Haven’t played them; would be a cracking away game; outside of the ‘big three’, they’re as successful as any other Portuguese club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I only want Europa because of the extra revenue and co-efficients. I absolutely do not expect us to be able to win it. And it's more detrimental to league form than Conference League. Conference League we should be able to win it. And pre-Christmas it offers an excellent opportunities to give minutes to youngsters and squad players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Chelsea’s next two games they could easily lose, but they could just as easily win as well. I don’t think you can write Chelsea off just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you can write Chelsea off just yet. Agreed. One huge advantage is they are never far off a mental collapse. And they have bad injuries too.

True, but I still wouldn’t be surprised if they win every game now, especially if Palmer is back. I also think we will drop points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Btw Wesley Fofana is equal parts lucky and unlucky. 7 knee injuries and a broken leg. But a contract until 2029. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiffy, this is one of those worried Newcastle fan posts, where you imagine the worst case scenario and run with it. TBF, I did it during the run last season. Newcastle will 100% drop points, possibly tonight, but we are better placed to pick ourselves up. Even if we lose against Palace, we couldn't have a better fixture than SU to recover. I'd be surprised if we don't get 3 wins, which will be enough IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sufi Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I’m more focused on Man U than Chelsea. Even with Palmer back I don’t see them going on a run. They seem to be more motivated against top teams and never show up consistently against anyone else. They have also had an amazing bit of luck with penalties. I love Palmer don’t get me wrong but 9 goals from penalties is something. Every game they seem to get an interesting call go their way. I think we can all rely on our boy Nicolas Jackson. Also Mudryk and Sterling. All 3 have been abysmal most of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sufi Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Hang on I’ve just had a look at their schedule. Winning all 6? That would be extremely unlikely haha. Villa, Spurs, West Ham(who have been dipping lately, but still a good squad). I don’t think you can consider Brighton an easy match. They always seem to show up against Chelsea. Bournemouth with the form Solanke is in. Even Forest aren’t an easy side and especially now since they are one point out of the relegation zone. We also have like 15 better goal difference. I’ve gone from not really worried about Chelsea to not at all worried. We just need to focus on beating all the bottom tier sides we have coming up.

Beth Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I think it all comes down to the Man U game for 6th. If we avoid defeat we'll get it, if not Man U will. Regardless, 10 pts from the last six games should be enough for 7th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 No way are Chelsea winning Villa (A) Spurs (H) Brighton (H) Bournemouth (A) All of them will give them a game, they'll definitely drop points. Just can't see them catching us, Man Utd however I can see scabbing more points than they deserve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Need to respond to that tonight with at least 7 points from our next 3 games going into Man Utd away. Man Utd have some tough games remaining too which will hopefully help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola14 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 thought CP would be our most difficult fixture remaining but that was also one of our worst performances of the season hopefully CP will also batter Man U, though they're jammy enough to get something no matter how poorly they play hard to think about 6th after that performance tonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 2 easy games, another against a shit show then 2 tough games where Howe will get out coached. So we will need to rely on Isak and Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Still between us and Man U for 6th after tonight. I think we'll be level on points when we play them, so winner takes all....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
