I think we still need to beat Spurs after getting something from Villa to be really confident about UCL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Did a predictor thing of just the top 8, had us finishing 3rd on 75 points, ahead of Man Utd on goal difference, Man Utd 4th also on 75 and Spurs 5th on 69. No idea if too optimistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 3 hours ago, Froggy said: I had always thought Liverpool were going to come back into it as well but there's no way they catch either of us now. It's between us two and Spurs for the two spots. It still pisses me off how Spurs seem to be picking up points through sheer fluke or bent refereeing like over the weekend. They should have been out of the picture as well if things hadn't gone their way so often with rank officiating. Hopefully that will even out over the last couple of months but probably the best outlook is to keep doing the business, and the CL places will look after themselves.

Stottie Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 For context with Spurs, their best eight game spell of the season was August-September, when they went 5-2-1. Since then they have lost pretty much every third game. They are currently four unbeaten, their second best spell of the season, but were well ropey against Brighton and threw away leads against both Everton and (rock bottom) Southampton. They're not exactly killing it. Our worst nine-game form of the season, which included three games without Bruno and Arsenal and Man City away, was 2-5-2 and would get us to 67. Spurs absolute best of 5-2-1 would get them to 70. We beat them on GD so they need to beat us on points. One more or fewer win either way and we finish above them. Slightly better than our absolute worst form of the season isn't a big ask given the way the team is playing. Over half our remaining games Chels, Spurs, Leic, Southampton, Leeds are against teams without a proper manager (!) We'll be fine and do it by four plus points, meaning its settled before the final day. We'll get more, but I still suspect 65 plus GD would be enough.

Sounds strange I know, but I’d rather reset the run so that Spurs at home starts a new winning run of games Why not both? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 If we beat Spurs it's done like. Cannot see them overturning a 6+ point difference. We'd have to lose 3 or 4 and that won't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Just focused on beating Villa we do that and confidence is sky high. Second focus is injuries. Let’s get ASM and Miggy fit with nobody else going down. Without injuries we are 70+ points. Likewise if spurs lose Kane for 3+ games it’s all over for them. He’s having one of his best ever seasons. If he plays all 38 games like he’s on track to do - he’ll score 30+ goals. If he sits out 5, they’re done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Chat starting to permeate through other threads. Granted, not there yet, but getting closer and closer to the return of some form of European football back at SJP. Sure there’s loads of helpful sites that we’ve all been resigned to having no relevance to us in recent times, so let’s get them all shared as and when required. I do remember the below site being the nuts for all your coefficient needs from the last time we qualified: https://kassiesa.net/uefa/index.html And just because, here’s the details of next seasons finals: CL - Sat 01/06/24 - Wembley Stadium, London EL - Wed 22/05/24 - Aviva Stadium, Dublin ECL - Wed 29/05/24 - TBC May 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
