Champions League Contention

[rob_bridge]

 We need to  beat Spuds first and foremost.

I honestly think if we win 5 of the remaining 10 we qualify in 4th. 73-75pts

[Percy McCarthy]

Not a good night for that fifth CL place.

[tomd2103]

Think it was pretty clear from the team selection and general approach last night that the league is the real priority.  I think the Conference League is viewed as something that woukd be nice to win, but we're not going to be over-exerting ourselves in it.

If we beat them and win 4 more, -70points, Spurs will have to win 7 from 11
Chelsea A TBC
Fulham A
Luton H
W Ham A
Forest H
Newc A
Citeh H
Arse H
Lpool A
Burnley H
Shett Utd A

[Sexual Ealing]

Well there are six games there where they'll be heavy favourites. We need to keep winning.

If we applied the same pessimistic logic to Spurs that we always apply to ourselves I would be looking at that fixture list and saying there are only 2 or 3 of those they would expect to win comfortably - all of the others are tough games for them.  Lots of away games against local rivals, and an absolute bastard of a run between their home games against Forest and Burnley.

[Dave]

We could definitely use a competitive title race so that run of three match run of Man City / Arsenal / Liverpool takes it out of them.

[OCD]

Man Utd fans must be wanting us to win Sunday. If we win, it goes a long way toward sealing 4th spot but if they beat Everton, they're only 3 points behind Tottenham. Then it becomes a fight between them both for 5th spot.

[Bad English]

To be honest, I don't think there was a group of people further from mind than { Manchester United fans } and their desiderata.

[Drummond]

We could definitely use a competitive title race so that run of three match run of Man City / Arsenal / Liverpool takes it out of them.

I hope they win all three, as it helps us win the league.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I also think if we win on Sunday, another 4 wins after that will be enough to finish 4th.

I like the sound of that, Dave P.

Five at best. Wham! away will be tough for them and the top three, Newcastle and Chelsea away, they'll do well to pick-up points.

By the time they get the two byes with their last two games, we'll already be 15 points ahead. So they can frankly get fucked. A bit of eye-contact from their manager in interviews isn't too much to ask, is it?

[Dave P]

Spurs' game in hand is Chelsea away.  Chelsea have sort of improved a bit, plus they hate Spurs and always seem to get the better of them.

Yeah, Spurs going to Chelsea is like us going to Yanited, they've won two league games there in the last 33 years.

We’ve played 3 (4 if you include the cup) top half sides at home this year and lost to them all - and in 3 put in entirely flat, awful displays. That’s been really poor.
