The battle for 3rd place

Oh you card
It's money and establishing ourselves. Chelsea have won it before, we've done nothing in the Champions League; we can't afford a season out of it for what we wish to be.It's attracting the desired players.
To get them in you have to pay them a fortune in wages.
I also don't think we have that glamour yet like United and to a certain extent Chelsea do.
Players will want to play for Pep regardless but he and his allure won't be here forever.
Chelsea and Spurs are going to finish 1st and 2nd. That's pretty clear after tonight. City will be 3rd. The shock result was Liverpool slipping up at home to Bournemouth. City losing to Chelsea was likely. We don't have the all round strength yet to win these games as has been proven for a while. But we aren't far off. Full strength we'd do them.
I think City will finish comfortably 3rd and Liverpool 4th.

What's the obsession with top 4 a season out of champs league might give us a chance of winning the prem did no harm to chelsea
Chelsea haven't had European football full stop. We would end up playing Thursday nights, probably more of a disadvantage than being in the CL is.

Not really, Liverpool have a habit of fucking up in those games, otherwise they'd be right up there with Chelsea if not top.The shock result was Liverpool slipping up at home to Bournemouth.

Exactly! Fucking up a top 4 spot would also go some way to fucking up next seasons league campaign.
OK so you'd have predicted a draw in that game would you? Come on that was obviously the surprise result of the evening.Not really, Liverpool have a habit of fucking up in those games, otherwise they'd be right up there with Chelsea if not top.

I had money on the draw, do you want me to post a picture of the docket?OK so you'd have predicted a draw in that game would you? Come on that was obviously the surprise result of the evening.
It is now going to be a real dogfight between four teams for two places. People going on about our so called easier games should know better. We face a ressurgant Hull and Leicester and a derby against the rags which with the two big noses and Bob brush head will cause us no end of problems at the back. Palace and WBA will shut up shop and Watford and Southampton away are tricky. It is going to be a real battle.
What were the odds? You telling me that if City had drawn at home to Bournemouth you wouldn't have been absolutely gutted? Bournemouth got one of the worst away records in the Premier league whilst Liverpool have one of the best.I had money on the draw, do you want me to post a picture of the docket?

7/2 and of course I'd be gutted, but if we had their record against the bottom sides this season I wouldn't be surprised.What were the odds?

I buy into it every time must get top 4 etc. Can't let United get it but your probably right.
Still don't want Europa myself, although somehow it has been upgraded to a super glamorous trophy this year!!
Their record at home was won 11, drawn 3, lost 1. Or are you going to argue about that as well ;7/2 and of course I'd be gutted, but if we had their record against the bottom sides this season I wouldn't be surprised.

They've dropped points against bottom half teams all season, or are you going to argue about that?Their record at home was won 11, drawn 3, lost 1. Or are you going to argue about that as well ;
Congratulations. You managed to argue against the facts: won 11, drawn 3, lost 1. And two of those draw were against Chelsea and Utd. OK, or do you want to argue some more? Of course you doThey've dropped points against bottom half teams all season, or are you going to argue about that?

I want champions league. I don't think not being in Europe will stop Pep fucking around with team selections every week so we wouldn't benefit the way Chelsea have.
Thank fuck top 5 are done now. I expect we should win the majority of our remaining games and get top 4.

I agree, I'm only worried about 4 or so games, Southampton away, crystal palace, the rags, and lc at home, could be a few tricky ones in thereI want champions league.

Of course it was, and a pleasant surprise too. 93:20 being contrary mary doesn't change that fact Marvin.
