Although to be fair, they did have the cup winners cup final a few days later so you couldn’t blame them. Unlikely given that they have to win it to ensure qualification for the Europa League.

Also as has been said elsewhere they NEED to win the game to ensure they qualify for the Europa League as opposed to dropping into the European Conference League, which is what will happen if West Ham win in Sussex and Man U lose or draw. In other words we will probably have a real game on our hands even more so if their new manager is watching. Edited by doombear (18 May 2022 10.35am)

We are guaranteed to finish 8th if we win our two matches and wolves don't win away at Liverpool, and Leicester only pick up 3 points, Chelsea A, Southampton H, if we get 4 points we would finish 10th if Brighton don't Win at home to West Ham, Simples, COYP so we are not guaranteed anything - it is based on a few teams above us not doing that well and of course us getting max points, which IMHO is a big ask. Clearly there are a number of scenarios that could happen between now and the Sunday evening but as with life nothing is guaranteed

Well they haven’t been bothered all season, even when they had a chance of champions league qualification, so why would they start now? especially as a few of them will be moving on Edited by monkey (18 May 2022 12.25pm)

Although to be fair, they did have the cup winners cup final a few days later so you couldn’t blame them. Unfortunately in 2017 we were soundly beaten 2-0 by their youngest line up in PL history with them having one eye on the Europa League Final the next week. Also they will be well rested compared to us and up for this in order to see of the Spammers. Hopefully it goes your way against them and not the other. Couple of wins last 2 tough games and over 50 points would be a great haul for the season. COYP !! Edited by Booted Eagle (18 May 2022 3.29pm)

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

I think 10th is more realistic now

It's about time we cracked the top 9. Of clubs that have played as many or more seasons as us in the EPL, all have finished at least as high as 8th once (WBA) and many who have spent less time have achieved at least one higher postition e.g Forest 3rd in 1994/5
