WilliamPS Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Going to be an absolute meltdown in here when they lose tomorrow, followed by a massive reversal when they beat Everton and finish 4th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but Forest wouldn't be able to catch us and we'd be 3 points ahead of Villa with 1 game to play with a goal difference they realistically can't over turn.

Let’s just win then and it’s sorted. having said that, they’re playing Man Utd. Edited May 17 by Hovagod Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping with the Uefa cup done Man Utd might decide to put some effort in. Hopefully because they're trying to save face having lost the final.

alexf Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 As long as we don't pick up any bad injuries and/or get thumped 4 or 5 nil then there shouldn't be any need to panic. Just wish we had a somewhat easier game to give us a better chance of finishing it before Everton. But that's how it's fallen and hopefully this team will see it through and get us over the line like they did in 22/23 and the in the cup final this year.

MagPar Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 We beat Arsenal in the cup final so there is no reason we can't beat them in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I'm not feeling the 'stress' or 'pressure' like. Being in Europe is fucking great, regardless of compeition. Qualifying for the UEFA Cup or the Conference League is not failure. And while I think we will make the CL, I'd rather we didn't view finishing outside the top five as failure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 A little bit of me thinks that finishing the europa league could be a good opportunity for a proper trophy whereas champions league may be still really tough for us... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that viewpoint completely however the new format of the CL does make things slightly easier in terms of difficulty of opponent week in week out and squad rotation. I think we’ll make sufficient signings for the squad to be that but stronger too. The other key point for me is I think our blue chip players want to be playing in the champions league too. Being in it reduces the risk of certain players leaving while also improving our chances of signing top players as well as the financial gains. I think where we’re at it’s more important to be in the champions league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAK Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Tiresias said: A little bit of me thinks that finishing the europa league could be a good opportunity for a proper trophy whereas champions league may be still really tough for us... We struggled last time due to a thin squad. Qualifying for CL again should open up the funds to improve it this time around so we should struggle less?

Tiresias Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I mean for the record i'm really excited to qualify for the champions league and hope we do! I am just more agreeing europa league after the initial disappointment would not be the end of the world at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I'm definitely wanting Man City to win. That would secure Europa League, even if it's very likely we will get at least that, it's still not guaranteed. Plus it would give Bmouth and Fulham something to play for when they do play Man City in the final 2 matches, and also, while it shouldn't matter, and wouldn't take away the great moment, it would still feel a bit weird, us ending our long trophy drought, the massive celebrations, masses on the streets, only for Crystal Palace to win a bigger trophy barely 2 months later, so yeah, come on Man City.

Paullow Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 On a side note, on the recent 'United' for Man Utd, I am quite guilty with referring to Man City and just City, and had to amend it twice in the above passage before hitting send, because it's the same principles, but can easily see why many neutrals would refer to Man Utd as just United.

Geogaddi Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Some of the posts and panic in here is crazy . I wonder if Villa and Chelsea fans are as hysterical as some of ours as they are both in much worse situations than us . We could get beat 5-0 tomorrow and nothing changes .

jackflap Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Pretty good chance that Everton won't even have League position to play for next weekend. If they beat Southampton at home tomorrow and Wolves fail to beat Palace away midweek they can only finish 13th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 6th - still very doable that city, Chelsea and Villa finish above us yet. Away to Arsenal and in in form Everton has me a bit nervy to be honest.
