UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

With a cost of living crisis, I’m glad I haven’t got to find £50 to watch us at home to Real Paella and Dynamo Concrete

😂

Dynamo Concrete sound great!

I hear their manager is really building something there. (Sorry.)

They start their matches with real fluidity but quickly become static. Tough to break down though.

Quite brutal, too.

A group game maybe, but over a two-legged tie I couldn't see us beating them on aggregate.

It'll come down to who has more grit.

Hopefully we will have a pre season game in Europe- they just cannot handle expectation- Emery hopefully will get 4 players who are better in the summer

Centerback, attacking / creative midfielder, centre forward and a wide attacking forward

[PaulWinch again]

It’s a shame that this is very unlikely now. That said, to be disappointed that we’re likely to miss out is testament to the job Unai has done given where we were. Really need to strengthen in the summer.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Still think we will get 7th, think we will beat Spurs.

[olaftab]

It's the hope that kills you. When UE took over I would have been happy with 8th, now it will be a disappointment.

Don’t do it to yourself. Accept it, it’s fine.

[Villan82]

Other results stopped going our way a couple of weeks ago at just the precise moment that we started to lose some of that forward momentum. Just bloody typical

[Drummond]

It's still in our hands. Bizarrely.

However, just when some depth is needed... Who knows, we've a week to recover and plan, and get the 4 back up to speed.

Yep, that's the foundation of success.

I joked a few weeks ago that Liverpool would probably shake out of their coma and win six straight, they're 45 minutes away from doing so.

Annoying they've hit their best winning run of the season by a mile but that's what the better squads in the league are capable of after months of mediocre football.

The key word that leaps out there is 'squad'. They have one worth the name, we don't. We have a 1st X, a choice of ineffective right winger and a draw full of odds and sods.

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck it. Might be nuts but I say we still make it. We do Spurs next weekend, we will get a point at Anfield and beat Brighton. Spurs to draw vs Brentford and then lose last day at relegation threatened Leeds. We take that last spot.

Man, I love your optimism!

The atmosphere next Saturday should be something else. Shit or bust!

[Toronto Villa]

If we are going to go down in this fight for that last spot then let’s go down swinging. I don’t believe we will just throw in the towel. Everyone at the club wants to be in with a chance going into the last two games. Spurs on paper have easier games than us after next week but it won’t matter if we don’t put ourselves in position to put pressure on them. A big performance next week and we are right back in it.

Yeah, that's about right I reckon

Still, sort that this summer, and we're looking up, big time.
