[Albion] Apparently 8th place "still gets Europe", if...

[portslade seagull]

I see Ferguson is getting plenty of game time again....... Not !!!!!!!

 

[oldboyroy]

Just the small issue of also having to find 1 extra point than brentford in these last 2 games which actually looks the least likely option vs all the others for chelsea to finish 7th and win the cup

Might start tomorrow with a draw against Liverpool if current score with Brentford stays same

And their tactics. They spent yesterday and most games sitting deep, just two or three runners in rare moments of transition. They simply don’t put in the km shifts of Albion teams. Similarly Everton, Forest, Villa.

I only watched a few minutes of yesterday’s nightmare, but to me Palace looked like a table football formation.

A perfect-aligned row of five at the back, then another might-as-well-have-a-metal-rod-through-them row of 4 just in front of them, and one player on his own almost venturing up to near the halfway line at times.

Its the hope that kills!

Even if things stay this way, it will only be in our hands if we win tomorrow- I've got no faith in City getting something against Bournemouth.

How he’s being managed by the club at the moment is absolutely bizarre

As it stands this is getting very exciting again.

If we can just scrape a draw Vs pool and beat spurs it is very very conceivable that forest beat Chelsea.

Will Chelsea f up the conference final though !!!?

In theory if Chelsea are to lose Vs forest. City need ONE point in 2 games to overtake them !!!!

 

[oldboyroy]

What a dumb comment,

Compare points lost in last minute, versus won in last minute.

It’s worst case even.

It's actually 17 gained and 22 lost this season. My comment maybe dumb but still 5 points difference

 

[London Irish]

I may be one of the few NSC posters that really doesn't mind no European Football next season?

Given the current side we have I think we would get pasted almost every game.

Keep on improving the squad and also think hard about how we can go further than 9th or 10th in the Premier League in 2025/26.

Look at the teams in the final this week mate, it’s not a demanding competition

They're at home to Muff and away at Fulham last day.

Yet two teams a fair way behind us in the Premier League are about to contest the final of the higher tier competition...

 

[peterward]

Never bought a half and half scarf before, but if someone has an Albion, Forest, Villa, Man City 1/4 1/4 one for next weekend i'm in.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Bournemouth overtake us on GD if they win both of theirs and we only get a win and a draw though!

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

Just 1 point needed from city and 1 point needed from villa would leave forest to beat chelsea and chelsea end 7th

We also have the luxury of a draw being "ok" tomorrow as long as we follow with a win next sunday

Good point arghh

 

[Hugo Rune]

This thread will die after 4pm today.

Our European dreams formally ended by an unholy trinity of Atwell, Palace and Potter.

 

[oldboyroy]

We can only concentrate on ourselves. Get something tomorrow and things carry onto the last game weekend. Lose tomorrow which is likely given they're the champions and we can count us out.

At home to Leicester last game too, so need Citeh to at least get a point at home.
