Will we qualify for the CL?

God I hate the phrase, “man up”. It’s quite possible to be supportive of the club and also acknowledge we’ve made it difficult for ourselves.

Which is exactly what we did in 1981

[PeterWithesShin]

The amount of times since '81 that we've succeeded in a "do you want to bet against us" scenario are far outweighed by the times we did indeed 'fail'. Otherwise we'd have been a shitload more successful.

In 3 of the last 5 seasons (19/20, 22/23, 23/24), we've needed results to go our way, as well as doing our bit. We've had the rub of the green - I just wonder if our luck will hold up this season.

There’s no reason it shouldn’t. Lots of football to be played yet.

I think Man City, Forest and Newcastle will be out of reach now going into the final game even if we've won our three before then. Maybe we will get incredibly lucky and there will be a points deduction for C115y.

Chelsea v Liverpool makes me nervous as the title will be done by then. We will be at a disadvantage in the last game compared to Chelsea as Forest will have secured top 5 by that stage and we face our bogey team.

Newcastle v Chelsea will be a strange one as we might need Chelsea to win to keep faint top 5 hopes alive, but a Newcastle win could put 6th place in our own hands.

You always finish where you deserve, luck has nothing to do with it

Indeed 38 games v all other teams home and away has always been the best indicator of how good a team is relative to its peers.

Always irked me that Ipswich seen as best team in 1980/81. Well they may well have been for 36 games but that wasn't the case when it was 42.

[Rudy65]

It’s correct to point to the late goals we’ve conceded over the season which may contribute to us not qualifying for the CL but I think they’re another fundamental reason. Bar Arsenal, where we drew, we’ve lost away to all our CL rivals. Often with miserable performances. Failure to take more points in these games is a big factor imo. Conversely our home form against these rivals has been good with only Arsenal beating us

Indeed - although as it happens I have more confidence now. That said, if we do win our final 4 games and don’t make it then the other teams deserve it, because they’ve done exceptionally well.

I suspect that if we do miss out, it will be the two late goals at Forest that does for us rather than the one last night.

And 2 points from 6 against Ipswich.

[Drummond]

Every team can look at every game they played and question whether or not it cost them. The truth is that for every point dropped it's cost us. There are numerous reasons for dropping points, poor decisions by referees, by Emery, by players on the pitch, poor execution of the plan, or the skill required, tiredness, injuries.

We've not been good enough to win anything yet, but that goes for most teams doesn't it?

It’s the Ipswich games that I keep looking back to. You knew before a ball was kicked that they’d be struggling all season so to not beat them in either game is poor.

That and the Bournemouth game.
