Turnbull2000 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 If we hadn't lost Isak for four months, we'd possibly be 7-10 points better off by now as well. Mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoricGinola Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Beat Brentford in Saturday they'll be out the equation (albeit it's a long shot for them). We've then got key games against Spurs and Brighton to come at St James'. What a chance we've got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoricGinola Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 70 points was enough for CL last season. 67 in 2020/21, 63 in 19/20. I reckon we need another 5 wins, 6 to be absolutely sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack j Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 If we'd turned a couple of them frustrating draws into wins we'd practically be there If me auntie had balls etc I know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Still utterly convinced we won’t get top 4. Yet I just watched us win 5-1 in about 3rd gear Fuck you Mike Ashley for fucking breaking my brain. Above all, what a fantastic group of lads we have giving absolutely everything every week for us. Proud of them no matter what. But let’s do this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Hadn't even considered the fact that Man U keeping up with us tonight meant cutting Brentford well and truly adrift. We realistically shouldn't be looking any lower than 6th now. If we do it means we've suffered an absolute capitulation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Think we'll win at the weekend now like. The momentum is with us. Think it'll buy us one slip up at Villa before we kill off Spurs the game after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Half of the top 10 have been in the Championship in the last 6 years. That's pretty impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 My predictor still has us finishing joint with Spurs and 1pt behind Liverpool but thats with Spurs beating us. Avoid defeat vs them and I'll start to be confident. Brentford and Villa are two bloody hard away games before then, though. Will take 2pts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 6 wins from the last 10 will do it, and we've still got 5 games left at home out of those 10. Still would genuinely be happy with Europa League, as absolutely class as the Champions League would be. Unless we absolutely bomb now, top-6 looks a given.

Emotic Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Insane that we have the players in the league with 1) second highest number of big chances created; 2) second highest number of assists per minute played; and 3) second highest number of goals scored per minute played. What a ride, man. Two of the three above are just hitting their stride too, after coming back from lengthy spells of injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 4 wins 4 draws lose 2 would put us on 69. Suuurely we can manage this. It's looking good. Game by game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(we got 77/72 in 93-94 and 94-95 when there were 22 teams). Edited April 6, 2023 by Superior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a test of ChatGPT, but it says our best totals in PL era are 1995-96: 73 points 2001-02: 71 points 1996-97: 68 points 2002-03: 69 points Yes, it could be achievable this year. 20 points from 10 games to match the record.

Guest Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Beat one of Brentford & Villa away. Beat 3 of Leeds & Everton (A) plus Southampton & Leicester (H) Beat one of Spurs & Brighton at home. 'Should' be job done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I forgot Tottenham has such a good start to the season, 5 wins and 2 draws from their first 7 (so would have been a huge 9 points clear of us at that early stage with us only on 8 points), they then lost to Arsenal, but won at Brighton and beat Everton, so after 10 games, they had 7 wins and 23 points (2.3 PPG), which is a fantastic return, but in their last 19 league games they have W8 D3 L8, so only 27 points and a PPG of 1.42 - they got nearly the same points tally in their first 10 than they have in their last 19. They also lost to Forest in the League Cup, Sheff Utd in the FA Cup and limped out of the CL in that same period, so it's been pretty average stuff basically since we beat them in late October.

Paullow Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I'm generally pessimistic when it comes to NUFC, always said I'd be very happy with 6th and never really let myself believe we could get 4th, but if you were looking at it from a neutral perspective then it obviously looks very good for us at the moment. It'll probably come back to bite, but it's sort of the first time that I'm thinking we will get there. A potentially tricky match out of the way last night, just 10 to go, and some winnable games in there. With GD, which wasn't harmed at all last night, it will possibly just take 16 more points from the last 10 (as long as the GD is at left maintained). 5W and a D, 4W and 4D etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 We don't need to worry too much about other teams. We are almost fully fit. In good form. Confidence is high. Creating chances. Scoring goals. Strikers scoring. Keeping it tight. We just need to maintain down the final stretch. 5-6 wins and keep the losses down to 2 or 3 and we're probably 3rd let alone 4th. In the last 10 we just need to keep it up like we've done all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
