The College Dropout Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I think we’ll need a result either at Anfield, Emirates, Amex and Villa Park. I think we need a couple draws at least. Last year we got 3 points from those iiirc? And that’s assuming we beat Wham away and deal with everyone at home which hasn’t been the case this season.

The ‘I usually win a trophy in second season’ is ballsy. They’ve been so bad that idea should be dead in the water. Same with Man U. They shouldn’t be able to win any trophies this season. I think Fulham will do them in the FA Cup. It’s the Europa I think they might win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigen Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 You have good fixtures. Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City first 3 places. Then, i watched the fixtures and for me: Newcastle: 67 points Forest: 63 Chelsea: 62 Villa: 60 Bournemouth: 58 Brighton: 56 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigen Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 My prediction: Liverpool away: Lost West ham away: Draw Brentford home: Win Leicester away: Win Man Utd home: Win Palace home: Win Villa away: Lost Ipswich home: Win Brighton away: Draw Chelsea home: Win Arsenal away: Lost Everton home: Win Tot. 67 points.

Wolfcastle Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Just done a predictor for all the results and despite thinking all season (and pre-season) we woudn't get CL, we do, by a point from Chelsea, 2points from Brighton and 3points from Forest. 63points. Nice outcome but dreading the anxiety of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting close to looking at other clubs remaining fixtures time. Top 8 will more than likely mean Europe.

There's dedicated "Defending Champion/Champion of the League Below" spots for CL/EL/ECL winners now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought, could be wrong and can't be arsed to check, that the FA Cup got an EL place but if it's winners we're in CL it reverted to the next league placing. Don't the EL winners get a CL place as well ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Funnily enough this was posted on bbc Who gets in Europe?published at 18:27 Greenwich Mean Time 18:27 GMT There will be at least seven English teams playing in Europe next season, although that figure could rise to 11. However, that latter scenario is unlikely and would require Premier League sides winning every European competition in 2024-25 with certain teams finishing outside the top five. Normally the top four go into the Champions League, with the fifth-placed side going into the Europa League. However, the Premier League is currently on course to earn one of two extra Champions League spots, meaning a top-five finish would be enough. But if English sides win both the Champions League and Europa League (and they do not finish in the top five) that could mean seven Premier League teams would be in Europe's top club competition. In normal circumstances, two English sides will be in the Europa League, but that will rise to three if Chelsea win the Conference League (and finish outside the top five), with another team from England then going into the Conference League. So, for arguments sake, let's say no English team wins a European competition, but the Premier League gets an additional Champions League spot. Then, as it stands, this is who would be playing in Europe next season. Champions League: 1. Liverpool, 2. Arsenal, 3. Nottingham Forest, 4. Chelsea, 5. Manchester City. Europa League: 6. Newcastle, 7. Bournemouth. Conference League: 8. Brighton. (If a team from outside the top seven wins the FA Cup, they would go into the Europa League, Bournemouth would drop into the Conference League with Brighton missing out).

Erikse Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) I think it's starting to be fair to assume that Man City will get top 5 at this point? They've purely been losing to top teams since that loss vs Villa back in december (they've played 16 games since). Only draw in 2025 was away to Brentford, and the rest are wins. They still can't deal with the heavy hitters, but they take enough points against the rest. Edited February 26 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

t00nt00n313 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Loss against Liverpool was to be expected, we can still manage CL but we need to turn our performances around. Fortunately we have a break in PL games, and I'm hoping botman and Isak will be back next pl game. I reckon we can get 5th if we: Lose to Arsenal away - the hard game Get 2 wins and 2 losses out of Vila away, Everton at home, West ham away, and Brighton away - the games we have historically struggled with but are by no means unwinnable. Get draws from Chelsea at home, and Manu at home - games we could very well win but I don't feel comfortable enough calling. Beat Leicester away, Palace at home, Ipswich at home, and Brentford at home - games we should really in theory win. I think that's the most realistic course of events I can see and would land us on 64 points which I'm hoping would be enough for 5th but the issue is were so inconsistent.

We need to beat Chelsea and Man U at home. I think 5th will need 66-68 points. We need to find a mini-run. Chelsea and Forest already have the points on the board.
