The battle for 3rd place

[meeesh]

That's the reason although Arsenal are playing this week they have two games to squeeze in.

We have to squeeze the West Brom game in though ? Could have been this week

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Beating Leicester is the key, their style of play has caused us issues each time we play and they are in good form, despite an inevitable mid table finish.

Watford and West Brom we can do,I am confident, but Leicester is the one that can be our catalyst and is arguably the more difficult for us to get 3 points from. Psychologically it will also be a benefit, and a huge blow for Liverpool, United and Arsenal. Can see us slipping up once, would 7 points be enough I wonder... Hopefully though won't even come in to it, onward to third and avoiding a qualifying CL round.

And in the summer, it is ourselves and United who have the most ability to leap forwards in terms of improvement imo. Chelsea will consolidate but have European footy to consider, Arsenal could and should be kicking on but never seem to do and to be honest a season out of Europe may be good for them short term, Spurs it is make or break time for and hopefully we'll weaken them by nabbing a player or two, and the scum will be looking for that game changing player to turn Mourinho's bore draw tactics in to 1-0 wins. For us, Pep gets the chance to bring in the players he should now know we need to be number one, and we start taking more chances - I'm positive that is the key to us kicking on, get ahead early then keep on scoring, opposition heads will soon go down and that last minute equalizer soon becomes wishful thinking on their part, the last game being a prime example.

Seven points would be enough
Liverpool's max points is 76
United's is 74
Arsenal is 75
We sit on 69 with 3 games remaining

Frustrating isn't it. West Brom are the worst form team in the league right now and I'm fairly certain we'd have got three points from it and kept our momentum going.
Leicester are a tougher game at the moment though

Have to get permission from UEFA on c/l night Arsenal need to play next midweek to would have got approved we don't so wouldn't.

It's a killer,I'm only pissed off as I'll be in Spain that week,that is why I'm moaning like a smacked arse woman

 

[cleavers]

I just don't understand why the West Brom game couldn't have been played this week

Champions league. Sure I've heard before that it's not allowed to have PL games at the same time

That's the reason although Arsenal are playing this week they have two games to squeeze in.

I think the FA have to get a special dispensation from UEFA to play on the same night as CL.

That rule expired on March 15th.

WBA and Leicester competing to get 8th and a Europa League place? Thought this was on if united win Europa as Arse/Chelski Cup Final place will also move spots down?

 

[Proy]

If we are talking about 4th I think 4 points will do it.

For 3rd, 2 wins.

I want 3rd and 3 wins. Finish strongly and make a statement.

Finishing 3rd also allows us to start our business early which is going to be more critical than ever this summer.
