The Europeometer™ (2024/25) - NUFC Qualify for Champions League

[Gallowgate Toon]

Chelsea have a very difficult fixture in Brighton away, like.

 

Also, Brighton fans at work hate Chelsea for being pilfering cunts. I think they'll be well up for it.

Chelsea's next two aren't easy and our next two also aren't easy. Anything is possible if we beat Man Utd. Brighton could get something against Chelsea based on what we saw today.

Fucking hell you've changed your tune, you were saying we had no chance against Spurs a few weeks ago! Chelsea's last two games are easier than our last two.

You have consistently been miserable.

[Decky]

We're playing probably the worst Man Utd team in decades and Chelsea have a tough trip to Brighton. There's still enough there to remain positive about. If Chelsea win and we don't though its probably done.

I think it's likely we draw both games which should at least be enough for 7th 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully Arsenal win tomorrow and we'll just need to draw on Wednesday for 7th. I'll be kicking every ball for Arsenal tomorrow because the thought of 8th is just unthinkable right now. 

[The Prophet]

Still a lot of football to play. All teams involved are so inconsistent it was always going to be close.

I mean apart from the obvious of us potentially not being in Europe, I'd fucking hate that some of the self-nominated super 6 get back into Europe like. Edging out Chelsea and Man United would be great for the league. Entitled twats. The lot of them.

Well, shockingly beating Spurs changed our fortunes. Tends to happens when you win a couple of games. 

[sushimonster85]

Mathematically it's in our hands. Realistically it's in Brightons hands. Their final 2 games of the season are both at home v Chelsea then Man U. I can't see them losing both.

This. Chelsea and Man U have wasted so much money, been complete circuses, and yet. They're fucking clinging on like the bad smells they are m. Fucking sick of them

[Heron]

Fancy Chelsea to beat Bournemouth at home. Wouldn't put it past Brighton getting at least 4 points from the next two potentially like.

Chelsea only have one loss in the last 13 though. They’ve clearly turned a corner (albeit a bit jammy at times). They’re racing towards the finish line unlike Man Utd. 

[The College Dropout]

I thought Chelsea could drop points here. 
 

The thing about Chelsea is they are in good form.  They’ve found some consistency. 

[The Prophet]

Us and Chelsea are in relatively similar form over the last 10-15 games. Not much in it.

[Karjala]

Think our best chance now is to pip manure (draw at OT) and watch citeh destroy them in the cup final.

 

Winning both isn't impossible though.

Does 7th guarantee European football?

it does if Man City win the FA cup.

If City win the FA Cup it does yeah. If Man Utd win it then no. 

[Heron]

Devils advocate here, but not being in Europe might just improve our chances of winning a domestic trophy next year like.

[Stifler]

I’m struggling to see us do it now, I think that’s it.

Ok it’s in our hands, if we win our next 2 games we’ll finish above Man Utd, and quite possible ahead of Chelsea unless they can claw out 2 big wins. However Man Utd have always been able to beat us when it matters, ok we have had them a few times, and yes this is possibly the worst Man Utd team since before Ferguson arrived there, but you just know they’ll either pull it out of the bag against us, possibly with the help of the officials. The worry is even if we hold them off, we’ll finish 7th and Man Utd will still fuck us over by winning the FA Cup.

 

There isn’t much left in us now, today we were off it. There was no pressing, there was no urgency, some players still can’t do 3 games in a week. In these 3 games I always saw us slipping up, the hope was that we have given ourselves enough to slip up somewhere, but win elsewhere. It’s a much harder prospect to have done your slip up in the first game.

True, but you come up against the likes of City at some stage and when we do it could all be over. I think we could have a genuine crack at the Europa League and I think we'd be unstoppable in the Conference League. If we get the ECL I think we'll be favourites for it. 

[Weznufc]

They won't win the fa cup, the game on Wednesday is a different story tho 

[Mattoon]

Howay, yes today wasn't our best and we seemed to huff and puff but not produce much more than a gentle breeze, but regardless of the results this weekend we're still guaranteed to be 6th going into game 37 and still, more pertinently, in the driving seat, for some reason I had it in my head Chelsea were ahead on points from todays results.

 

Wednesday will be the litmus test, but it's still in our hands, win both our remaining games and we finish 6th, hell we could mathematically still get 5th. Yet another emotional breakdown by our fans after a less than convincing performance. Eddie will have us fired up on Wednesday and Man Utd are in freefall, win our 2 games and Chelsea just become a footnote in our European qualification.

Was just about to mention this actually. 

 

We all want European football but there would be some advantages to finishing 8th and trying to break into the top 4 without the extra games. Bouncing from 11th to 4th a year ago was staggering but one of the main reasons we did so was because we put most of our attention on the League games and it paid off massively. I'm not trying to find the silver lining here, I still want Europe for lots of reasons, I'm just not going to be devastated with 8th and a strong squad to attack the League with next season. There are pro's and con's to 6th, 7th and 8th tbh
