toon25 Posted Monday at 20:04 Share Posted Monday at 20:04 In our fixture list, we've got only 2 sides who have something to play for - one of those will have lost the league title already. Arsenal and Chelsea. That might count for something v. the fixtures our CL rivals have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelofTheFourth Posted Monday at 20:11 Share Posted Monday at 20:11 I can't even have the mindset of 'well we would smash europa like spurs and man united ecause looking at the other league tables it will most likely be Dortmond and Juventus in it next season. Its comical how lucky they have both been." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted Monday at 20:11 Share Posted Monday at 20:11 1 hour ago, Erikse said: You're focusing too much on their 2024 form over here. That doesn't matter anymore. Their stats are 9-3-3 since their terrible form pre 2025. As mentioned all of the losses were to top 7 teams. Ofcourse they may draw a game or two, but that's not enough. They need to have a serious dip in form to not get it over the line. I really dont see why their January results should be so much more relevant than their December results. Whether you count the games from March, February, December or the start of the season they will all show that they won half of their games. Its only when you start from January they will have good stats. Its you I would say that are focusing too much on that particular period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted Monday at 20:22 Share Posted Monday at 20:22 Villa loss would mean that we can afford to lose against Arsenal and draw against Chelsea. Assuming Chelsea dont win the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted Monday at 20:34 Share Posted Monday at 20:34 Yeah, of the school of thought that a draw keeps both ticking over nicely in what's probably each's hardest remaining game, so wouldn't be as good with it as normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted Monday at 20:38 Share Posted Monday at 20:38 It's also a potential dress rehearsal for the FA Cup final too. Can see Emery maybe keeping something up his sleeve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewel Posted Monday at 20:43 Share Posted Monday at 20:43 I'm not worried. It is still in our hands. We win all our games, and CL football is guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted Monday at 20:49 Share Posted Monday at 20:49 I think a lot of the pessimism is rooted in wanting this to be handled comfortably. We just had a worst case scenario weekend (after a brilliant week) and we're still 4th. Our next game is at home against one of the worst teams in the league and we play once a week for the rest of the season. The reason the betting odds still like us and why so many predictors come out in our favor is we're still in a very strong spot, but that includes all the permutations where we qualify on the final day by a point or by GD. It might be a little torturous but I'm still very confident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we miss out on the CL it's not the end of the world, as the Europa League would represent a good opportunity to win another trophy. Sure we may lose a purple or two, but so be it. It will just take us a bit longer to get to where we want to go, but I'm confident we will get there. More than anything, I'm just really enjoying the journey and seeing what we can achieve.

We’re still in an incredible position and should do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
