So everyone has played 36 games everyone has 2 games left (tues/Wed & next weekend)
Predict the top 10
Obviously City will top everyone else's list but fill in top 10 in how things will end up.
Man City (2 wins to finish)
Manure (2 wins to finish)
Liverpool (2 very comfortable wins to finish)
Leicester (defeat to Chelsea beat Spurs on the last day)
Chelsea (bet Leicester but only manage a draw against villa on the last day)
West Ham (2 wins to finish)
Arsenal (2 wins to finish)
Spurs (draw with Villa lose to Leicester)
Leeds (nil-nil away draw to Saints beat baggies)
Everton (lose both games)
So 9th for me on 57 points
Roll on next season
Looking at it now 1 game to go we cant finish lower than where we stand this morning 10th.
Realistically everton are the only team i think that were are likely to catch (they play city away), arsenal should beat BHA at home as TC10 has said and again the 15 goal difference between ourselves and Spuds is too much to close, even a die hard LUFC white rose tinted glasses fan would admit that.
10th/9th its still a brilliant PL return and i think the way we have approached games and tbf the way we altered our style around Christmas has definitely improved us defensively, still think we need to address set piece situations but overall a massive improvement in our backline without really taking too much away from our attacking players when we strike.
We are guaranteed to finish above Villa so that alone will be one reason why i can watch Sunday's game without the blood pressure hitting the roof.
Life's good if you're a Leeds Fan
MOT
The European Conference cup must be avoided. The manager operates with a small squad as we all know, even with a number of promising U23’s chomping at the bit. Would he use them in such a competition? I doubt it given the way he operates, so the small first team squad would be far too stretched. IMO it’s not worth the risk to our league campaign for, let’s face it, a third rate competition.
I reckon 9th is a good shout. Would be best to finish 8th, get the place cash but just avoid the Wonderbra European Conference Vase
We should in theory, on paper, finish 9th now after tonight's results....
Arsenal SHOULD beat Brighton at home....
Everton SHOULD lose away at Citeh....
We SHOULD beat WBA at home....
Quality season 👍⚽👏👏
Agreed Bull!
I think 8th is as high as i want to finish this season
Finishing 7th and having to play in the Europa Conference League (third comp) would have a detrimental affect on our 21/22 season as we wont have the players in the squad to fight all corners
59 would be a great season back in the Prem.
Would attract a far better calibre of players.
First things first, renew MB's contact before end May.
can we make 59 after last nights victory?
