderland in the Play Offs back in 2004. They were warned to expect a barrage of noise and a proper hostile environment but it was nothing of the sort. Stadium nowhere near full and Palace ended up going through on pens.

 

Still don't see Coventry winning. Sunderland are bad but sadly Coventry are worse again. They were fighting relegation when Lampard came in and although he's done a remarkable job to get them where they are there's a reason why they lost 17 league games in the weakest Championship probably ever.

When that game was played me and the lads were on a boat to Gothenburg 2004 UEFA Cup final, we booked up before the Marseille semi in hope. One lad managed to get a signal and found out they got knocked out. Us and other mags went nuts in the bar. Loads of Celtic on the ferry also

If we do finish 2nd, it'll be really interesting to see the title odds next season. I bet we'd still be 5th/6th favorites.

I'm happy with that.

I questioned a few decisions and subs today. Thankfully Eddie is our manager and I'm just another know nowt on here

Keep going Eddie, you're doing a brilliant job.

Could end up in an Austria West Germany 1982 scenario between Forest and Chelsea on the last day if we don't beat Chelsea.  Which, as its Chelsea, will be completely endorsed.

They'll be allowed to sell the toilets in the stadium for a billion quid as reward.

How about 12pm?

 

edit - tbf if you convince yourself it’s a 12am ko, that could possibly be an acceptable state to find yourself in.

 

 

 

While 12pm is now recognised as correct, the proper term is still 12 noon.

If we can't beat Chelsea at home, we aren't beating Arsenal away IMO.

 

 

2 draws leaves our destiny to others.

If football was that predictable the bookies wouldn't take bets on it.

There is equally as little reason why with the right recruitment the wealthier, more attractive and far better teams already Leeds and Burnley couldn't beat them to it. Let alone the other wealthier 17 premier clubs.

 

Our absolutely horrible 90/91 season (rank it as the worst non-Ashley season I personally experienced,) the epitome of midtable, lost at home to Bristol Rovers and Notts County, rock bottom Hull did the double over us etc. We were closer to automatic promotion than these this season.

 

Devon White killed us

Feel free to ignore this, just felt the need to type this out to help me process all this myself and see where I think we stand for the remaining games.

 

Villa.

Safe to say have got 6 points in the bag already with Man U and Spurs games. Strong chance they beat Fulham at home now that they have no other distractions and will be looking to bounce back from the cup final exit, plus not having lost more than 1 league game at home this season. 

 

So that's possibly 9 - 12 points with only Bournemouth away a potential banana skin. Leaving then 66 - 69 points

 

Chelsea

Could possibly beat Liverpool if they don't turn up, will defo beat Man U and could possibly beat Forest. Providing they lose to us they could be on 69 points.

 

Forest

Toughest game looks like the next one, away night game against buoyant opposition and in abit of a rut themselves. But they should beat Leicester and West Ham and possibly could beat Chelsea on final day if they need to so realistically 66 - 69 points. 

 

Man City

Trickyish games but you just know they normally find a way at this stage and with two being at home you back them + Southampton is a guaranteed. Wolves are the inform side though and they may slip up away to Fulham last day but I'll mark that as a draw at worst. 10-12 points. 73 points. 

 

Us. 

Simply have to beat Chelsea and Everton at home which puts us on 68 and would essentially knock Chelsea out the race hopefully if they drop points already to Liverpool. A point extra away at either Brighton or Arsenal hopefully would seal it, but if Arsenal get knocked out by PSG I don't fancy us to get anything if they are up for it. 

Need to go all in on this Brighton game and look to get 3 points to ease the pressure later. Cannot afford to assume others will slip up. But I'll go for a realistic 69 points for us. 

 

Simply have to beat Chelsea and eliminate them from the race, the only side that can catch our goal difference.

 

So I'll go:

City

Us

Villa

 

With Forest and Chelsea maybe drawing to screw eachother over and Villa sneaking in. 

If Chelsea can possibly beat a Liverpool team with nothing to play for why can't we beat an Arsenal side with nothing to play for?

If we were playing Liverpool at home and Chelsea were playing Brighton away we'd be shitting it

What's the craic with English teams playing each other in the group stage of the Champions League? Do you still avoid each other?

Yes 

3 wins out of 4 definitely gets top 5 no matter what happens in any other game 

Thought Forest was 8 o clock kick off. Just looked, get in

This morning the media were calling Lamine Yamal a generational talent 

Looks like the mackems have some competition.

Evanilson VAR red card rescinded. Feels very unfair given it handed Man Utd a point. What a mess!

He's now available for the Villa game.

All the press/pundits and other bell ends will start up the "Isak to Arsenal" crap again once they get knocked out.

Arsenal want Isak

I want a Ferrari 

Life's a bitch.
