Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

[WiganSpur]

I'd actually take a 1-0 Arsenal in this game. It's the goal difference i'm worried about now Brighton are safe. Last thing we need is them banging in 4 or 5 without reply. Would give us little room for manoeuvre if we are beaten by Everton. If they got close to us on GD then we are no longer afforded the luxury of them being able to draw at Burnley no matter our result.

 

[E17yid]

Burnley away is incredibly hard for most teams especially for Arsenal who are shit away from home and have a massive game in Spain on Thursday.

They ain’t winning that imo. Or at least, their away form for the entire season would suggest they won’t.

 

[WiganSpur]

So basically if Arsenal don’t beat Burnley next week we are guaranteed top 4 even if we lose

As long as Arsenal don't hammer Brighton and we don't get hammered by Everton by 2 or 3 goals.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Chelsea 71 pts Max 74 +24 GD
(A) Leicester

Tottenham 70 pts Max 73 +28
(h) Everton

Arsenal 66 pts Max 72 +20
(A) Burnley
..........................................................
Man Utd 66 pts Max 69 +13

Us a week or so ago: FUCKING BOO BRIGHTON, ANTI FOOTBALL!!!

Us today: YEAH BRIGHTON, ANTI FUCKING FOOTBALL!!!

Hahaha - this is so fucking true.

Come on you seagulls!!!!

Brighton just need to play the way they played against us. But get the draw.

Would rather we just fucking won. Anything can happen in a football match as we all saw yesterday afternoon.

Whilst I agree I don't want them banging 4 or 5, don't write Brighton off.

 

[Don_Felipe]

We have to do better against Everton at home than then against Burnley away.

If I supported a normal team, I'd be confident....

If the goons win 5-0 & we lose 3-0 we will miss out on goals scored

True but we’re spurs innit

 

[cjbyid]

Brighton won't do anything today.

Just win next week. Somehow. Please.

 

[E17yid]

Levy best have rung up Chrissy and offered him a Bentley if they take points off the scum.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

So do we want the goons to reach the Europa final to take there eye off the final day ?

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

This does improve our situation. We all thought Utd were dead guaranteed to finish on 71 points, which would have meant we had to draw against Everton at least. Arsenal’s final game is very tough however, so in theory we can now lose the last game and slither through, which we would not have been able to do if Utd won.
It’s fairly shameful however if we have to rely on the shittiness of others to ensure our qualification.

That's why United dropping those points today is so significant, had they won today and we drew with Everton, they were more likely to pip us on the final day having the easier fixture over Arsenal.

We obviously have to play to beat Everton but if we don't, and Arsenal don't win against Burnley we're still finishing fourth.

 

[glacierSpurs]

So basically if Arsenal don’t beat Burnley next week we are virtually guaranteed top 4 even if we lose (unless we get thrashed)

Get past the almighty Brighton first!!

 

[Guntz]

So do we want the goons to reach the Europa final to take there eye off the final day ?

Yes.

Chelsea will beat them in a final, Hazard will terrorise them in his last game.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Worth mentioning that Chelsea are away to Leicester after another Thursday nighter.

Lose there and we only need a draw to top them

 

[Carson35]

Arsenal will win today but they could struggle next week at Burnley. If they fail to beat Burnley we could lose our last game and still finish forth.

Next week’ games will all start at the same time. So we won’t know what is going to happen. We will need to win regardless unless if Arsenal drop points today.
