Could we get 2nd place?

[MCFC1993]

They can do us a big favour by either beating or drawing with Newcastle

Penultimate game of the season, I'd like to think we'll be cheering on Newcastle by that point.

Arsenal won’t care whether they’re second or third if they win the CL which unfortunately looks quite likely.

Just a hugely disappointing season all round when that’s a possibility instead of it being us and we’re getting excited about potential second place.

Just have to win the FA Cup so the whole season isn’t a complete shitshow, then spend hundreds of millions in summer.

Could we get second place? Yes.

Will we? No.

They are not winning the CL. They are winning fuck all.

Arsenal are just 6 points above City and yet you regard them as CL favourites?

I am excited about the FA Cup but of course I would have liked to defend our title and do better in Europe. We couldn't go on forever and this season has been a season of transition. We have 4 top quality players due to return this season: Ederson, Stones, Rodri and Haaland so I think we are stronger than you think.

 

[bluestevei]

no chance, can only see them dropping to pool, should win their other games comfortably surely

Really newcastle beat them twice in the carabo cup

 

[youngbob]

Nah, I don't think so. And I think Arsenal might actually be able to do us a favour if they can beat Newcastle.

 

[Marvin.]

Could we get second place? Yes.

Will we? No.

Probably but given the gap is 6 points and they have to go to Anfield and they have the CL semi-finals to navigate it is possible. It will have been in every blue's mind when they heard Arsenal had drawn at home to Palace.

Newcastle are fighting for the CL now especially given our results. Arsenal can lose at Liverpool and fail to beat Newcastle. If we win our games, it is not that difficult to imagine City overtaking Arsenal.

For decades we laboured under the weight of 'typical City', when they inevitably get battered by PSG and finish 3rd in the league, can we start referring to 'typical Arsenal'?

 

[Metal Biker]

imagine coming third in a two horse race....

that would be even more of a bottle job than them losing the title to us when they were ahead!

Haven't stopped chuckling at that!

 

[B\connellblue]

Why don’t we just focus on Top 5 and not get ahead of ourselves?

Some posters just can't help themselves . We still have work to do.

 

[thegoatsthegoat]

We could do, it will be on the basis of Arsenal having CL secured and pretty much throwing their league fixtures. Had there been a title race on the cards we wouldn't be near second. I can't see it though myself. It is a 3 game swing on the basis we win all of our games. It would be funny if it happened and Arsenal ended up potless.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

End of season fixtures are hard to predict when there’s little to play for, so when the dippers win the league at the weekend, Arsenal will mentally drop in the league, it’s inevitable, especially with the CL to play for.

All we can do is win our games and see where we end up. It could be 2nd, or it could be 7th.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

GD ... you just never know, we could find our top level shooting boots and put 6/7 in against Soton.

True, but sadly the Arse also have to play Soton, and we all know how that could go :-(

 

[bluestevei]

In the title i put
Could we get 2nd place didnt say we would but and it is a big but with the other teams playing against each other and arsenal playing at liverpool we could do it

Hopefully the same psg turns up that did against us & the dippers, ‘cos if it does they’ll tear the cockney bottlers a new one here’s hoping :)

Coming from you, this is epically hilarious! :-)

Not happening

So long as we finish in a CL place I dont give a shit if we finish 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th if Im honest.
