The battle for 4th place

[Dax777]

We have the worst schedule :(

I really think 4th place is in doubt.

Because of the Chumps League Semi-Final games we could drop points against Stoke and Southampton, because of squad rotation, possible injuries and our inept manager.

I believe we need to win 3 of our 4 league games, anything less will put 4th spot into serious jeopardy, imo.

If someone had told me last August that we could be going into the last game of the season needing a result to get 4th in the league I'd have laughed in their face.

What a fucking waste of a season. A complete & utter fuck up with most (not all) of the blame being on our manager.

horrible feeling he will rotate on saturday vs stoke and we will drop more points.......
The fact that we are in this position fighting for forth is a huge blight on MP - the guy is a bang average manager

Liverpool will start to rest players. The fact is they have to hope three teams have disasters. There best hope of Champions League is the Europa League

LFC has already made it known they plan to focus 100% on Europa. So until they are knocked out, their 1st team will play those games (everton was an exception because it was kicking their rivals behinds)

For all our sakes- hope they run the table and win the Europa.
-i kinda think they get into the europa anyway, if we make champions due to being runners up in Cap 1 Cup

Fuck Liverpool and the idea of them gaining entry to the champions league.

We have 3 games against sides on holiday.

United have Leicester and Norwich, never mind a West Ham team palying their last game at Upton Park.

Arsenal have Sunderland and us away.

Based on that we should get enough points. The elephant in the room is obviously the Champions League and how that impacts on Pellegrini's team selections.

Stoke are already on holiday. Look at the way they caved in to the Dark Side.

You'll beat them easy.

I'm going to be 'oop North at the Etihad for our game against you on May 8th.

Should be good. I'll be either at the Britons Protection or the Hare and Hounds in Shudehill beforehand.

Cheers!

Only the runners up in the fa cup get europa not in he league cup.
