I believe it would be in the Man City West Ham one too It is 4 points in total lost between the two... so a draw is best yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think you do understand this attitude because you’ve explained it right there mate 😎👍 The top 4/6 is bloody hard to crack on a consistent basis, purely down to money, European status + power which isn’t earned overnight. It’s likely to be one club of ‘our stature’ that can get in there. So obviously I choose us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised as I remember last season people cheering on a CL rival against Man City as they wanted to finish second and put more value on that than securing 4th place at the risk of finishing 5th. A draw and a mass brawl resulting in a large number of suspensions for both sides. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're to join us in the 4 or 6 they're more than welcome to come along for the ride as far as i'm concerned. The more teams pissing on the 'top' clubs and media's cornflakes the better.

Bats8711 Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 It’s math people. Of course it’s POSSIBLE to catch man city. But what % chance would it go up if they dropped points today compared to % chance of us getting top 4 if they don’t? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guvnor Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 Too many injuries for us to be serious title contenders, so a Man City win was the best result for us to maintain our top four position. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raw Dykes Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 2 minutes ago, peach0000 said: I get that it’s unlikely but personally I wouldn’t say it was impossible. While there’s a chance (in my mind) I’m going to dream. Maybe I’m foolish but to me a draw means two points being handed to rivals rather than three. No, it's not impossible, but it's as close as damnit. It would take a near perfect run from us and a pretty big wobble from them for us to catch them. Neither of those things are very likely, never mind both. They've got far more strength in depth than us and they are absolutely flying. 20 straight wins for them now and a 13 point gap to 2nd place with games running out. I think that gap will only grow from here. In my opinion, the title race is as good as over. They will be useful for us because they will take points off our rivals for top 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 What's all this West Ham and Slavia Prague love-in about? Because West Ham signed good players from them? It's like us wanting Monaco to do well because they gave us Tielemans or Le Havre with Mahrez. Bit odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even assuming that Man City only average 2pts per game from here on in we would still need to win all of our last 13 games to overtake them. So even if we won every match between now and the end of the season we would still be odds against winning the title. I'll cheer the bottom half teams on when they play Man City in the hope they have a Liverpool type collapse and we capitalise but hen they're playing the team below us in 4th place it's a no brainer where my loyalties lie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jayfox26 Posted 27 February 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 27 February 2021 The West ham game was the result we needed. Nobody is catching Man C now and we just need to focus on top 4. If anyone genuinely believes we can win the league with our injuries, our recent performances, how good Man C are and how far ahead they are, then you are deluded. We need Man U and the teams below us to drop points, forget Man C 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
