How many times have we played really well for the game. DW posted about 8 , a number of those were losses. So we play well once in every 3 to 4 games. The results there are better than the performance in half our wins . Only Chelsea above us haven’t beaten us and they still have a chance to for that . Our biggest hope in my opinion, is for Norwich to be down and Liverpool to either be champs or out of it on the last game .
Without doubt. All we can do is get to at least 60 points and hope it’s enough. Their European exploits the only thing that keeps us in it. Hopefully their GD takes a pounding today aswell
I think you’re right with that , although how winning the cup equates to finishing 7th is a bit of a mystery to me. I am in the camp that if you asked me before a ball was kicked how you wanted to qualify for Europe, win a cup or finish 7th it’s the former all the time assuming we also stay up
The cup takes precedent, hence Palace being able to upset the apple cart.
If Palace beat Chelsea and then Liverpool or City they will fully deserve European football. Fortunately they almost certainly won’t.
Or the 2 Palace defeats...Brentford at home etc
That's the thing Cyber couldn't ever understand when someone said Utd are shit yet finish above us. They are in terms of their relatively recent history, expectation, worldwide standing, massive transfer spend and wage bill, but their squad quality gets them enough results to be 6th...but 6th for them is shit, 8th for us isn't
And then blow it in the next two
