Surprised at how far ahead we are of the others at fourth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I know it's a complete intangible but seeing the Forest owner booting off on the pitch at FT would frighten the life out of me if I was a Forest fan. In isolation it means nothing but it does just reveal how much pressure they're under and how close to the edge they are of losing their collective shit now it's come down to the crunch. That was a massive tell imo and I think they'll really struggle to beat either West Ham or Chelsea now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Spurs rested half their team today, it might mean they go full strength on Friday - as you’d think they’d not want to go into the final having just had a pasting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the best thing that's happened to that club in donkeys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Everyone needs to pump the brakes on the title talk. Maybe things will look differently if we have a perfect summer, but we need to clear the hurdle of playing well every ~3 days before that’s even a realistic dream.

Coffee_Johnny Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) At end of April--taking into account number of games played and relative difficulty of opposition (plus whether home or away)--we were bang on course average points total for fourth place in a Premier League/ship season. Need three more points to hit the average for fourth at end of May/season. Average for third place is 73 points, which we can't now attain, but I think there is/will be relatively lower points totals across the top positions this season.

Menace Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Whatever happens - a league cup and a potential CL place is incredible. This is Howe's biggest achievement to date IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) One thing I would say is that - while I'm not wishing points onto Forest - it's probably in our best interests for them to be competitive v Chelsea. Obviously we can beat Everton and do it ourselves, it's in our own hands. But it'd be nice if a draw was good enough too, which needs Forest still dreaming.

t00nt00n313 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) I do feel really badly for forest tbf, just a few weeks ago I thought they had CL in the bag, they were third and had way easier fixtures compared to everyone else. They've really dropped the ball, but still a great season for them. Edited May 11 by t00nt00n313 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it for FA Cup finals too. Teams who reach the FA Cup final do well in the league games preceding it. I figure players will be out to impress and stake a claim in the final.

bobbydazzla Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) People seem to have forgotten that Man Utd and Tottenham are 17th and 16th in the league They’d both be fucking gash vs Villa and Chelsea, whether they had a final to play or not Stop pissing your pants about everyone else, bask in the rays of being 2 wins away from finishing 2nd in the league Drink it in, it’s the sweet nectar of positivity. This isn’t the bad days of relegations and humiliations Take a step back and enjoy the moment lads, rather than fretting over every possible negative permutation Edited May 11 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
