Top 4 in our own hands

[Bruce Wayne]

Ridiculous as it sounds it is. Take away the games against the bottom half sides as tough as they will be but we welcome Spurs, Chelsea, Everton and Wolves to BL. If we can get a good points yield in these games we have a brilliant chance. Mixed yield and top 6?

In our own hands this Blades, go grab it.

10 wins from 12 definitely does it I’d say. 8 from 12 and I’m thinking it comes down to an odd point/goal difference.

Very tough ask for top 4.

Possibly 6/7 wins for that 7th spot seems more realistic to me.

So i’ll be a miserable fucker and say that I don’t think we are beating teams comfortably enough to challenge that top 4. For 6th/7th - I’m thinking that is attainable

What do the remaining fixtures look like for those around us?

I would go and look myself but I demand you the OP to provide this information

I saw that Everton will have a big day in things, their next few games are against all the teams above them. They’ve hit a bit of form. I think it will be a bunfight and we need to be as consistent as we can be and see what happens. I think Chelsea can be caught but it’s a question of who can do it.

Where's Arsenal?

We aren’t creating enough chances so I tend to agree we will struggle to win enough, we lack that creativity up top, so it will be more draws I recon which will see us in the top 8, I think we’ll finish either 6th, 7th or 8th which will be tremendous.

4 wins 5 draws 3 defeats = 17pts,
Total = 56pts, 7th.

Talksport were saying yesterday that man city are facing fair play sanctions from UEFA which could include a two year ban from the champions league, so 5th place maybe good enough, game on.

50% of what they say is fucking crap, the other 50% is lucky guesses.

If Chelsea win their game in hand they’re five points above us. It’s in their hands, not ours.

Well it’s true they’re under investigation and a ban is a possibility but it’s by no means definite and I’d be interested to know how the sponsors would feel losing one of the bigger names.

Walk before you can run lads. You know it makes sense.

Would the Man City situation have any bearing on the "extra" slots for Europa via League cup?

 

[Boxer Blade]

Where's Arsenal?

North London grumpy, Tottenham, Wembley area, any time pal any time

Yes the PL has a quota of entering 4 clubs into the PL and 3 clubs into the Europa Cup.

The PL can decide what ever rules it wants and put forward any team for these competitions.
Logic suggests if Man City are kicked out (which the Euro football expert has said is unlikely but definitely possible and realistic) then the next lower team takes their place. So potentially 8th place could qualify for Europe.

They have now.

Fucking Hell
