UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

Good point Ads.

See how the "Greedy6" have brainwashed us into thinking they're permanently entitled to a European spot.

You can orobably add Spuds to that category, given Conte's post match meltdown yesterday.

I agree though I think we'll probably just fall short. But then Liverpool away as the penultimate game, maybe they've got nothing to play for and an unexpected result crops up.

If we get to 50 points from where we were under Gerrard and with the thin squad we’ve got then that would be some achievement by Emery.
Our home form is showing signs of picking up so who knows where we can finish but realistically 9th/10th.

You missed our game against Leicester.

You missed our game against Leicester.

Well, we've won our last two home games now which is what I presume he means.

Just noticed that, thanks for spotting the omission.

Must pay more attention to checking before I hit the "Post" button.

Europe was Further Away before yesterday’s win.

I also think it's still unlikely but it's nice to be thinking about it and I have spent the morning looking at the run ins of our "mini league" rivals. In summary, Brentford and Chelsea have the toughest run ins on paper, Fulham the easiest. We have to play all four so really in our hands to take the chance.

The other team in our "mini league" is Brighton of course.

They have games in hand but still have to play Citeh and Arsenal

I meant the fixture we're playing in 2-3 weeks.

If by some miracle we found ourselves in Europe it would undoubtedly put a strain on our squad even with new additions.  But if we have aspirations of champions league football then it's something we will have to deal with.

Indeed it will, but the first half of the season included 11 games under Gerrard and we’d got 25 points at that stage, so 25 points from the second half should be within our grasp.

[Meanwood Villa]

From here, only getting 50 would be a disappointment. Would be only just above a point a game.

[Toronto Villa]

I like the idea of a healthy Kamara, Coutinho and Carlos for the last 7-9 games of the season. Won’t be many clubs that can hope for players of that calibre to join the ranks for the final push.
