Will we qualify for the CL?

[DB]

Yeah, ManUre lose after extra time with the Portuguese diver coming off with a hammy.

Unai means cowherd, I just discovered.

The cowbells are ringing for the claret & blue....

Unai can also mean shepherd but let's not use that for any songs.

[Grande Pablo]

All that effort by Palace might end up in embarassement...

If we can’t beat this United rabble on Sunday we don’t deserve ECL. They’re utter shite.

If we can’t beat this United rabble on Sunday we don’t deserve ECL. They’re utter shite.

Indeed.

Any team that loses 4 times in a season to this Spuds team has serious issues

[tomd2103]

If we win our game, then there are only 27 possible permutations for the other three.

Only 2 of those 27 see us finishing outside the top 5. So over 92% of all possible outcomes result in us painting the Champions League claret and blue once again.

So yep, get the win and we'd have to be unlucky not to get in.

Pretty simple equation if we win really.  A win for us means Manchester City would just have to avoid defeat and both Newcastle and Chelsea would have to win to finish above us. 

Us drawing would mean Newcastle would need to lose for us to finish in the top 5.

I had a dream last night that someone scored a goal somewhere 8 seconds from time which resulted in us finishing 7th. There was a thread on here afterwards titled ‘Are you angry or upset?’

[PaulWinch again]

I’ll say one thing, knowing realistically a win is needed I’d rather have our game than Chelsea’s.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Still possible for us to finish 3rd. Think we've only done that twice in our history.

[PaulWinch again]

Still possible for us to finish 3rd. Think we've only done that twice in our history.

Don’t see that’s really realistic. If we get 5th I’ll be delighted.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Oh obviously not likely, but we can dream.

[montague]

Still possible for us to finish 3rd. Think we've only done that twice in our history.

When did our history start?

[cdbearsfan]

Yeah we've only finished third in the top flight twice, 1894/95 and 1928/29. Once in the second tier (1972/73) the year before they extended promotion from the top two to the top three. 🥺

[Brazilian Villain]

Yeah we've only finished third in the top flight twice, 1894/95 and 1928/29.

I've mentioned that on here before. It's a bit of a quirky stat, given how often we've been runners-up.
