I just think there is so much riding on this that most are freaked out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teslact Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 2 hours ago, Bimpy474 said: Understandably, there's too much over thinking going on. It's simple, It's in our own hands, just what we would have wanted with just 3 games left. One game at a time, win the next one, that's all we need to focus on. 3 points is the magic number Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way we beat Arsenal is if they are in the CL final imo. IMO the point at the Amex was a bonus. it’s an extra blanket against Villa. Arsenal have been below average recently. A point there is definitely achievable even with Big Joe out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Dream weekend incoming is Villa defeat, we win (by 3+) and Forest draw. Would effectively put us in UCL bar some freak results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both us and Arsenal are unreliable and can be both fantastic or shit depending on the day. Arsenal just lost at home to Bournemouth like. Im not saying we are favorites there or anything, but if we need a win its not out of the question that we will get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Whatever happens it’s been a brilliant season winning a first trophy but my main reason for wanting CL now is not only the players we could attract but also avoiding a summer of “where’s Isak/Tonali” off to. I can’t be doing with a whole summer of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordshola Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I honestly think we can get 3 points against Arsenal tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiekris Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 A lot of people writing the Arsenal game off. They haven't been great recently and we've already beaten them three times this season. if they make the final the last thing they'll want is a physical game. If they don't make it well their seasons over and I could see them phoning it in to some extent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they are focussed on the champions league. If they get knocked out they will want to win their last league game at home. In any case that would mean our maximum points is 67 if we draw Arsenal and Chelsea which I think leaves us vulnerable. 69 points via beating Chelsea will get us top 5. 67, I’m less confident.

Win that and the Arsenal game is a free hit. For awhile now the Brighton and Arsenal fixtures were bonuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) If every remaining game for the contenders finishes 0-0 we end up 4th and qualify. Unlikely, nay impossible, I know, but possibly the only remaining set of results which hasn't been mooted in this thread yet Edited May 6 by Benwell Lad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) I'd almost be targeting a win and two draws at this point. That would make it incredible unlikely that Forest and Chelsea could both win enough games to overtake, given that they play each other and we would avoid defeat to Chelsea. I guess 69 is the magic number that means Villa definitely can't catch us, but they 'probably' won't win all 3 anyway.

STM Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I don't think we get anything at Arsenal or at least I'm certainly not counting on it. Chelsea is tough. If it had been a night game, I'd back us but I do worry about the atmosphere and the crowd. I hope worflags is doing something big. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
