that would mean they stop Woolwich winning the fa cup. so i would rather that & us miss out on the sapping europa leagueThis should be edited to 'The race for top 6 still on?'.
Has anyone else considered the fact that it is now a real possibility that Sherwood could take Villa into Europe at our expense? I am sure that would vindicate some of the Sherwood fan boys on here, but it would make me unable to look at any sports pages for the next 6 months or so.
it was brilliant for the cup final preparation.It kept us awake and focused.
No it doesnt. It means they beat Liverpool in the Semi finals. Something that I wouldnt care about, if it wouldnt help Woolwich and maybe stop us qualifying for Europethat would mean they stop Woolwich winning the fa cup. so i would rather that & us miss out on the sapping europa league
On our day we can beat anybody. It's all about consistency which we haven't had in a zillion years.
No, league cup runners up dont (that was us). FA Cup do, unless they already have one, then it goes to the league. It has been that way for 5 years at leasti thought they changed it to domestic cup final runner ups dont get a place in europe. forgive me for not keeping up with the latest rules!
As long as I can remember.No, league cup runners up dont (that was us). FA Cup do, unless they already have one, then it goes to the league. It has been that way for 5 years at least
Our chances stand at around 0,1% perhaps and here is what needs to happen:
Next weekend we beat Newcastle while City draw to West Ham earlier on the day. Liverpool doesn't play on the weekend. Southampton lose to Stoke away of course.
4 City 33 62
5 Liverpool 32 57
6 Spurs 33 57
7 Southampton 33 56
The weekend after we beat Southampton away ending their hopes of Champions League qualification. Liverpool gets a draw at WBA, but win at Hull a few days later. City manage a win vs Villa at home, as they find form again.
4 City 34 65
5 Liverpool 34 61
6 Spurs 34 60
7 Southampton 34 56
The first weekend of May is a huge shock though as Spurs smash City at the Lane! Liverpool beat QPR at home and Southampton get back on track winning away to Sunderland.
4 City 35 65
5 Liverpool 35 64
6 Spurs 35 63
7 Southampton 35 59
Leicester are desperate for points and win a point at home vs Southampton, their hopes of catching Spurs seems pale. Liverpool gets beaten by Champions Chelsea and City beats QPR at home.
4 City 36 68
5 Spurs 36 66
6 Liverpool 36 64
7 Southampton 36 60
Liverpool beat Crystal Palace, but Spurs beat Hull at home too. A unmotivated City team suddenly lose again, while Southampton beast Timmy.
4 Spurs 37 69
5 City 37 68
6 Liverpool 37 67
7 Southampton 37 61
On the last weekend Spurs play Everton who can't use their in-form player Lennon and have nothing left to play for. Spurs, who suddenly found their form in the last six games end up at 72 points thus making the result of the City and Liverpool games irrelevant.
4 Spurs 38 72
5 City 38 71
6 Liverpool 38 68
7 Southampton 38 61
Next week I'll tell you how Spurs are going to win the League next season.
its simple. finish as high as we can & then if we get europa league football, play our youngsters & fringe squad players
I can't believe some 'fans' would genuinely hope we finish lower in order to avoid competing in Europe's second most prestigious cup competition - shameful scenes indeed
I also remember not so long ago qualifying for Europe was considered a great season. One can imagine that's the level of utter CUNT and fanboy twat fan a bit of CL football can attract to the club. The gift and the curse.
What if it is based on the evidence that being in that competition hasn't been that great a tournament for us? Or that those not wanting us to qualify for it do so as they would like us to have a greater chance of top four which could then allow us further success down the line?
These are possibilities. Do I agree? I'm not sold one way or the other; I can see the merits in both to be honest.
That isn't the reason I am a cunt though. My public masturbation campaign does.
Yes it was. There were other factors that played a part in us having a bad day?it was brilliant for the cup final preparation.
