I reckon a few will be keeping them for next season 

Different ball game next season I feel. This season feels like a chance to be grabbed to speed everything up and skip forward with the build.

Next season I think I'll feel were established even if we drop a few places, know we'll just continue growing - whilst that's the case this season, the expediting things is unique. More 1995 under KK - nice to quali but not the end of the world and we'll be in the mix, even hungrier, next season.

But if we lose 1-0 to Leicester and lose 2-0 to Chelsea, that +7 becomes +4 and Liverpool could easily hammer Southampton. 

Lads if you get to this level of handwringing it’s time to take a step back.  

[ExiledGeordie]

So basically assuming we didn’t get anymore points in the last 2 games we would just have to maintain our +7 goal difference? Not that I think this will happen, I think we’ll win Monday and at least draw v Chelsea.

[BonesJones]

Man City after the wealthy owners finished 10th in the first season.

 

We're doing alright tbf.

 

[McDog]

Stayed off the forum today as I recorded Spurs game and Man U game. Just finished up watching them. Liverpool drawing at Anfield is fantastic.

Go Mags!

[cannybagoftudor]

So can we position our 11 men in the goal on Monday - so that all angles are covered and just sit there whilst balls bounce off us for 90 mins - or is that unsportsmanlike ?

 

[McDog]

Am I reading the table wrong or do Liverpool need to win their next game by 7 goals to catch Newcastle even if we lose the last two?

Edit: That seems to be the case!

IF Newcastle lose, then it would depend by how many goals. Liverpool wouldn’t then need to score 7.

If Newcastle lose both we would be at least -2 on our GD, so 5 goals

Man, sometimes I do not think things through.

Of course, if we get shelled we get caught. Just get a point against Leicester and bob's your uncle.

[gjohnson]

Surely Man U should be more concerned about losing out on goal difference?

Other than earning a couple million extra in prize money, is there any meaningful benefit to finishing 3rd instead of 4th? (Apart from the glory of it being a better achievement).

1) Money is nice and 2) let's do it anyway are the other main reasons

For you English lads and lasses I would think so. For me, it's 2M more, in the larger scheme of things not that important.

No.

First of all if we lost our final 2 games, we would then be only 5 goals ahead of Liverpool, and that is only accounting for a 1 goal defeat in both games.

 

Secondly, they play Southampton.

If we don’t get any more points and Liverpool get plus seven then I don’t have a problem saying we don’t deserve it.

 

 Not gonna happen though, we need one point ffs

I know, I didn't think that through. They could win by a few goals at St Mary's easy.

Southampton’s biggest defeat this season is 4 - 1 and that was us and Man City. Liverpool need to do something nobody else has done this season.

 

 When will people just stop worrying and enjoy the place we’re in?

Liverpool's GD is only in the same post code as ours because of the 7 they put past that disgraceful Man Utd side, most of their recent wins have been by a single goal.

I was responding to the question.

I think we’ll at least draw on Monday night.

I also think we are capable of drawing against Chelsea on the final day.

[wiseman]

2 games to go, and only a single point needed to qualify for the champions league is absolutely astounding really. Season has been one of the best in decades.

 

Or 2 games to go before the premier league knows how big a points deduction it needs to give us.

Fair enough - it just annoys me slightly because we’ve had an amazing week with the Brighton and Liverpool result and we’re 99% of the way there but we still get pages discussing the 1%.

+16 off Man United and Bournemouth alone.

[BlackandWhite]

Please have some sympathy for serial worriers like myself, who still worry about the 0.5% chance we won’t make it lol.

 

It’s something the Mike Ashely era has scarred a lot of us with. Disaster was always around the corner, good things were never going to happen in his era. Right now; I am stressing over us barely having a midfield for Monday. 

 

Some of us healed from the Ashely era the day the takeover went through, but me myself still haven’t fully healed from the trauma of the Mike Ashley era. Seeing us the UCL might be the right antidote, though.
