Chicken Dancer Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Aye I don't think INEOS will be signing older players on ridiculous wages. Recruitment and how they've spent vast sums on shite has been the main issue, although that being said I'm pretty sure they wanted De Jong before Casimeiro. Though, it wasn't long ago everyone was talking about him being an amazing signing. They've got a decent spine in Martinez, Mainoo, Fernandes & Hojlund. Garnacho & Dalot are mint as well I think. If I was them I'd be shopping Varane/Cas to Saudi ASAP. Would probably free up £800/900k a week, though granted not much of an issue there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 1 hour ago, Froggy said: I really don't know how you can say this. Especially given the two fixtures we have this week. Somehow some way you’ll get enough points. And the clubs behind are inconsistent. No one is going to win 5 on the bounce. If I thought we were capable of that I wouldn’t be so pessimistic.

Thumbheed Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 4 points behind 6th place. If we could just hit that vein of form we know we have in us, then 6th would be ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) Soz if giggs but just noticed we now can’t make last season’s points total. Last season: 71pts Max this season: 68pts (so actually this became the case after the Chelsea defeat) Edited April 6 by Superior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing they've got going for them in finishing 6th is they've somehow already got points on the board. But this current incarnation are a solidly mid-table team. They're by no means a shoe in for 6th. Fifth I think - I think you overlooked Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season is full of if onlys that's why I can't predict what we will do these last 7 games Presume we need to be looking at 60+ points for 7th spot with how tight it is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 60 odd might be enough for 6th given how hot and cold Man Utd and West Ham are. West Ham obviously have the Europa League to think about as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 58 pts is the magic number, should get 7th with that. Three wins and two draws from the last 7 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 6th is about as good as we can possibly even go for now, comes down to a little mini-league with us, Man U and West Ham. We've got the easiest run-in and the best goal difference, looking at West Ham - I genuinely think they'll fade, they've played a game more and still have Liverpool and City to play (plus another 3 London derbies plus European games) so I think we'll edge them. Man U still have Liverpool and Arsenal and 3 potentially tricky aways. Suppose Chelsea too but they're still flaky as fuck and still have 5 of the top 9 still to play - they do have games in hand though. To even have a chance at 6th or 7th given everything we've been through this season is great though. I often tend to dwell on the negatives at times but looking at what's left, rather than what's already gone, and European football is still very, very much on for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 6th this season would be almost as impressive as 4th last giving what we've had to work with. Incredible effort to still be in the mix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Chelsea are the biggest threat to us finishing 7th now. WHU have a horrible run in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
