Race for The Top 10

If Chelski beat liverpool we r done. That Bournemouth result was costly.

 

[JayB]

We just need to beat Palace and then hope that Chelsea win or draw their final league match, or failing that beat Arsenal in the cup final.

How does that affect us?

A month ago everyone wanted to bin the Europa League. Now it's life or fucking death! I still think we'll get 6th, but if we don't qualify it's hardly Chelsea winning the CL all over again...

 

[SecretLemonadeDrinker]

I confidently predict that we won't be in Europe next season because either:
a) We lose at Palace and the Goons win their last two games, so both they and Wolves finish above us; or
b) we finish seventh but the Goons win the FA Cup.

I'd take b) as the more likely as I think we'll probably draw with Palace and our goal difference is six better than the Arse. But if we can fuck it up, we probably will.

I think what you’re saying is that that would be the spursy thing for us to do.

But I hope that you're aware that that is also very much the spursy thing to say.

The team needs to be mentally tougher, certainly. But so do the fans.

Technically they need 3 points to secure CL football - if they beat Liverpool they have nothing left to play for when they play Wolves. We need them to beat Wolves, so we need them to not beat Liverpool

Got ya, cheers

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Hopefully Liverpool will be up for it then. I believe they are getting the trophy on Wednesday so they will probably want the win beforehand.

 

[Yiddo100]

If wolves lose we will only need a point, as long as arsenal don’t make up 6 goal difference ( which is possible with who they’re playing)

 

[stormfly]

We’ll win on against Palace and then it’s just down to other results. If we don’t get into Europa it just means we’ll have to win 3 things instead of 4 next season. Not ideal but I’ll take it in Jose’s first full season.

 

[spud]

How about you lot change your mentality and quit predicting doom and gloom for a change, it's utterley insufferable.

Suck it up. You want positivity go and join a new age manifestation seminar.

The only time that the fans need to be 'mentally tough' is in the stadium urging the team on. This is an Internet forum; we have a choice here.

Let's be fair, 14 points from the first 12 games before Poch got sacked was costly, not a disappointing draw in an otherwise good run of form at the end.

 

[Gspurs11]

If we finish 6th but Arsenal win the cup, do we go into a qualifying round or straight into the group stage?

 

[Montalbano]

Qualifying round, unfortunately.

We would be effectively getting the Europa League spot given to the EFL Cup winner.

So it'd effectively be like we'd won a cup...?

If wolves had beaten Sheffield Utd and Arse they’d be third, what a great season for them and dispels the myth that you can’t play europa and challenge the league.
With one or two Mendez additions close season I can see them making a serious challenge next season.

A challenge for what? Not the league?

They are a very good side, but miles away from winning the league, I’d say.

I am supremely confident that Liverpool will beat Chelsea this week. They will be fully motivated after recent slip ups, and they are ultimately a much better side than Chelsea.

They have also had 4 days clear extra rest than Chelsea. Their high intensity style should dominate them.

 

[g_harry]

How does that affect us?

Think if chelski win that books champions league and therefore may not be as critical to win their last games v Wolves.

 

[arunspurs]

I want us to win against Palace next week, finish the season on high. If we can do that, even if we lose out EL , I will settle for it. Finishing in EL is not in our hands. So, why get fussed about it.

If we can end on a high, that bodes well for next season, starting in 7 weeks.

 

[Mate]

The only reason I want us to be in Europa is because I genuinely believe Mourinho will take it seriously and take us far in the competition.
