Race for the Top 4 - 2017/18

[coys200]

People already putting Liverpool in CL final. A team that were 3-0 to Sevilla at hft 2-0 to WBA just last week and let’s not mention Crystanbul, they have plenty of history. Added to Roma is an absolute cauldron. I’d imagine Roma fans welcome for the Liverpool bus will make the City incident look like a picnic.

Fuck sake, the importance of the win over Chelsea wasn't the ten points it was clear space which we needed going into the game against City, had we lost to Chelsea we'd have had to beat City. It wasn't about ten points or seven points it was putting ourselves to be where we are now, lose to Watford and we are still ahead of them, it is all in our own hands.
I wasn't worried at ten points and I am not worried now.

maybe peeps are forgetting that liverpool and chelsea still have to play each other - ie. either the team above us or the team below us will not get 3 points (or both if its a draw).

I can't put into words how great a draw between Chavs and 'pool would be!
Could you imagine if all three of us ended up on 75 points?

The weather forecast for tomorrow in London looks awful - torrential rain/ high winds. Hope the game isn't negatively impacted( ie levelling conditions) or is called off

Or Chelsea beat Liverpool and we finish above them both

 

[danielneeds]

Or Chelsea best Liverpool and we finish above them both

I know it wouldn't hurt Chelsea fans as much as it did us, but it would be kind of hilarious if they did overtake Liverpool for 4th, and then both the Dippers and Arsenal go on to lift the European trophies.

No... Just no!

I know, I know... But you have to find the comedy in life...

Liverpool get fucked by Roma (after being 5 up) or real thumping them in final after we never lost to real. Arsenal to get knocked out by athletico after playing 10 men for most a game and couldn't win..... Funny enough for me!

But if the other two HAVE to win those trophies, Chelsea suffering the same heartache they inflicted on us would be see a small cockle in my heart gently warmed.

Chelsea not in cl won't hurt as much as the other 2 I think.

LMAO people moaning that the gap is down to 2 and we haven't even played our game in hand yet

Not to mention that we have 2 on Liverpool lol

It would be a delicious silver lining to a very very VERY dark cloud!

Looking forward to tomorrow night, lets bag the 3 points then see how the press interprets it all.

 

[Shadydan]

We'll finish third.

Poch will absolutely have the players focused. In his book it explains how he was ripping about the Newcastle result two years ago and he wouldn't let it happen again. Look how we finished last season.

Leicester and Newcastle look to be on the beach, the team will want to bounce back tomorrow against Watford and West Brom should be our hardest game.

The Scousers and Chelsea will draw when they play. We'll be third.

Was speaking to a Newcastle fan last night he said exactly that since their win over Leicester they've relaxed now they know that they're safe, would expect Leicester to be the same hence their current form.

Last season we were ruthless in the last couple of matches against teams with nothing to play for, our intensity was too much for them and I expect the same, I think what happened at the end of 2015/16 really haunted Poch.

Commentator on WHU/MC just mentioned Tottenham have Chelsea suddenl breathing down their necks. Ah well.

It will not bother Chelsea fans one bit mate.




They will just go back to supporting manure or real madrid for a while.

Let's just finish above both and neither arse or Liverpool win feck all.

That's perfect in my book.

 

[longtimespur]

Just bring back our #1 game. Full tilt high pressing and we'll be fine. We'll even end up 3rd again.
Down to Poch and the players to do their jobs and not worry about the other teams results.
COYS.

 

[homer hotspur]

We now have to show we can do what Leicester and Chelsea did the last 2 seasons- and finish off the job ( top 4, rather than champions unfortunately) by winning games that we should expect to win under a degree of pressure to do so.
