markjazzbassist Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Great results for us today. Tomorrow we need boro to beat united and man city to beat Liverpool. If we can get a favorable result in the derby united play west brom and arsenal have man city that weekend. Massive weekend for us.

London Blue Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Arsenal are in free fall, Pool were so so poor against Burnley, UTD have a fixture pile up. Next 2 games are key for us, if we can get 4 points then we have a chance for top 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 It's just good to be in amongst it. I know they all have games in hand over us, and we are rank outsiders, but over the season we are proving to be closer than many of us thought we'd be in pre season. Totally different picture to December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 With every win now it makes that barren run of 9 games hurt more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 With every win now it makes that barren run of 9 games hurt more. I keep thinking of what could be if we'd just managed another win and draw in that period. We'd be in such a good position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly right mate. To be in this position after such a terrible period is quite outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted March 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 looking like United will beat Boro here. So we just need the RS to lose today. Arse still the team to catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbanyNYToffee Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 April PL Fixtures Chelsea - 10 pts clear, trophy in sight Spurs - 59 pts - A Burnley, A Swans, H Watford, H Bournemouth, A Palace, H Arsenal City - 57 pts - A Arsenal, A Chelsea, H Hull, A Southampton, H Utd, A Boro Liverpool - 56 pts - H EFC, H Bournemouth, A Stoke, A WBA, H Palace Utd - 52 pts - H WBA, H EFC, A Sunderland, H Chelsea, A Burnley, A City, H Swans Arsenal - 50 pts - H City, H West Ham, A Palace, A Boro, H Leicester, A Spurs Everton - 50 pts - A Shite, A Utd, H Leicester, H Burnley, A West Ham, H Chelsea This entire exercise is pointless if we don't take points from the Shite and Utd but looking ahead we get Leicester right before their Champs League game and Chelsea for their 3rd game in 8 days.

markjazzbassist Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 massive next 2 matches. the injuries are a big blow but i think we can do it. 4 points minimum in these 2 matches if we want CL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elston Gunnn Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I must be in a small minority here, but for me, our "battle for Europe" is with WBA for 7th, not with Man City, Man U, and Arsenal for 4th, 5th, 6th. Of course I'd much prefer to nick ahead of all 3 and take 4th for CL. But passing all 3 clubs -- 2 of which play Everton at home and have 2 games in hand compared to us, and the 3rd of which has a game in hand -- is highly unlikely. Virtually impossible absent taking 3 points @ both Man U and Arsenal. Even then, still unlikely. If we take -- I don't know, 18-20 points from the 24 remaining -- well, then maybe we will finish 5th, even 4th, but the 3 above us would all have to be mediocre in the run up. But we have a solid chance to win our real "battle for Europe," 7th in the table. Solid, and way, way more likely than moving up. But, even 7th, though solid and likely, is not guaranteed. Interesting that Everton and WBA play many of same clubs going forward. Here's a comparison. Exactly the same: both Everton and WBA are home to Leicester and Chelsea, and @Swansea. Similar: Everton get Watford and Burnley at Goodison, while WBA are @ both Watford and Burnley. Different: Everton have @Man U, @W Ham, @Arsenal, while WBA have Southampton, Liverpool, and @Man City. WBA are somewhat more a threat to take 7th than are Everton to move up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I know what you mean, Elston. But the optimist in me blinds me a little and, looking at the points, it is possible provided we turn up ala City and Arsenal at home, and not collapse like the weekend markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the optimist in me blinds me a little and, looking at the points, it is possible provided we turn up ala City and Arsenal at home, and not collapse like the weekend i'm with matt, arsenal are in free fall and arsene might have lost the dressing room and people like ozil and sanchez. we play them last match of the season. we could still get 6th.

Elston Gunnn Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'll claim to be a realist rather than a pessimist in this mini-conversation. And I'll be thrilled to move up, even to 6th. Excited at the thought we might play for 6th @Arsenal the last day of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excited at the thought we might play for 6th @Arsenal the last day of the season. there are some reports now saying with the difficult schedule united has (and one trophy under their belt) they might put all their efforts to winning Europa to get CL instead of worrying about the league. So United and Arsenal are both within reach. Liverpool sadly are not i don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think we can get 4th is just ridiculous and people thinking like that is what makes expectations spiral out of hand and become unrealistic.

I don't think that anyone really does think we can get 4th. But, again, as a fan, there is no harm in looking at it to keep that exciting edge to the season. So long as you don't cry when we don't get it...no harm done. I've not heard (or read!!!) anyone say we should be be getting 4th. So realistic expectations seem to be well grounded. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 4th was never on the cards after our poor October, November and December. Best we can do is take as many points as we can and see where that takes us. As long as we qualify for Europe that's the most important thing it shows progress, makes it easier to recruit the players we need to advance. markjazzbassist and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
