Lets talk about those 12 loses. Turn 4 of them into draws, 4 points. 15 draws, just 3 of them into wins would be 6 points.
10 in total putting us 4th.
Enjoy the moment, but never sit back.
I see that 60 pts is the target for Europe. Is this an average over the past few seasons or a genuine target number that has qualified over the past few years.
Because looking at our fixtures, 7 wins from 15 games or 22 pts from 45, is more than do-able.
Plus a top 5 team have to win the FA Cup for 7th to apply and, as it stands, that needs to be Man City/Arsenal (one leaving next week), Spurs (one of our target teams), Man Utd (don't think they'll fade) or, should the unthinkable happen, Liverpool, although they too are a target team to be...
EUROPE
Not sure whether we should have a more accurate European tracker. Points isn't necessarily the guarantee of any Euro place. It could be 7th or 5th, who knows.
To sum up-
Top 4 straight into the Champions League group stages.
5th is the Europa League group stage.
FA Cup winner is Europa...
Ask anyone who was at Hereford or, like me, done Lincoln City in the 70's if we'd like Europe before we are incapable of getting on a plane. Sorry for being greedy but I want to do 'that trip' and don't care where it is, as long as it's not Scotland!
