It's irrational......where exactly are the points coming from?? Maybe Brighton, who might still be fighting for their lives, so that's no gimme......Leicester & Burnley away, highly unlikely with these cowards????Gunner Rob wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 8:47 amreading through this thread this post stands out as the best.augie wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 9:57 pmPerryashburtongroves wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 8:38 pmHow in fuck's name are we still only a point off 4th?
This is a fact that is being ignored by almost everyone on here - I didn't see the game tonight (thank god), and there is no doubt that we have been atrocious lately, but the reality is that IF we win at the weekend, AND manure and the chavs draw, then we will be back in the top 4 again No doubt that is a shocking indictment on the premier league, but it is what it is right now, and we cannot give up on top 4 when it is that close.
Secondly I really dont understand the logic of fans saying not getting into champs league with this squad would be a good thing - do they not realise that without champs league money, we will never be able improve the quality of this shit squad ? Would we be better off not being in it cos we cant win it and might take a few tonkings ? If that is the case would it be better if we dropped out of the premier league cos we aint good enough to win that either ?
Btw lefty, it may well be 40 years since wolves beat us in the league, but how many of those years were they actually in the same division ? If we were to use slanted stats like that, you could ask how many years it has been since we beat wrexham (for example).
None of what I am saying is meant as a defence in any way of our players, manager, club, or recent performances, but right now we should focus on the remaining games, not throw in the towel, and save any autopsies until the seasons end ?
1. as bad as we are we actually only need a point on Sunday at Leicester (if United beat Chelsea) and we are back in the top 4 and it is back in our hands again.
2. augie hits the nail on the head - getting in the top 4 is NOT about being in the Champions League - it is about getting some much needed extra money for Emery to overhaul the squad. Without it this just won't happen and unfortunately we are not just going to stand still, we are going to go into decline.
3. I have been positive on here going into matches because it is absolutely vital that we finish in the Champions League for next season. 3 games to go - this club can still do it. I remain confident
And I have zero faith in Kroenke spending CL money on new players.... if we get into CL with this team, why do we need other players?? That will be Kroenke's thinking with regards to his money making soccer team.
