Skeletor Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Would be nice to beat Arsenal and go into the Everton game with only the worry of whether we'll finish 2nd or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaj Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 A bit disappointing given they were both drawing at half time but was expecting this today so it is what it is. Still feel there is a decent chance of a slip up from Forest this weekend and then hopefully we can do our job anyway. With the pressure on - Villa, Chelsea and Man City all have potentially tricky games last day of the season as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) Everton with that cunt in goal and their fans would love nothing more than throwing a spanner in our works, it’s to be hoped we pull something off on Sunday, or will be a nervy last day.

ponsaelius Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Could do with Forest drawing. Enough to pretty much guarantee they finish below us, but still have enough of an outside chance of overtaking Chelsea and Villa to motivate them to try last game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 As much as the Mancs are fucking shite, should they beat Spurs there might be a party mood around OT and anything can happen. I’d still be nervy about that game if I was a Villa fan don’t think it’s a gimme with it being their last home game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Expected the results tonight so not fussed For anyone that's panicking, would you swap positions with any of the other clubs around us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Chelsea can expect easy 3 points out of the game. Chelsea's away form is not too good either. Forest will want to win at home either way. Though I may be a bit concerned if Forest lose at West Ham, leaving them nothing to play for and possible squad rotation. At end of the day it's up to us, one win out of the two games and ensuring we don't get a honking if we lose the other game, will see us qualify.

Stifler Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 We are on the same situation since before tonight, win 1 out of 2 and we are there (barring an unprecedented goal difference swing). We were always going to need to win 1 game due to how tight it is, and how many teams are going for it. I honestly think our game on Sunday could go either way. It’s not a nailed on defeat it was a few weeks ago. I think our players will be up for it, and we have already shown that we can beat Arsenal, and beat them away this season.

Better to just put a bet directly on us not winning the either and Villa and Chelsea winning theirs. Should give pretty good odds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Just going to have to beat Everton. Easier said than done in a one off game. They're negative spoilers on a good day. Thing I dread the most is this of all seasons ending in disappointment when it really shouldn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) Even if we lose sunday, it would be very helpful if it's not a 4+ battering so we can go into the last game with a GD/GS advantage over Chelsea. Nice that although they won it was just 1-0. That way if Chelsea Forest draw (a reasonably likely scenario), a draw would be enough for us regardless of Villa and regardless of West Ham v Forest.

Yeah, 93% sounds about right, we're good, mate. One more win out of the next two and we're in. And don't forget how Eddie's team always delivers when the pressure's on? I can't remember us ever losing a must-win game at St. James' Park. We'll thrash Everton. Eddie's team has proven it time and time again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Seems unbelievable, but could City actually be the team which misses out. Unlikely I know, but they are against two teams who can cause problems (as we know). Bournemouth and Fulham not in the best of form though either.
