The Europeometer™ (2024/25) - NUFC Qualify for Conference League (at least)

[Kanj]

If we’re not careful and Buck up we’re going to be 8th or 9th very soon.

That’s where I think we will be around, expect Brighton, Liverpool, Brentford and Villa to be above us.

Liverpool yes, the others I don't think so. Brighton possibly. I still think we'll finish 6th or 7th.

[Kanj]

Well our guys better learn to shoot on goal very soon. 

[Ronaldo]

I’m just concerned that if this continues we’re going to slide down the table and our better players are going to be on the phone to their agents in May. We’ve got to grow with players like Isak, Botman and Bruno.

Isak is probably more concerned with not playing games at the minute, rather than where we finish.

[maze]

What position would we be in if you count only the points after WC?

[The Butcher]

Rename this Europeometer. CL is gone.

[HaydnNUFC]

We're as it stands 5 points off 4th with 2 games in hand with the team in 4th still to play at home. It's hardly gone.

[RS]

8th

I’d be shocked if Brighton don’t finish above us, brilliant side and score loads of goals.

[Shearergol]

I think 7th is extremely realistic tbh 

[Nine]

European places are still the realistic goal, same as it was back in November/December.

[HaydnNUFC]

Only 'big 6' side left to play away from home is Chelsea on the last day of the season. Liverpool and Man City already played twice, all the others at home. 2 games in hand on Spurs.

 

Putting the ball into the net is only issue for me. Change it up at the top end of the pitch v Wolves. Need to be getting 6 points from these next 2 and it'll all look rosier.

January was a massive missed opportunity. I think everyone knew that at the end of January. We can only assume there must be a financial reason why.

 

Hindsight is easy but it was clear at the time it was a rare opportunity. Chelsea and Liverpool won't be this shit next season. They can and will throw massive money at the problem. Both already have.

The local reporters were briefed that none of our first choice targets were available.

It's back in our hands. We need to beat Wolves and Forest, though.

It's absolutely lifting. The club made it clear that FFP is an issue until our commercial revenue increase. They've also indirectly said that none of our first choice targets were available. 

 

Still that's not good enough for the FM-merchants who need us to qualify for the Champions League this season, who love to tediously trott it out every single week.

Because it's such an over used and boring statement I don't know whether to laugh or cringe.

 

We were the 5th highest spenders in January which based on everything we hear from the club in terms of FFP the club tried to push on as much as possible within the means they can operate.

[Gallowgate Toon]

There's still a lot left to play for, like. 1 or 2 results and then everything shifts again. With some tweaks, we can push on again as we still do a lot well.
