Race For Europe

[bomber]

I reckon the CL will be out of reach for Chelsea come the end of the season. They look really poor at the moment.

Yeah,I think so after this weekend.Theyve thrown the towel in,but the scenario of the them being secure in a CL place with a possible upcoming cup final wad of appealed though.Oh and let's not forget the WC on the horizon and the bottling challenges.They have back to back home games v spurs and forest before LFC then us.

Good. It's an utter disgrace, how they came through that murderous Russian twat's ownership with barely a scratch on them.

Eight max now I think.

1-5 champions league and then 6-8 Europa?

 

[Dogbark]

8 Would be conference.

 

[safclav]

1-5 champions league and then 6-8 Europa?

1-6 champions league if villa win Europa and finish 5th

I still think we have a great chance but as @cluffy said, top half would be an incredible season. More quality in the summer and i think we will have an even better season next year.

I'm expecting next season to be much tougher. We were expected to be everyone's easy points this season. No one will be thinking that again.

We might not get so close to having another shot at a European spot for a while, so it's important that we treat it that way and do our very best to get it over the line.

 

[DrewC]

So the way I see it ..it’s a race 6/7/8th spots. Thou 8th needs Man City to win FA Cup or we finish 8th and Chelsea is above us having won the FA Cup

 

[RedandWhiteRebel]

We still have a reasonable chance of 8th.

I assume 8th will be the Conference League and that will do me.

This ,it's now or never/yonks.Its 25 years since we were this close.

 

[FatDrummer]

We aren’t out of it.
We might get in….we might not.
Let’s just go into each game trying to win and see what happens.

After this fantastic season, I will be happy whatever happens.

 

[safc3nufc0]

If results go our way this week and we can beat forest I think we will go upto 7th. Not bad at all

 

[paws]

Top half finish would do me.

And should earn us £150 million
Can you imagine the furore up the road if we get a European spot and they don't

 

[Drexl]

A win on Friday and anything’s possible.

Teams have a habit of getting good once relegation is confirmed and they play with freedom.

We do this every year

And teams bad once they have qualified for the champions league etc.

A real shame theyve rearranged the FA Cup semi games to this midweek or we could have gone 6th with a win

 

[bomber]

Top and bottom of it all is 12-13 points needed to get 6th,10-11 for 7th or 8th.7-8 to pretty much guarantee finish above mags.

 

[Whey]

Or we could enjoy the rest of the season without finding something to have a wet fanny about. Just a thought mind

More enjoyable this way surely?
