Thought 6th could be conference if man.u win fa cup?
If Man United finish 7th and win the Fa Cup yes 6th is Europa conference, so if they catch us and come 5th it wouldn’t matter 6th would then be Europa league if they win the Fa cup.
Newcastle can get to a maximum of 65 points from here if they win all their remaining games, they won’t do it.

Even 4 points for us should be enough for top 6 and maybe still top 5.
Although I definitely want and think we’ll get more than 4 points.

Plus Man United do not beat City in the cup final haha.

Don't think I will be fully convinced until either we beat Chelsea or Newcastle slip up.( The sooner the better) Ironically a Man Utd win v them now suits us even if we end up 6th. Having said all of that, we really wouldn't deserve Europa if we failed to secure it from here. Although to end up in the conference would be more like a punishment than a consolation prize.

Calm down, we will get 4th. Villa will probably only get one more point
Looking at their fixtures I think they'll get at least 4 between now and the end of the season. I think we need 4 wins, which we're likely not getting.

6 pts guarantees 5th. Villa kpr injured which will hurt them. Just have to win the next game and keep going.
Villa are not great at the moment, but then neither are we.

Agreed. I think we can beat Chelsea and Liverpool. Liverpool look like they’ve lost their fight.
Me too, actually think we could win all the remaining games, but at the same time I wouldn’t be surprised if we lost all the remaining games.

People need to chill and realise this season is about putting certain foundations in place and not really about where we end up in the table.

If we've pretty much cemented 5th(assuming 4th is no longer doable) by the time we play City (and Arsenal have beaten Bournenouth and United) will we genuinely roll over for City....

I mean whats the team talk behind closed doors....

'Try your best lads, as always, but let them come out on top'

Really curious to how we'd privately approach the game

Not a chance in hell Ange gives them any indication a loss is acceptable.

No professional footballer will try to lose the game unfortunately.

However, the crowd will make it feel like an away game. I also think if we’re a goal ahead or level with a few mins to go, we’ll be a bit more attacking than we usually would as there’s less to lose

Thats what I thought, but the atmosphere will feel really weird, surely that transmitts.

And at the back of their minds, including Agne, theyll know what outcome the fans are hoping for.

Weirdly it could lift the pressure and we play with freedom and we beat City lol

Lets hope 4tn is still a slight possibilty.

I don't care what the consequences are, we should aim to win every game we play, full stop. If there are Spurs players not giving their all against City I want them out of the club asap and I hope they get punished by the PL and FA. Professional sport is about winning, regardless who you're playing.

If 4th is still possible then im fine with beating City. Arsenal have a wobble left in them anyway

We have more chance of winning the Europa, as opposed to UCL. I hope we draw midweek, lose to liverpool and Villa have won their games.

Am I mercenary? yes. A fraud of a fan? yes. But anything to stop them idiots winning it. I couldnt care less about 4th.
