We probably do have a margin for error TBH, the problem is you don’t know what it is until the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) Dont really get what you guys mean by must win. With a draw we are still 4th like. Its not like its impossible to win vs Arsenal in their current form. Not loving our chances with a draw, but far from over. Dont take it for granted that Villa will win vs Manu away and that Forest (1W 1D 4L their last 6) will win their games either.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I've thought a while that a win and 2 draws could do it, but obvs you ideally want the win against Chelsea to relax things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I maintain that the pressure being kept on us is no bad thing, especially when two of our three remaining games are at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Always thought we needed to beat Chelsea and Everton to secure CL football. Nothing has changed. The Amex point was a good one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely agree. Things like this and the domestic cup runs will hopefully end up being good practice for when we’re after the title and European trophies.

Superior Acuña Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) It simply isn’t a must win. It would be a very important win. We’d cease to favourites to make the top 5 if we don’t win . But it’s not a must win. Unless people think the Arsenal is a dead rubber if we draw v Chelsea ?? ? Edited May 10 by Superior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lucky draw or a loss in this would really give us the heebiejeebies for the other two imo, whereas a win would do the opposite and we'd go into the last two full of confidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola14 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) I think the Arsenal fear is largely down to our appalling record at their ground bar this season's cup game and it's their last home game so should be up for it I keep telling myself if we don't get CL at least we'll win the Europa next season Edited May 10 by Ginola14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we were to get Europa league, when the dust settles that combined with winning our first trophy for 70 years and itll still have been a fantastic season. We’ll still sign some qualify players this summer. Sometimes you have to go back to the misery of Ashley and Bruce to remember what things were like. This is where I’ve been at the last few days.

So one more win and we're there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
