timeEd32 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 1 minute ago, M4 said: Crazy season, really. Still feel we dropped some unnecessary points in the first half of the season - and yet here we are. Just shows how difficult the league's been for everyone this year. Really hoped we had gotten more goals against Leicester to get that GD up, as it will be like an extra point in the run in. Two games later - here we also are. Just love this team. Every game feels like life or death, but you can stumble quite a bit every season and finish 4th/5th. It’s title races that usually allow for very little margin of error. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Beat Villa and we could give Arsenal a real push for 2nd. Mightn't even be a push if they start saving players for the CL. We've bought ourselves a free hit tonight, think Villa might be the one we might drop a few points but the perfect game after that to restore things.

Paullow Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 1/20 at PP now. Not sure if you can bet on a team not finishing in the top 5 at a traditional bookie, but must be around 10/1 now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Chances for City and/or Chelsea to drop something this weekend. Don't think we will on account of it being too much and too good - but if we beat Villa and points are dropped there. It'd demoralise everyone else, suspect they'll be only thinking about 4th and 5th from that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 9 hours ago, Superior Acuña said: We're on 12 wins from 16 in the league since that Brenford shit away. 18 from 23 including the cups. 4 defeats in normal time and one AET. That's over 4 months, with all the defeats coming within 6 weeks in late Jan-Feb. Since Brentford away (league only) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I don't want to get too carried away, as it's not been that many games yet. However, since winning the cup, it feels like a monumental shift in our mindset has occurred. Our elite players are taking this challenge of finishing in the top 4/5 as nothing short of business as usual. We'll probably drop some points between now and the end of the season, but fuck me. I am so excited by what can happen with this team. If we make CL, I really feel like the floodgates will open as we'll be here as genuine contenders. We got some exciting times ahead, that's for damn sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfmk2 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 The elephant in the room is City getting done for the FFP charges, which makes our chances all the more promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 We'll beat Ipswich and Chelsea. Chelsea will be like the Spurs game two years ago. I reckon if we have to beat Everton we'll hammer them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delayed til the summer so won't affect his season. Really looking forward to Villa game now. Given ourselves a free hit to go there and knock them out the race. All the pressure should be on them to win. Will still be very tough and could still lose, but our players had an easy 2nd half today, have a week off after villa and are in fabulous form. As others said the elite players look like they are taking this upon themselves with Howe missing and just doing what needs to be done. As long as Tonali and Isak stay fit, we can go to win every one of those remaining games and have this wrapped up ema few games early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Looking at the evolution of the 22/23 team to this season's vintage and one difference is the celebrations. 22/23 seemed to be kneeslide city, almost like it was pure emotion each game. Distinct lack of the slide this year in comparison, this is all business Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cf Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 2 hours ago, WilliamPS said: Villa will really target this game as they have City away on Tuesday and the cup semi final on Saturday after. Losing both league games could finish off their CL hopes, losing the cup semi ends any hopes of a trophy. I reckon they’ll go all in on Saturday and then play the B team (which beat Forest away so no pushovers) at City. I think this will be the toughest game left this season, but a win will finish off Villa as a CL rival - fantastic opportunity In this hypothetical situation of Villa putting more effort into one game then it makes more sense to do it against City as they're closer in the table.

t00nt00n313 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Mad to think that there was a point in the league this season where we only got 7 points from 11 games and now we're third and have won the second most games in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to hate us though. All their staff seem to be genuinely riled up by Tindall and their players seem to have abit of needle when we play. Thankfully we've out done them in the last 3 meetings and I'm hopeful we could do it again. I think if they get too emotional it could cost them. We're going into it confident and if they play it too desperate we could pick them off. Was fearful of it before but looking forward to it now. Free hit for us essentially.

The College Dropout Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I’m be earmarked 68 points for awhile now that will be safe. I think we should get that, just win the home games and that’s assured. 71 beats the 4th season. That can also happen. If Arsenal get to the CL final. We’ll get a result there for sure.
