The Run-In


Recommended Posts

Spurs for me. Man U are fucked financially and in need of another massive overhaul of playing staff which they can't afford. No Europe next season definitely fucks them more than it would Spurs.

Four days after Manu play the Europa League Final in Spain. Will they even be back in time? Physically quite possibly but mentally fuck all chance.

I think if they do win the final, it'll be a bit of an occasion and the crowd will be up for it - might make a difference. 

 

If they lose the final this will be a write-off imo.

If Man U were to lose it, (unlikely because they can have poor sides and still win stuff), I think there's half a chance they'll beat villa for some bounce back/get some pride back final game in front of their fans. If Man U win and get the CL spot expect half a team of youngsters plus casemiro and Erikson building sand castles on the pitch as villa win 3-0. I'd definitely prefer a Spurs win because of the above.

Yeah I want Spurs to win it. They're financially secure enough to not need CL next season whereas Man Utd are on a cliff edge. They fail to qualify for Europe and I reckon they might spiral.

As for next weekend (assuming Liverpool win tonight & Man City win tomorrow night) I have a feeling the following might happen:

Bournemouth v Leicester - HOME WIN

Fulham v Man City - AWAY WIN

Ipswich v West Ham - DRAW

Liverpool v Palace - HOME WIN

Man Utd v Aston Villa - DRAW
Newcastle v Everton - HOME WIN

Forest v Chelsea - HOME WIN

Southampton v Arsenal - AWAY WIN

Spurs v Brighton - AWAY WIN

Wolves v Brentford - DRAW

Final Table

1. Liverpool 89 (CL)

2. Arsenal 74 (CL)

3. Man City 71 (CL)

4. Newcastle 69 (CL)

5. Forest 68 (CL)

6. Villa 67 (EL)

7. Chelsea 66 (EL - for winning the Conf)

8. Brighton 58 (Conf)

9. Bouremouth 56

10. Brentford 56

11. Fulham 54

12. Palace 49 (EL)

13. Everton 45

14. Wolves 42

15. West Ham 41

16. Man Utd 40

17. Spurs 38 (CL)

18. Leicester 25

19. Ipswich 23

20. Southampton 12

Yeah that would be my preferred outcome. Be careful though, I've learned that some people on here are incapable of holding multiple possible outcomes in their head at the same time. We need to be mindful of that and make sure those posters are wearing their crash helmets before we discuss them.

As long as you don't confirm the probable outcome we'll be fine thanks.

If it was at Villa Park, I'd agree with you. But they'll be desperate to avoid finishing the season with a defeat. Forest have their key players back and I reckon Chelsea will choke like they did against us.

It's in our hands. We win our game, we're in the Champions League. As much as we're all ruminating on what might happen, the reality is we have to zone out on all the permutation bullshit and just concentrate of what we need to do. 

Right now, I'd much rather be in our position than any of the other 5 vying for one of the places.

This is absolutely true. If we win, nothing else matters in this, it's not like we can fall lower than 5th unless Villa get a completely impossible scoreline.

 

We win 1-0 and it's over, irrespective of what anyone else is doing.

The reality is each of the 5 teams HAVE to win on Sunday. 

 

Man City - have 2 games Bournemouth (H) & Fulham (A). Neither is straight forward. I'd much rather having points on the board than games in hand

Chelsea - have to go to Forest and win. Not straight forward.

Villa - have to go to Man Utd and win. Not straight forward.

Forest - have to beat Chelsea and hope Villa don't win. Not straight forward.

Newcastle - have to beat Everton at home. Surely the easier ask of any of the 5 teams.
