He's been pretty conservative with some of our results though. Drawing with Spurs, Brighton, Arsenal and Everton and losing to Chelsea. Rest wins.

I could see them winning their next two, but their fixture list is pretty brutal after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Puppets Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) I personally can't see us not winning at least 3 games, but could feasibly win 5 in my opinion, if we show up and perform how we have been. St James' will be rocking for Spurs, Brighton, Arsenal... I could definitely see us winning two of those. Weirdly I'm more concerned about the likes of Southampton and Leicester at home and Everton away. Games where the crowd might not be bang up for it which can sometimes seep down onto the pitch.

Turnbull2000 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Us 3rd and Villa 4th would be perfect, but not sure how'd I'd cope with the anxiety if it went to last day. Otherwise us and Man Utd taking those two spots please. Man U will always be massive, whereas Spurs can be permanently knocked off their Bix Six perch. Don't want Liverpool near it as the manager and fans are right a bunch of c*nts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to happen this season. I hope to fuck it isn't that close. Imagine the last day, us away to fucking Chelsea and its still in the balance, and your prediction could see us miss out on Europe altogether. Lets get this shit wrapped up well before then.

The atmosphere at that should be electric. Also find it a tad ironic that we'd need to beat Leicester, a club whom under Ashley we admired/were jealous of to the nth degree and who have been within touching distance of the top 4 in two of the last three seasons to secure top 4 for ourselves and could potentially end up relegating them. Madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 This is great news for our Top 4 push. Brighton and Leicester back to back "under the lights", it will be in one of these games when we confirm our top 4 status IMO. Fuck dreary lunch time or 3pm kick offs. These are the ones for me. Red hot atmosphere against one side that will hopefully be on the beach and another that in horrific form (currently). 2 home wins. Howay the lads.

STM Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Did another predictor, again trying to be negative about our scores. Wins: Southampton, Brighton and Leicester Draws: Everton, Leeds, Spurs Loses: Arsenal and Chelsea (fuck knows why) Finish on 68 points, 2 points ahead of Liverpool in 5th. I've done about 6 predictors and never had us finishing below 4th. Like I've said before, the other teams just seem to cut each others throats. Might sound daft but, we could do with Man United smashing everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye sod that. Now that we're up there I want the number of competitive teams to be as little as possible. It's hard enough with 5-6 clubs with massive budgets to contend with without Brighton being pains in the arses too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'll finish lower than 7th anyway. Villa's fixtures are too hard. Edited April 21, 2023 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, this has us lose (HA!) at Chelsea on the final day while some of the others won. So it would've been sealed by match 37. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 3 hours ago, astraguy said: Didn't realize we have 3 games this week,this is the week we will know if we can make the top 4 Just noticed. All three look difficult now. Probably mainly because of the stress/felt sense of needing to win them. Spurs will be fighting with all they have for Campions League, Everton are level on points with Forest and fighting against their first relegation. Southampton, surely relegated, are capable of a performance like last night. Win them, particularly tomorrow, and we earn a bit of a buffer for the five games in May.

The Fountain Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 If Liverpool go on the run which many are predicting then we'll need more points than them as if we're level they'll have a better goal difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
