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

That's right. To finish 7th we'd need;

 

Villa win/draw

Forest win

Newcastle lose by at least 4 goals

 

eg. Forest 2-1 Chelsea, Newcastle 0-4 Everton would (I think) have Chelsea in 6th above us on goal difference (+19 to +18)

 

That's a class foundation to have going into the weekend: Europa minimum unless Everton batter is

I'd much rather get CL by earning it than by fortunate results from other teams struggling. It's firmly in our hands. Our staff/coaches/players need our support - regardless of who is playing, fit or hurt.

One final rally from a hostile home crowd please!

If we draw and Villa draw for example, we'll still have 100% earned it.

If the crowd and team is up for this in the way they were up for Spurs 6-1, PSG, and the Arsenal semifinal then Everton frankly have no chance. Hopefully there's an early goal and then we make it comfortable because it will definitely get nervy in the second half if we're not winning by 2+.

Any member of the crowd not up for this confiscate their tickets!

Or like they were against Everton themselves at home back in February 2022. One of the best post-takeover atmospheres.

I'd rather play almost any team but Everton, though. They are shit but, similar to palace, we seem to struggle with their particular brand of shittiness.

 

Add Wolves to that I guess. Everton, Palace, Wolves, and any team that's good, those are the ones to stay away from 

Everton are far from shit. Moyes has stiffened up the the defense and has the whole team more organised. 3 points from them is definitely not a gimmie. I think the only teams I'd rather have are Leicester or The Saints. Even those games would be banana skins.

It's saying the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Don't see your neighbour and think, 'He's got a better car. A more attractive wife.

We all wake up and go, 'Oh, I ache
I'm not 18 anymore' I'm 39 I'm in my 30s.

 

But so what? At least I've got my health. If you've got one leg, at least you haven't got two legs missing.

If you have lost both legs and both arms, just go, 'At least I'm not dead!' I'd rather be dead in that situation, to be honest. I'm not saying people like that should be put down.

 

I'm saying that in my life, I'd rather not live without arms and legs because I'm just getting into yoga, for one thing

 

 

 

 

I was just thinking this myself.

[Erikse]

So if Man City win today, their result vs Fulham doesn't matter to us from a top 5 perspective. It would only matter in terms of getting 3rd vs 4th (or 4th vs 5th should Chelsea somehow absolutely batter Forest).

???????

 

69 points for City would get them CL guaranteed. If they win today they will have 68 points.  Meaning they will need a draw to secure CL.  

 

It’s all going down to the last game regardless.

@Erikse is right though in that should they win tonight and move on to 68, there isn’t a realistic scenario where it’s Man City who stop us getting top 5.

 

As in, we’d have to win to overtake them, and if we win it’s effectively all good anyway.

Obviously I'll take fifth, but also I want top 4, above Chelsea and Villa, I don't want that bonus 5th CL spot. Tottenham were 5th last season!

Definetly want top 4. We'll be top 4 if we win, unless Chelsea also win by a margin of at least 3 more than we do.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I want as high a position as possible but I guess we might end up effectively joint with a couple of teams on points anyway.
