We didn’t finish top 4 (2021/22)

I have this fear too, Spurs are always set up well to sucker punch better teams. Still though pound for pound Pool are better in every position nearly and always raise their game to fuck at home.

It’s a mental game now, these two wins of ours will be in Spurs head.

We have to carry this momentum into next week

The fact Liverpool need to be flawless to have any chance at the title really works to our advantage.

Liverpool haven’t lost at Anfield in front of a crowd since 2017. No chance Spurs win there.

West Ham was the game I expected us to lose a few weeks ago, but now that they’re playing their semis both sides of that, we’ll probably beat their B team easily.

Actually the Newcastle away looks the hardest now. They’re on ridiculous form right now and that will be their last home game of the season.

I feel like this will come down to the last game, just like the good old days of Wenger.

For me success or failure comes down to this last 5 games this season.

I know lots don’t feel the same way with the youngest side in the league narrative, late season injuries and trimming the squad in January.

But for me to push forward and have that CL lure in the summer is imperative to attract the sort of talent we desperately need, the CL money is also important. We’ve pretty much only had 1 competition to focus on since January.

2 points clear of Spurs with 5 games remaining, top 4 or bust.

Although we’ve won our last two games against decent opposition both could have gone either way.

In fact apart from Man City, Liverpool and possibly Chelsea, there aren’t any other teams that have been consistent enough to be considered genuine top four quality.

So as long as we can get a bit of consistency, it’s in our hands but the league this season has been one of the most open and unpredictable most people have seen.

Not really. Top two are as predicted. Chelsea third no surprise.
The only real anomaly is United’s form. 4th was always going to be an open race. Nearly always decided on the last day of the season.

Is it just me looking at Chelsea again? The Hammers do them in tomorrow and they have a 2pts 1 GIH gap…

Ronaldo to pump them next Thursday
Frank Lampard gets one over his old club next weekend
Wolves do Wolves tings

We’re avin third boys!

I thought that but they still have two games in hand and are two points ahead of us.

They also have the easiest run in of the teams below them so I doubt they will blow it from this position, although next season without Abramovich they might start to struggle a bit.

Don’t Chelsea still have to play West Ham, Man United and Wolves, all 3 challenging for European positions? Doesn’t seem easier than our run, but yeah can see them bottling the 3rd position.

5 points ahead of us with a game in hand. 3rd is highly unlikely.

Yeah it’s gone now, we’d need to be perfect and take favours from Utd, Wolves and someone else really.

Needed WHU to get a draw at least but it was a pipedream anyway, Chelsea aren’t getting rolled by Utd.

If WestHam wins Europa league, then will the fourth team miss out or that rule hqs been changed ?

a draw is more than enough even if Spurs beat Liverpool but then we will need to win the other four games which is not that difficult.

Liverpool beating Spurs will make Arsenal firm favourites.

anyways, Spurs havent looked that great and Arsenal shall really fancy taking something from White Hart Lane.

If that happens it means we’re on the same points as spurs but they have a much better goal difference than us.
But I think we’ll beat West Ham who really won’t be as up for it as much as we are.
Then if we beat spurs and assuming they lose to Liverpool, it means we will be big favourites to get a top four place.

Never know, after the next two sets of fixtures there is possibility to be pretty close on GD. It has closed back down a little to 6 goals between us.

If West Ham win the EL it’ll be the top 4 + West Ham like how last season in La Liga was top 4 + Villarreal.

So max United can finish on is 66

Max west ham can finish on is 64

Officially a 5 game mini season between the two north London bottlers for the final CL spot.

No. if Spur wins all their remaining games and we win all our remaining games and NLD is a draw then it wont come down to GD. We will finish fourth with 2 points ahead

If Pool beat them then we can even afford to lose one and still finish 2 points above them.
