Put it this way, I wouldn’t swap squads with them I wouldn't trade our starting eleven, but I'd totally swap their bench for ours. Look at their midfield compared to ours. It's obvious they have a better squad. We might have a better starting eleven, but definitely not a better squad overall, and its definitely a squad game this.

Displayname Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 55 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: Think Any PL side in the top 12 would have a decent crack at making the Europa league final this season. They wouldn’t have got to the final last year with Atalanta and Leverkusen. It’s genuinely harder to win a domestic cup this season. At least 3 of our 4 wins against Spurs/Man U were ‘live’ games. We smashed a live Man U at OT. We are good. But that is insane. Well Aston Villa playing away to a top 12 side isnt a guaranteed win like. They have a pretty average away form this season.

TRC Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I do think one of Spurs and Man U get some sort of result this weekend and I dont think Forest catch us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elma Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 54 minutes ago, The Butcher said: Stop me if I'm wrong, but if Chelsea or Villa lose on Friday, we're more or less there? If Bournemouth had just taken a point off Villa on Saturday night we'd only need one point now. If Villa lose on Friday then the only result that would stop us would be a Forest win final day (likely by a single goal) with Forest and Chelsea winning their other games (Chelsea would need to overturn a four goal swing, so assuming we lose both of ours by one they'd need to beat Man U by at least three, probably four).

LFEE Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 56 minutes ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: I understand nerves but we basically have done everything we could possibly do bar winning every game. There's nothing more we can ask. If all our rivals win all their games by multiple goals then we'll be in a conversation. Otherwise we're doing it. I’m just basing it off recent history. Going off these two fixtures in previous seasons we got 1 point last season and 2 points season before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Even if we got two more points we could still do it. As I keep saying, I don’t want it to go to the wire but it looks like there’s no way around that now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernmag Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 If you'd told me before this season that we'd win a cup and potentially finish 2nd, I'd have a hard time believing it. If you'd told me that when we were 12th or whatever in December, I simply would not have believed it. No chance. This really is a special group of players and a special manager. Not perfect, not above all criticism, but special. Let's enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a pretty average away form this season. Lucky for Aston Villa - Spurs and Man U aren’t top 12. They are facing second string and/or unmotivated teams with 2 of the most tactically predictable managers in the league. I don’t really care about Aston Villa. We are going to finish above them. Macro view - Villa are a bigger rival than Man U and Spurs. Their ownership’s aren’t levels. I don’t either ownership will make enough compounded good decisions. If not for FFP us and Villa would be title challengers. We will both find a way to make it happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I should stay away from this thread. We’ll get the 3 points needed and secure CL. We’ll sign Morgan Rogers June 30th. And challenge for the league next season. Win it the next. Eddie Howe statue by 2030. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPar Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 2 hours ago, Displayname said: They have put all their focus on Europa. Think its an open question how they will respond after that is over. In all seriousness, they cant be that shit when they made it to the Europa League final. Got to have something going on. Yeah, it's called Bruno Fernandes. Without him they'd be in the bottom 3.

JP Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Just realised, that point at Brighton looking massive right now. Would be needing 4 from last two games to guarantee it if we'd lost at Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 So basically Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City and Villa look pretty nailed on, this could very easily go to Everton on the last day, I'm confident we will hammer them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the team we're 3 points ahead of with an almost insurmountable GD, the team we're a point ahead of, and the team we're 2 points behind but play this weekend, have beaten three times, and whose only win in the last month is against a 10 man Ipswich are nailed on but we're not.

Novocastrian Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 So if either of Aston Villa v Spurs or Chelsea v Man Utd is a draw on Friday. We’ll probably only need a point to qualify for CL. I think this is right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
