Champions League Contention

[Somniloquism]

I think United are nearly gone, City will annihilate them and send them into another crisis. 6 more wins should do it. Beat Luton and we will go into that Spurs game full of confidence. Need Konsa and Torres back fit asap though.

City annihilated them in the other match (apart from actually putting the ball in the net). The only other time a club was so outplayed but the score didn't represent it was when played the Bluemanc ourselves. I'm pretty sure the media stated it showed Manure was back being as they were drawing with the big guys.

Are you thinking of the Liverpool 0 Man U 0 as Citeh hammered them 3 0 earlier in the season and will do again next Sunday.

Ahh yes I am, but still relevant that they seem to fluke results their on-field display definitely doesn't deserve them to have.

Right, the next person to say the industrial revolution didn't begin in Coalbrookdale is getting levelled. And a stamp on the head for anyone mentioning French weavers.

Shocked and appalled that SE is the only person to mention Coalbrookdale as the birthplace of the industrial revolution, when it so clearly is.

I appreciate the support, Algy. Coalbrookdale is also good because of the utilitarian nature of its name. There is coal there, there is a brook there, it is in a dale. Done.

Shropshire, the home of hard work, innovation and industry. As personified perfectly by SE and me...

6 more wins puts on 70 points. That statistically gives us a very high probability of Champions League qualification, especially if one of those wins is Spurs at home.

I could probably make a case for innovation, if you squint, but hard work and industry? You've come to the wrong member of the Ealing family! My cousin, South Ealing has held down a part-time job at Wickes for the last eight days. He's your man.

[Risso]

That was the joke!

[Sexual Ealing]

Ah, sorry!

Well there's the incentive to take the the Conference League seriously to bump the coefficient up!

[Dogtanian]

On average over the last five seasons, 68 points has been enough for top 4. The most it has taken was 71 points in 2018/19.

5th place has needed 63 points on average, with a maximum of 67 in 2018/19.

1.6 points per game for the last 12 games should see us through to the Champions League.

I just hope the 6 points we've gifted man u don't come back to haunt us.

A win for us against Luton while Man U lose to Manchester City would leave them with too steep a hill, I think.

[London Villan]

I think our run is pretty tough too. We'll do well to get anywhere near 20 more points.

[Dogtanian]

Well, lower-table form of 1 point per game would see us add another 12, so not too far off, surely!

[Drummond]

We've only breached 70 points once since the Premier League was started, and that was the first season, when we got 74 points.

We've got 60 or more on 6 other occasions, last season obviously (61), but before that, under MON in 07/08 (60), 08/09 (62) and 09/10 (64), before that in 95/96 (63) and 96/97 (61).

Incredibly, we have amassed more points already this season, after 26 games, than we have in 14 other complete seasons. With 12 games to go, even a point a game would have us with our (equal) second best season in Premier League history.

Luton a 3
Spurs h 1
West Ham a 1
Wolves h 3
Man City a 0
Brentford h 3
Arsenal a 0
Bournemouth h 3
Chelsea h 3
Brighton a 1
Liverpool h 1
Palace a 3

I'd say that's a fairly reasonable guess at results, and that gives 22.

Luton a 3

West Ham a 1
Wolves h 1
Man City a 0

Arsenal a 0
Bournemouth h 3
Chelsea h 1

Palace a 1

A pessimistic 15...
