Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

[Hotspurious]

Man United for me...then we can reuse our "Only place in London to see CL..." signage.

 

[Kingstheman]

Being pedantic, I think you mean Spurs finishing 4th guarantees CL for us? Aren't there mathametical scenarios for another team to finish 4th and not qualify?

Imagine the nightmare scenario...

We finish 4th...

But win the Champion’s League...

Hence denying ourselves our own 4th placed entry...

It’s a loophole within a conspiracy inside a meltdown...

Let’s cross that bridge if we come to it.?

 

[Roynie]

Look can we just put this beyond all doubt as to whether we will be in CL again next year and finish 5th!







Nah, just kidding, 6th 3rd it will be!

I hope we go strong on Saturday. I want Sonny at it - he’s shown that when he’s on his game and the opposition don’t stick 11 men behind the ball, he is unplayable. Regarding who else I want in the top 4, as disgusting as it makes me feel, it’s got to be Chelsea; For united it won’t be too much of a dent (although I feel they’re a long way off us currently), but for Arsenal it’ll be huge (due to the financial constraints their board put on them). Chelsea are heading towards a barren transfer spell (as we are aware), and therefore, champions league doesn’t particularly help them when it comes to strengthening - conversely, it may make them utilise their incredible youth which may actually be an enormous blessing (for them, not us. Although, as an England fan, I’d bot be adverse to seeing their young English talent get opportunities... asking as that doesn’t mean they’re too successful!).

Talk about bottling it!

plus Levy can put the posters up again

my hope for Saturday
beat Wet Spam

Sunday
Leicester beat the goons (goons can't catch us)
Man U beat Chelsea (would need a miracle goal turnover to miss top 4)

Tuesday
beat Ajax 2-0

Thursday
Chelsea lose
Arse at best draw 2-2

Saturday
beat or draw with Bournemouth (3rd spot confirmed)

Wednesday
don't lose on agg v Ajax

 

[spursram]

yes...we would have to win CL and finish outside top 4 AND Arsenal or Chelsea would have to win Europa League and finish outside top 4. Then, the 4th place team would miss out. The problem is, that scenario requires us to collapse and for Man Utd to climb up to at least 4th. Possible, but increasingly unlikely.

indeed, but not mathematically impossible.

 

[Johnspur]

Are you sure that Spurs
are the right team
for you?

Been supporting Spurs since 1992 and tbh it can't be good for my health. I'm 34 years old and I'm starting to look like Hans Moleman.

Is it your birthday this weekend mate? You hadn't mentioned.



(Happy birthday!!)

Even if Arsenal get CL we could put the posters up with "The only place in London to watch Champions League qurterfinals"

 

[easley91]

Even if Arsenal get CL we could put the posters up with "The only place in London to watch Champions League semifinals"

Fixed.

 

[Chinaspur]

Posters to go up on 2nd June:

The only place in London to see the Champions League Trophy.

 

[ValenciaYid]

Ok, Winks and Sissoko hopefully fit for Ajax on Tuesday....

 

[yusrisafri]

We beat spammers.

Man United beat the Scum.

Our CL place is guaranteed

 

[midoshairband]

I’m worried about finishing 4th and Chels or Arse winning the EL but finishing outside top 4.

if that happens, doesn’t it mean we get no CL, but we would get a by straight into the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy semi-finals next year?

Thanks for the info. Is that ITK or has Poch just said that? Could be both of course...

Sonny loves playing against the ham normally so hoping for a few goals after previous abuse he received.
