Forget about it. Just look forward. That game was 2.6% of our season.

If Forest-Chelsea ends in a draw (very possible), we actually qualify with 2 draws. Crazy scenario where Chelsea and us finish on 67pts and we get in on GD. Newcastle & Villa could also finish on 67 if they draw with Everton & Scum respectively. In fact, in that scenario, we would finish 3rd despite a dreadful end to the season. Those home wins vs. Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa may have saved our arses

We could do with Brighton beating LFC tomorrow, as that would end Fulham’s chances of Europe. I’d much rather go there with them having little/nothing to play for.

Good point. I missed that. Would take out Bournemouth too.

Come on Brighton.

I think Brighton will win tomorrow.
Liverpool have been on the piss on holiday all this week.

Tbh, I’m not convinced any team gets excited by the prospect of getting into the Conference League.

 

[Really_here]

Not sure cos I'm used to us just qualifying but this has to be the closest race for PL qualification for quite a while?

Forest winning Newcastle losing were both best outcomes in those games for us.

At last something goes our way this weekend

Top 5 finish City are 1/7 to get the top 5 along with Newcastle. Top both teams are 1/3 to get that. There is going to be a reaction from the weekend. It will be tricky game but I think once we score the confidence will flow. I also think Forest will find it hard with Chelsea actually think that be a draw. Man Utd v Villa the pressure is sky high there. They loose there last game no matter what they do mid week he could get sacked. So again I wouldn't be shocked if that's a draw too. I expect Newcastle and Arsenal both to win.

I relearnt on Saturday that the odds mean fuck all sometimes!

Sounds a bit like 1998 when we thought a win away at Stoke would keep us up, but all our rivals win too and the trapdoor opened..

I don’t remember a single City fan at the time thinking a win against Stoke would keep us up.

Maybe you need different mates then

Small crumbs pal, but you take them where you can!

Strange response. It was 27 years ago so I’ve picked a few new mates up along the way, including quite a few on here.

Have you got exactly the same mates that you had last century?

I went to that match with great mates. We were knew what were were up against but we believed a win would probably see us through…
You obviously had a different experience..
I am still close to those lads even though it was a million years ago.
Have a nice evening..

When United win the Europa league on Wednesday night, they will absolutely roll over for Villa, on the chance we miss out on CL qualification.

Villa would have twatted them no matter what anyway so means fuck all mate

Thanks.

And glad you’re still close to your twentieth century mates.

Goes with your bizarre eighteenth century mentality.. Fuck off and haunt someone else you weirdo.

Good grief there was a fair few of us thought it would !! Certainly a lot more than a single fan !

Biggest game of the season Tuesday night.
