Lush Vlad Posted yesterday at 07:26 Share Posted yesterday at 07:26 (edited) If we win tomorrow. I’m actually pretty sweet on our chances of CL. Some tough games left, for sure. But plenty around us are stuttering a bit, we play the likes of Brighton and Villa who based on recent performances. We shouldn’t be maybe quite so scared about as a few weeks ago. Also Chelsea at SJP and they are nowhere near as good on the road. Despite results, they’re hardly playing well at home, either. Going to get incredibly tight, mind. Now looks like Forest are going to get dragged back into it. So them, City, Villa, Chelsea, NUFC and maybe one other from 8th-10th all vying for 3 positions.

Looking at Forests fixtures they “should” be ok but if Wood is out for a period and they start stuttering all fixtures become tricky. I’m pretty confident of beating Chelsea at home because the crowd will be mental and radge if a win gets us top four or 5. Still feels to me like this initial block of games going it other Villa game are key. They could really cement CL qualification.

For now at least. Villa have been feeling similar teething pains to us, after treading the same CL path and squad/PSR restrictions we did. I'm unlikely to ever drop my Lee Dixon inspired Arsenal hatred but Manure aside I've lost a ton of my anger to clubs. Palace don't bother me, they are below us. My hatred for Bournemouth has gotten stronger because they turn into Real Madrid everytime we play them. Edited yesterday at 08:03 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyn davies Posted yesterday at 08:27 Share Posted yesterday at 08:27 We get 10 out of the next four games including Leicester game tomorrow, I think we are in with a chance of CL, still remote but possibilities are there, depends totally on other clubs results obviously, but are the guys upto it, will be the big question.

The Fountain Posted yesterday at 09:27 Share Posted yesterday at 09:27 Get 11 in the 5 matches we'll be odds on in the betting, Leicester, Man Utd, Palace, Ipswich and Everton and 5 points in the 4 games we'll be odds against, Chelsea, Brighton, Arsenal and Villa. That'll be enough for top 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted yesterday at 10:06 Share Posted yesterday at 10:06 (edited) When you look at the squads City ,Villa and Chelsea have plus the money they have spent it's mental that we are competing with them really .

MagPar Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago If you want to shoot me,please make it a clean head shot but maybe qualifying for the conference league is the best thing for us. Going by this year's teams we'd probably be favourites to win it. A nice European trophy the year after winning the League cup, then we can think about the Champions League. We could really struggle in next seasons Champions League with our lightweight squad. Wheras we'd waltz into the deeper stages of the Conference League as long as Howe takes it seriously.

Optimistic Nut Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago (edited) Fuck it, let's go for 3rd. If someone had told us in August we'd have won a cup and have two games in hand to go within a point of 3rd, we'd have snapped their hands off.

Nah, qualifying for CL is always best for us, financially as well as it being what our players want However it's not something I'm demanding as although we are well placed for it there is a fair bit of competition For me I do want Europa League as a minimum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed Tonali because we made the CL two seasons ago. Would we have won the league cup without him? Debatable. Whilst you’re right in that in the short-term, the ECL offers the quickest route to another trophy, it doesn’t boost our long term prospects for continually winning trophies the way CL does.
