I guess the only way we move up to pot 3 is if there is more teams who qualify for the Champions League pot 4 who haven’t been in Europe for the last 10 seasons than there is places.

MagMal Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 The push for third is on for me, both Brighton and Man U will be knackered after that game and Brighton will be beat up emotionally as well. Spurs will draw their way to the end of the season and Man U will hopefully have one eye on the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Doubt they will catch us but the only “serious” threat I see now is Liverpool. Mostly because of their fixture list. Having said that it would take a collaps for us too. Tottenham look wrong in many ways and have tough games. Brighton have tough games too. Wouldn’t surprise me if we end up in 3rd either.

Expand FTFY While it wouldn’t be our first CL rodeo - and with our ownership, it won’t be the last - I would always want a group of big names. It must be depressing to be a Blackburn Rovers supporter, having only experienced one year of it, yet finding themselves in a group with Rosenberg, Spartak Moscow and Legia Warsaw.

Paullow Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 2 bigger names and one weaker one from pot 3 (like say Shakhtar or Salzburg this season) would be absolutely perfect. Probably should finish at least 3rd and extend the Euro journey, and have a shot at the Europa, and a chance to test ourselves against the very best. I still reference our wins over Juventus and Barcelona, far more than the Leverkusen's, Kiev's, Feyenoords etc. (even though that one was amazing).
