midds Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 10 points from the remaining 4 homes and we're virtually there. I think we'll overhaul Forest now and stay ahead of Chelsea and Villa too but expect City to pass us and finish 3rd. I'd go: City Us Forest Villa Chelsea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means even if we lost to Villa, we’d have the opportunity to either gain 2 points back on both of them, or 3 points against 1 of them if we beat Ipswich.

Superior Acuña Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 It's a lesson to me in how imperfect a good team can be for spells, and to chill out a bit. There was a time around November and then again after the Fulham defeat that shortly followed Bournemouth where I just couldn't see us being top 5 - we just blew too many games. Yet here we are.

Expand It would be an amazing outcome and I'd be delighted with the achievement - especially if we've really emphatically earned it - say if we finish third. I just prefer the EL as a competition and have so many demons I'd love to see vanquished by this NUFC. All of those exits in the noughties were very painful. I've no great affection for the CL and think the new format - for any PL team - is a jeopardy-free, low-stakes, bloated trudge. Way moreso than the previous format was. It's regrettable that the other tournaments are the same and (to counter my own point), the EL 'group stage' would probably make for an uninteresting campaign, due to the sheer amount of opportunities to achieve the necessary points target. If we did something remarkable like finished 2nd or 3rd I'd be more up for it because it would feel very earned. It's daft that literally a quarter of the league get into Europe's premier competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
