The Top Five Race 2024-25 (poll added)

[1964]

Yesterday’s draw was unfortunately a terrible result. It is impossible for anyone to be confident that we will win our final two games, and even the cup final, because we are simply not a very good side. We’ve been getting results recently but we have had so much luck.

You’d have to say Newcastle will qualify so that leaves ourselves, Chelsea, Villa, and Forest. Forest dropping points was huge and they have Chelsea on the final day so one of them is guaranteed to drop points. The threat is Villa, they have to play Spurs and United which is the closest thing to a guaranteed 6 points as you could have.

I don’t see us beating Bournemouth so I think our best will be 4 points or 2 in our last games. It’s gonna be tight!!

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

Not sure what maths says that. We can still qualify with zero points from two games.

Yes but that is hugely unlikely - we need to beat the Chertoes and see where that leaves us

4 points definitely secure the Champions League. 3 unfortunately no, Chelsea and Villa if they win both remaining, goodbye UCL

You weren’t predicting the top five though, were you? You were stridently predicting where we would definitely be after next weekend’s fixtures. That isn’t the same thing. If you want to start a thread predicting where we’ll be after next weekend feel free to do so.

You were also doing what so many miserable cunts do, which is selfishly getting a kick out of trying to disseminate your misery upon others, because misery loves company. That’s why you posted what you did, when you did.

You do realise you are debating misery with a chap called Prophet of Doom?

‘Debating’ suggests equality of arms!

I think 8th can get Europe if Chelsea win their cup so both could still get in

Bournemouth aren’t done yet

You know, you're all flapping and banging on about how bad we are but only us and Brentford haven't lost any of their last 6. Forest have only won 1 of the last six, Arse have only won 2, Chelsea 3, Newcastle and Villa 5.

There's no reason to believe we won't get the win we need, and I believe we'll only need one win, if that, but I think we'll win both. We have the experience in situations like this where it's clear some of the other teams are getting jittery.

AFC Bournemouth are still alive here…

I think Villa will win their last two games as they are playing the rags and Spurs who are resting players for their final. Same as Chelsea, they'll beat the rags and probably Forest will be out of it by then so I expect them to win that if they need the points. So we need 69 points minimum, it's going to be tough.

I was in a black mood after yesterdays shit show but that forest result has cheered me up no end

They'll be giving European football to the 12th place finish of the Championship at this rate.

'Pettifogging' serves better, then.

Me too until I realised who Villa and Chelsea have to play.

Villa play the scum AFTER the Dog and Duck final so maybe they might show some professionalism but don't hold yer breath.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Why does everybody keep saying "we need this, we need that". We could yet lose both matches and still qualify. Villa and Chelsea would need to win one match and Forest would need to win both, bearing in mind Chelsea and Forest have to play each other.

The same reason you're doing it right now.

 

[the blue panther]

Yeah, but, we had to play Southampton and Forest had to play Leicester......!

We blew it yesterday, typical City! It will be humiliating if United get into the Champions League and we don’t. They have 39 points, we have 65. Insanity prevails.

Winning the Europa League is higher in the CL qualifying criteria than finishing 2nd-5th in the PL.
