Arsenal won't catch them imo. Got no regular goalscorers. In tough games they'll fold. Liverpool will beat them at Anfield and that'll be that.
 
Arsenal still have to play Liverpool, Forest and United away. United isn't a very favourable away day for them despite how bad United are.

They have CL to contend with and have no real out and out goalscorers.

If Liverpool beat us on Sunday it is curtains.

We will get 3rd in my opinion.

To finish second after the issues of this season would be an incredible achievement, like you I can't see it , for me if we quality for next years CL it will be a huge plus.

I'm old school would much rather win the FA Cup than finish in the top four. Know it's not an either or just stating personal preference.

Geordies far preferable to the scousers we have had a couple of bad trips to St James but nothing compared to our nightmare trips to Anfield. The Geordies were sound at Wembley in 76 unlike the scousers at Wembley. Come on the mags time you took a trophy back to Tyneside, scousers win the press will call for a bank holiday to celebrate.

No problem, but top 4 is huge this year and the CL cash that comes with that, even more so with a huge rebuild needed and the likes of Wirtz will need
to sign.

Play like we did against Newcastle and 3rd is a cert. Play like we did against Madrid and we are sweating on getting that bonus spot.

The country coefficient works by averaging the coefficient of all their representative clubs.

You gain coefficient points for winning/drawing matches. You get more points in the Champions League, then Europa, then Conference league.

The two top countries get a bonus (5th place in our case) entry. Currently England have the most points, then Spain, then Italy (with Portugal a way back in 4th).

We have 3 teams in UCL, Italy 1. We have 2 teams each in the Europa. We have 1 team each in Conference League.

It's pretty much impossible that their 4 representatives will outscore our 6, especially given that half of ours are in the Champions League (vs 1/4 of theirs).

It doesn't really matter whether Spain out perform us - the top two get bonus place, so we're only bothered about who finishes third.

Are you sure wins in the CL generate more coefficient points than wins in the Thursday Leagues? The reason I ask is because several teams who had to get through qualifying in the CL jumped to pot 3 (in the old format) because of points gained in the Europa League.
 
We are very fortunate to be in with a chance of 3rd after the season we have had.

At least if we get to the semi final of the Fa Cup he will play a full strength side for once….I would hope!

It's largely thanks to 23pts from the first 9 games. We picked up 5pts from the next 9!!! 1 win, 2 draws and 7 losses. Madness.

We have collected 16 from the last 7 games which will be good enough form to be top 5 and qualify for the CL next season.

Our run in isn't too bad and the teams around us are dropping points fairly regularly. When the pressure is on it will get to Forest and Bournemouth.

It will be tight but we will make it.
 
I genuinely believe we can still win this league if not finish second—like, for real. Like f***, these teams at the top keep dropping points like competition.

Unfortunately, what’s holding us back is the constant frustration of our injury-prone defenders. Just when we need stability at the back, they’re sidelined again, leaving gaps that disrupt our rhythm and consistency. It’s disheartening because with a fully fit defense, I have no doubt we’d dominate.

But despite these setbacks, I still believe. If we can keep key players healthy when it matters most, this title is ours for the taking.

The race for second is on for us here. A win tomorrow and we’re only 6 points behind those soft Cockney crybabies.

How good would a second placed finish in our ‘rubbish’ season be?!

The frustrating thing is, if you look at the top 2, in a “normal” City season, we would have wiped the floor with either of them. This should have been a winning the league in March and by 10-15 points season.

I genuinely believe you've been taking certain substances. I'm not sure if they're lawful.
