You'd have looked at 6 maybe 7 points from the last three games, we got 3.

By winning the Europa League, yes.
We simply must not bottle that.

Can’t see us finishing top 5 now. Liverpool/Chelsea/United all look stronger and will have VAR protection. It’ll all come down to the Europa league.

I don’t think it’s about “bottling”. But we’ll need to play much better than today to win it.

We’ve become v inconsistent all of a sudden. How do you beat Newcastle and lose the 2 home games🙈

We are in the top four so we can't do what spurs did, ditch the league and just go all out to win the europa. We have to take both seriously.

Jesus it is uplifting being on here tonight. We lost to everton and Brentford. Beat Newcastle. Are in FA cup and Europa league. Injured players will come back. We were never in the title race but we can still get the Champions League. Keep the faith.

Would be happy winning the Europa league and ending 30 years without a trophy, I just want something tangible with Emery. Personally qualifying for the champs league which were very unlikely to win and being charged 90 odd quid a game doesn’t excite me that much

Agree with the first bit.

We're hanging on by a very fine thread though in the title race. We cna still do it, but if the gap increases any more then I'll say its over.

We could win the next game and Arsenal lose and then it's back to four points and we're all waving our willies round like windmills.

You've stopped? So it's just me, windmilling and crying and I can't even justify it to my wife or neighbours by saying you're doing it too? Oh mate.

Well if we win that we qualify for the Champions League. We have a better chance in it if players see us as being regular contenders for qualification through the league.

We were never favourites in 1982.
