Marriner is VAR for the Liverpool game tomorrow, fucks sake.

It's based on 'guaranteeing' Europe, not what you need to actually make it. 

 

I think this thinking is what is making people nervous, thinking you have to make the absolute maximum amount of points to do it. 

So I didn’t understand it after all ?

It’s certainly not a forgone conclusion that Brentford lose to Liverpool. 

 

It's not a foregone conclusion that we beat Leicester or Chelsea for that matter. Both have players who can hurt you, I don't see any easy games for us at this point. That's why I think Howe has the right idea not to look too far ahead and just make sure we beat Arsenal on Sunday.

Marriner can sit in front of the VAR screen wearing a full Liverpool kit at this point, he can do fuck all if we win a couple of our remaining games.

[Dokko]

Liverpool, manure & arsenal to win is 7-1. I'll take anything that stops that bet from happening. 

[HawK]

Don't listen to the haters @mikejaxer, I appreciate the visuals

Arsenal aside, our fixture list isn't that bad at all:

 

Leeds - 17th. Recently been humped at home to Palace and Liverpool and will be a week into to implementing the plans of their third manager of the season.

Brighton - 6th. Brighton are a are a really tidy outfit who will set up in a way that exposes a lot of our weakness. Even so, they're hitting a rough bit of form and it'll be the second week of a hectic schedule under the lights at SJP. 

Leicester - 16th. Showed a bit of fight under Smith, but still failed to beat relegation rivals Leeds and Everton in recent games. Plenty of talent in attacking positions, but they're absolute bobbins at the back and it's another evening game at SJP.

Chelsea - 12th. They're as bad as anybody in the league right now. Clearly Lampard hasn't given them the shot in the arm they required and they look to have downed tools for the season. 

 

If don't get seven points from those fixtures plus Arsenal, we only have ourselves to blame really.

Based on his performance last night he'll be helping Brentford cos he might as well have worn a Man-U top

He just seems to side with the 'bigger' team in any given game, as do most refs but Marriner is fucking blatant about it.

So… Brentford can’t make Europe of any kind at all?! ?

Yes they can but they are dependent on others dropping points.

 

They would do well to get 59 points and that's unlikely enough to get Europe.

Agreed, I don’t think any game is a forgone conclusion really

Except Liverpool games of course.

That fucking Liverpool away game man, i'm still not properly over it yet, i will be when we get top 4 though as ultimately it won't have mattered.

 

I felt so bloody gutted and robbed after that game.

May as well give them the points now, and the opposition may as well save the bus fare

I was more annoyed by the robbery at home to Palace a week later. 

[STM]

Just so I've got this correct:

 

Liverpool play Brentford who've been excellent throughout the season, sit in the top half and have one of the best strikers in the league..... easy win for Liverpool.

 

Next week we play Leicester, who are a complete mess and we've beaten twice already this season.... tricky game, could go either way.

Aye same, after that i remember thinking how annoyed i'd be if those games stopped us getting a European place come the end of the season, though i was thinking more Europa or conference league at that point.

 

Still could stop champs league as of right now which is annoying but we should be ok.

They play Leicester away a week before our fixture too

Not next week like but agree with the sentiment.

[duo]

In the past maybe I'd have been worried but this Newcastle team doesn't get phased.  We're there on merit - Liverpool have won last couple of games due to dodgy *cough* decisions - as a team they are awful.  Their luck will run out and they'll get another battering - most likely by Brentford.

Don’t forget that Liverpool are now more likely to win because Brighton beat Man U last night.

6/1 on us not finishing top 4 on Paddy if anyone needs a safety.

Even better than that: Predicting the following top 4 in the correct order is 16/1 on sky:

 

City

Arsenal

Man U

Liverpool

 

If we're going to drop out of the top 4 then that's the order it'll finish imo.

Groundbreaking top 4 right there.

Let's hope we finish 3rd and Brighton 4th.

 

[Paullow]

I got 17/2 at PPs the other day, but just saw that BetVictor are offering 10/1 for us not to finish top 4 if anyone is interested:

Saw it via oddschecker:

At least that way you know you'd definitely profit it the worst happened. You'd be doubly gutted if we missed out and then like Liverpool somehow finished 3rd not 4th, or it was Brighton pipping us and you'd spent £20+ as an 'emotional hedge' for nothing.
