Just put £20 on Liverpool winning tomorrow and then putting winnings on each game until they fail to win one or they win 5. Work out roughly 5 or 6 to 1. Then you have the back up of us qualifying still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't finish lower than 7th which is a ECL spot because of the FA Cup final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it due to the possibility of West Ham winning the EC, which then qualifies them for the EL - would that in turn remove an EL spot from the league and move the ECL spot up to 6th? Or does an English club winning the ECL (whilst not qualifying for Europe through the league) add another spot to the PL for European Competitions, meaning eight teams qualify for Europe?

We actually can't finish lower than 6th because Villa play Spurs too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely find being good ridiculously stressful. Keep re-checking fixtures, odds, percentages, weighing up permutations. We're better than I can ever remember us being and yet I stress watch through games with my heart pounding along. I think making the CL is a particularly huge deal for me this season because I think it's a way to skip forward so much of FFP restrictions. It can supercharge our progress. I think EL or ECL could actually hinder us - getting a load more games but without the additional revenue or pulling power. Its exhausting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If West Ham get in it’s as an 8th team so doesn’t effect anything else. We have top 7 assured as both Villa and Spurs can’t catch us only one can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Leeds problem is their defenders are shit and their keeper, despite being a good shot-stopper, is error prone. They also have zero cover in midfield. If Allardyce succeeds in moulding that shower of shite into a solid defensive unit he will deserve a huge amount of credit. Fuck knows where the goals will come from though - Bamford is a 1 in 5/6 striker and they create about 3 shit chances per game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norseman Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Some world class disaster scenarios being laid out on this forum lately. I think it must be PTSD from previous years gone by, because the evidence points in another direction. We don't really need to even look at what other teams can do. It's very much in our own hands. We'll give everyone a good game right now. Arsenal won't be looking forward to Sunday. I can see us batter Leeds next week. Then we have Brighton at home which will be a tough game admittedly, but see Arsenal. It can be done and dusted after Brighton no matter what Liverpool and Brighton do in other games, and after that we have Leicester who has had a poor season and then Chelsea in free fall. I'm relishing our games now. We are brilliant most of the time, and we have proven several times lately that even if we concede first, we overwhelm teams and batter them into submission. Look what happened in the last three games, so really there is no reason to be nervous. Now, if it comes down to the final game vs Chelsea it will be a different story, but I'm confident we secure top 4 before that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Appreciate the confidence of many. Proud to admit I'm a bed-wetting fanny. PTSD indeed. My mate said to me the other day; ' if we were 9 points behind with 15 to play for, would you fancy us getting in?'. The answer is of course not. It's just hard for me to shift my mentality - hopefully will come in a year or two when we continue to win games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) Of course I'm nervous, I'm just trusting in maths. We're in a better position than our competitors and we're playing well. Logically speaking we'll do it. The games will run out and, before we know it, it'll be done. Edited May 3, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
