The Top Five Race 2024-25 (poll added)

[pbueno16]

Newcastle very lucky!

Absolutely bailed out.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I hate Villa and Forest.

Fuck 'em.

 

[01cravend]

Take 3rd after that mid season madness. Rebuild and go again. Excited to see what the plans are

 

[117 M34]

So we had nothing to worry about afterall.
What a bunch of bottlers the others are.

Forest at home, win and they qualify. Bottled it.
Villa against a poor united team needing a point to qualify. Bottled it
Newcastle at home to everton who were on the beach. Bottled it and got very lucky.

 

[Cobwebcat]

So 66 points would have done it and we got 5 more.

Can we stop going on about the Southampton game now?!

 

[chris85mcfc]

What % are we now?

 

[coolcity]

Very easy, you just log in and select the games fella. Theres a load of YouTube videos that explain it in more detail.

There's always one smartarse isn't there.

 

[blueparrot]

67 points to do it as I said many weeks ago when we beat Villa, been relaxed since then.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

One of the greatest ever City teams finished second and fourth in consecutive seasons. ‘77 and ‘78. That’s an average of third, obviously.

Anyone saying this has been a shit season has zero sense of perspective.

 

[johnny crossan]

Looks like the odds were fairly accurate and the fanny wobbling rather misplaced.

delighted for my fears to be rendered groundless - shame villa couldn't beat the rags to put Shearer down the pit where he belongs.

Better still, could all the doom merchants just do one once and for all. I said 68 would be enough, we didn't even need that.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

We now have statistically by far the easiest run of fixtures of anybody vying for Champions League places. The modelling of the results says we need 4-5 wins from 9 very winnable games.

I said a few months back I think we'll need about 65 to qualify, and that still feels about right.

I keep saying it every week, opponent’s results won’t change it.

65 points

Opta are saying Forest will finish 6th on c66 pts. With our goal difference that means we’d need 66 pts.

After the absolute pelters I've gotten on here for maintaining since March that 65 points would be enough to get us CL - I have to say I can only apologise for my unacceptably shit prediction.

Turns out it was 66.

 

[Coatigan]

No issues. Crazy results with the other contenders.

Well I got plenty of mileage out of this..

 

[cleavers]

What % are we now?

99.5, we could have points deducted yet ;-)

A point at Southampton has been a good point for as long as I've supported City.

 

[wolviedinho]

Still don’t think anyone will drop points -:)

Glad I was wrong, hopefully the money helps with the rebuild.

To be fair,. looks like Villa were robbed like we were last week. Awfut decision to disallow their "goal" with 15 to go at 0-0, they would have probably got at least a point from there.

 

[Axel Freed]

All the fannys who were doubting us on here, hang your heads in shame.
You’re either gutless, spineless half wits or you’re rags / dippers

Regardless, 3rd place is a very satisfactory outcome to a transitional season, well done City

Mush preferred that optimism than the losers who were saying we wouldn't qualify after the draw at Soton.

 

[Gorbachev]

Forest, Newcastle and Villa all lost.

You can never take our experience away. That's what got us over the line in the end.

7 wins and 2 draws when it mattered.

Could and should have been a clean sweep, but we go again next season.
