Is there any difference between finishing 2nd and 3rd (genuine question not being sarcastic). It won't make a difference to our co-efficient will it. The difference between 2nd and 3rd is around £2m of prize money... not insignificant, but clearly not the £60m or so between 4th and 5th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twister Posted 1 February 2020 Share Posted 1 February 2020 Sky must be in absoloute panic mode, nobody was watching the wolves game in the pub I was in. teams at the bottom starting to get adrift, league title done in Febuary. Ratings rise Id imagine a huge nose dive come the seasons end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that schadenfreude is not attractive but the thought that Harry's United would be kept out of the Chanpions League by his former club would raise a little smirk from me. It could well come down to the final game for Man Utd at the KP whether they get 4th or not... we might be on the beach by then... hopefully(?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post urban fox Posted 1 February 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 1 February 2020 Why are so many fixated on the chasing pack and our points gap. Ffs Man City lose and we can nick second place when we beat them at the kp. There is no title race but it could be a hell of a fight for second. We should be looking up and let them behind us worry about how they are going catch us. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t that be brilliant. 90 minutes in the sun singing ‘European Tour’, ‘On our way’ and ‘Fvck off Maguire’. No pressure on us and I would be very confident of giving them a hiding.

We're focused on top 4 because we all want a CL campaign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think Guardiola needs the Champions League so I expect them to prioritise that which might give us a chance somewhere along the line.

Jacnah Posted 1 February 2020 Share Posted 1 February 2020 1 hour ago, Leicester_Loyal said: Sheff Utd like us only have the FA cup, whereas Utd, Spurs and Wolves all have to juggle the Europe as well as the prem. I did suspect so, so for us it doesn't really matter if Man City win or draw, but aslong as Spurs don't get the win to close the gap. Pretty much so - at least as I understand it. My info is from the Monday night phone in a month or so back. They did a peice on it and walked through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 1 February 2020 Share Posted 1 February 2020 2 hours ago, Leicester_Loyal said: That's a great result for us. Sheff Utd could be the ones to worry about, but they're so far behind they shouldn't be able to catch us. EDIT: Just realised how much better our GD is too, that's basically an extra point for us. Sheffield United now have to be taken seriously as a threat to our top four spot. Any team up there after 25 games has to be given respect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 1 February 2020 Share Posted 1 February 2020 2 hours ago, Raw Dykes said: Perfect result for us. Although we didn't win, it's been a good day. We played well, kept Chelsea from making up any ground, and Wolves and Man Utd also still stuck miles behind. Nice to see Sheff Utd ahead of Man Utd, Spurs, Arsenal and Wolves this late in the season. Man City win tomorrow, please. A draw is fine, though. And another game ticked off with Man Utd, wolve and Chelsea for that matter not gaining any ground. 13 games to play now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finishing 5th instead of 4th costs the club about £70m and CL football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 1 February 2020 Share Posted 1 February 2020 You want to finish as high as possible obviously, and if we didn't finish third from here I'd be frustrated, but it won't mean too much with regards to next season in the Champions League- I think Ashley said we're in pot 4 unless we win the title so 2nd-4th, beyond material pride, isn't really significant.

Look up not down if you’re climbing a rock face or an ugly girl is servicing one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
