Having a good chance of winning the Europa would, indeed, be fun but winning the league would be even more fun and I honestly believe this squad with a couple of additions is capable. Being in the Champions League is the only way that can happen.

This is what I think too.  We’re so close with this manager.

The other reason I want Manc cheats to win the FA Cup is that it would stop Kryptonite Palace playing us in the Europa League. We all know how that would end up.

I just scooted back to look at the Liverpool match in Feb and Transfermkt stats shows the table at the time.(Well gameweek 29 after everyone completed those matches.)

 #   Club                              Pts
1    Liverpool FC              70
2    Arsenal FC                           58
3    Nottingham Forest      54
4    Newcastle United      50
5    Chelsea FC                   49
6    Manchester City              48
7    Brighton & Hove Albion   47
8    Fulham FC                           45
9    Aston Villa                         45
10    AFC Bournemouth           44
11    Brentford FC                   41
12    Crystal Palace                    39
13    Manchester United           37
14    Tottenham Hotspur           34
15    Everton FC                        34
16    West Ham United               34
17    Wolverhampton Wanderers   26
18    Ipswich Town                   17
19    Leicester City                   17
20    Southampton FC                  9

It shows us how far we have come with the most points gained 18 points in those 7 matches. Citeh are second with 17. Bottom is Manure on 2 and then Southampton, followed by Spurs.

Beat Tottenham 7-0, lose to Man U 1-0.

Forest draw 3-3 with West Ham, beat Chelsea 4-3.

Chelsea fail to beat Man U.

Result: Villa and Forest have to playoff for final Champions League spot. That would be exciting.

Hopefully Forest would play 5 at the back again.

If we were to qualify in 5th position, do we, or any other team finishing there, go straight into that league thingy or is there a qualifying round before that?

12 months ago today we clinched CL football thanks to ManC beating Spurs 2-0.

I’ve only just noticed , but if we win our last two games we actually get more points than last year.

Has been mentioned on here along with we could be 1-2 places lower even with the higher points. I did have a look and 69 points for 5th (or better) is about 50/50 usually anyway, at least for the last 10 years. One season we would have been 7th. Another 3rd.
