Geordie Ahmed Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I can actually see a situation where City miss out Dropping points to Southampton was brutal and their remaining fixtures aren't easy, they have very little margin for error as I think less than 69 points won't be enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Probably already mentioned, but Forest getting points vs Chelsea would mean that 68 is enough. If Forest also drop points vs West Ham in this scenario, 67 would probably do (depending on Chelsea gd vs ours). Edited May 11 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramirez Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I think forest are cooked now. Spurs and Man U bottom of form chart and unlikely to try much harder ahead of final. I suppose if Man U win they could be on a high for final day but not expecting any more favours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Think there’s a very high chance that final game it’s 66 / 66 / 66 / 66 / 65 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if they arent giving a shit or just are shit tbf. They don’t give a shit about the league anymore no. And they are shit. But now both teams are in a pretty 50/50 situation to get CL football due to the final. They’re giving wayyyy more of a shit about trying to move those odds now.

South-Cheshire-Toon Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Looking at it with who's got to play who and the fact that the FA Cup is on the Sat with Shitty playing, I've come to the conclusion to wait until the final gamesweek as there are too many permutations to take into account. Once the next games week is done then there will be a, obviously, clearer picture as to who needs what. Also Spurs play Manure in the mid week as well, so Manure may not be up for the Villa games as much dependant on the result, which can be same for Shitty with their FA Cup game. Also obvious to say - 2 wins and we'll be second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Imagine in August 2024 we got handed the following as a scenario for our season: - Win the Carabao cup - Win v Everton at SJP final day for CL qualification We'll get the job done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 It’s not complicated. 3 more points and we are in the CL. We have 2 shots at it. I don’t expect to capitalise on the first shot. But I do expect we will for the second shot. Pickford will be well up for it. That’s my only slight fear. Fortunately I expect the rest of the team to be on the beach and emotionally spent after the last Goodson game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I’m fearful still. Always said we needed not to lose against Villa and not changed my mind. Can see Man City, Chelsea and Villa winning both their last two games. Arsenal will be desperate for revenge and then we have inform Everton with Pickford in goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Finishing 2nd would be mad 22-23: 71 23-24: 60 24-25: 66-71 Think it’s fair to say we have established what will be an average season moving points wise. Our low end should be enough to finish top 7 vast majority of time. Going forward it’ll be to increase that low end to the 70 mark which then means upper end is title challengers. At the moment our top end is top 4 challengers. Some progress we’ve made, and consistency which will appeal to players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's usually the opposite, but this board and fanbase in general i'd wager is still recovering from the Ashley era trauma Almost everything I see is thinking of the worst possible outcomes despite the fact the team seems to be quite fkn good. Idk i don't watch football anymore, i just read this board from time to time so it seems like they're good to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I said a few weeks ago that this side has never really let us down by bottling big games. They sometimes get beat but never through a lack of bollocks. Gonna be tough for other teams next year when we add 3/4 quality players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
