markjazzbassist Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Barring an epic arsenal collapse it looks like our battle is 7th with west brom. Arsenal have 3 games in hand and are level with us now. We'd need some serious losing streak on their part to battle for 6th. Still I'd love to finish above them.

Paddock Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 It was always going to be 7th. It's a massive improvement on the last 2 season in all departments already. Can't believe anyone would be disappointed with that after the last two shambolic seasons. Matt, MikeO and Romey 1878 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 fuck realism, the worlds in the shitter enough as it is! yeah don't worry i still think it's do-able, but 1 point from the 2 matches we need at least 3, gonna be tough from here on. Arsenal has a lot easier run in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rusty747 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 arsenal won 3-0. we're now 3 points behind 5/6th and both teams have 2 games in hand Ageed, it won't be easy but we need to stop looking at other teams now and just win our games. That is what will put pressure on the teams around us and that, if anything, is what will cause them to slip up. Matt and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 arsenal won 3-0. we're now 3 points behind 5/6th and both teams have 2 games in hand Still plenty of games left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Still plenty of games left This and plenty of winnable games if we pull our fingers out... 12/15 points is my guesstimate by the end of the season In a decent position considering the shite from last season and with 7th getting a Europa spot it's likely we'll have Europa to (look forward to) depending on how you feel about it ?

MikeO Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Ten points clear of West Brom with six games left, fourteen ahead of Saints though they have two games more, seventh in the bag surely; top four out of sight but if we can pick up 15/16 points sixth is still not impossible. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted April 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 let's also hope atletico thrash leicester now that we've burst their bubble. we need them out of CL to confirm 7th get's Europa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the odds are massively against them (but so we're the odds for the EPL title!) yeah the thing going for atletico is that they play the same style as leicester. so it's not like they don't know how to attack and defend it. plus i just think they have better quality all over the park.

AlbanyNYToffee Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 What's left: Chelsea - 31 pld - 75 pts - 21 pts clear Spurs - 31 pld - 68 pts - 14 pts clear Liverpool - 32 pld - 63 pts - A WBA, H Palace, A Watford, H Southampton, A West Ham, H Boro City - 31 pld - 61 pts - A Southampton, H Utd, A Boro, H Palace, H Leicester, A Watford (H WBA TBD) Utd - 30 pld - 57 pts - H Chelsea, A Burnley, A City, H Swans, A Arsenal, A Spurs, H Palace (A Southampton TBD) Arsenal - 29 pld - 54 pts - A Palace, A Boro, H Leicester, A Spurs, H Utd, A Stoke, H EFC (H Sunderland TBD, A Southampton TBD) Everton - 32 pld - 54 pts - H Burnley, A West Ham, H Chelsea, A Swans, H Watford, A Arsenal For the dreamers seems to me possibility of moving up table goes Arsenal, Utd, Liverpool, City. Still remains incredibly unlikely but it's so refreshing to be in April and have something to play for after the past two seasons... markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 With the way our 2017 is going I feel 6th would be a deserved spot for us. It's hard not to think back on the end of 2016 and think about how that poor run really cost us. Just two or three wins extra in that period, and we'd be challenging for third/fourth! I'm getting excited thinking about starting with a fresh slate and fresh/new players in 2017/2018 season. I'm hoping Arsenal suffer a major defeat at the hands of Palace somehow.

Romey 1878 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Palace are up 1-0. Dare we believe They'll still have two games on us. I'd love it if it could come down to a straight shoot-out in the last game of the season when we play them. Be a good opportunity to find out if we're made of stronger stuff now or still bottlers when the pressure is on. markjazzbassist and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
