Rayvin 5924 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I reckon we end up between 40 and 45 pts, which will obviously be more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 49975 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Norwich won't get to what we've currently got, Watford will be lucky to get to 30 points too, and I reckon 18th won't be much beyond 30. 8 points between now and the end of the season would be enough for us, although obviously I hope we do much better than that. I mostly just hope that we get thoss 8 points quickly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I agree, it would need somebody to go on the sort of run we've just been on. Leeds look decent yesterday though, I thought they were doomed previously. Eriksen makes Brentford a completely different prospect if he stays fit and keeps starting games. I honestly think Everton are the most likely for the drop now.

Ayatollah Hermione 14683 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 We could easily beat Spurs away if Conte has been listening to Leonard Cohen all week and sends them out depressed. If he’s been on the Italo-Disco, we’re fucked 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5924 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Well I gave a bit of a range there since there can always be surprising results, but I think 6 points from the home games and 7 from the away ones. Takes us to 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think Everton are the most likely for the drop now. Expand I think it's hard to call Everton yet because they have so many games in hand versus those around them. They get two wins from that and they're more or less on even footing with us. The main thing though is that we'd actually need 2 or 3 teams to put a run together for it to be any threat to us. We've done the hard work in clawing our way out - we don't need to keep it at this level, we just need to match the pack. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14683 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 We play Everton two days before their FA Cup quarter final so that could well play into our hands. Whether it be in squad rotation or all of their players thinking ahead to the big one, it’s a test of Lampard who, let’s be honest, doesn’t seem up to it.

Expand We want Man City to pump Man United tonight too. Get the title race over with so by the time we come to face Liverpool and them one after the other, they're both done with the league and completely distracted by the CL. The semi finals fall right around when we play both of them. Plus I love watching Ronaldo adjust to life as a mortal which is just another reason to want to see them get fucking knacked tonight. Also if Arsenal have sewn up a CL spot by the time we play them, they'll be on the beach. This all assumes that we aren't done and dusted by then anyway, which I think we will be.

Expand I think 2 or 3 games back I’d have said about 38 points too. In any case, even though there’s good reason to think we could end up on more now, 38 points would still be plenty. Ditto 36 imo.

There will be draws here and there too. This unbeaten run has saved our season. Question now is how high up we finish. 10th or higher would help us attract players in the summer.

Expand I don't even think we need to be top 10 to attract players, although I get what you're saying. A blind man can see that we are a club going places. Staveley and Ghodoussi tell a compelling story about where they want to take us, we've got a very good manager, and we've already got a couple of big names in the squad. Bruno and Trippier, I'll always have loads of time for, because they believed in "the project" even when we really looked in the shit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 36725 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Honestly don’t think it makes much does between 10th or say 15th in terms of attracting players come the summer. A positive end to the season with a continuation of the form would be great. But players will look at the potential of what can be achieved in the next couple of seasons of so. None of the clubs around us can compete in that score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
