Weekend 7/8 May - Other Games

[Edmonton Saint]

**** off Liverpool

[mrfahaji]

Typical Arsenal bottling it when a win can achieve something, they only ever do it under pressure when they're trying to avoid disaster. You'd think they would have been buoyed by our result.

[Pamplemousse]

2-2

[Batman]

Nice goal for Arsenal. It's been coming

[mrfahaji]

Really hoping I spoke too soon, would be lovely if City don't get on top 4

[Pamplemousse]

Liverpool now winning 2-0

[Batman]

Need a Chelsea side on the beach to hold Liverpool up. FFS

Chelsea and Liverpool do not like each other. Like Chelsea were up for it against Spurs, they'll be up for this one I'm sure.

[SNSUN]

Hate to say it, but after looking at a few permutations I think Liverpool will nick 6th by a point from us, in 7th, leaving West Ham a point behind us in 8th. Then we're resorting to cheering on United in the cup final. Yuck.

 

Whatever happens, even if we finish 8th it has been a remarkable end to the season.

 

(I still want Arsenal to steal a win today though, keeps United keen for West Ham game.)

[Saints foreva]

Can't imagine Liverpool will put out a full strength side on the final day against WBA.

I think we will finish 7th cannot see West Ham winning both there remaining games

[angelman]

Would be funny if ManC don't make top 4!

[JxgrSaint]

We need a Man U side who can still finish top 4 to beat West Ham; Chelsea to beat Liverpool or West Brom to do a job against a pre-Europa final weakened Liverpool and then we need to beat a severely weakened Palace who'll be resting most of their team for the Cup final as they've got nothing to play for in the league.

 

I wouldn't write 6th place off quite yet tbf...

[Saint-Armstrong]

FT: City 2-2 Arsenal

 

Two wins in the final two games now guarantee that MUFC qualify for the UCL ahead of MCFC.

 

Should help us as they've got West Ham up next and should be more fired up now.

[whelk]

Would be funny if ManC don't make top 4!

 

Funnier if Man Utd don't though

[James]

All we need is a weakened Liverpool to fail to win one of their games right (assuming we beat Palace)?

 

With that and United needing to win to grab top 4 I'm pretty positive about our chances of 6th.

 

As if anyone expected Liverpool not to win against a garbage Watford at home?

[Lighthouse]

So we're now Man Utd fans for 2 weeks? I feel disgusting.

[Saints foreva]

Eithad Stadium basically empty for their lap of appreciation. Awful support from City fans.

Basically this is us this week...

[adrian lord]

Eithad Stadium basically empty for their lap of appreciation. Awful support from City fans.

 

Typical ungracious Big Club fans. Bit like when Man/Arse/Chelsea fans pour out of Wembley immediately these days if they don't win whatever cup it is and don't wait for the presentations.

 

Pellegrini deserves better for his farewell speech. He's a decent chap and let down by his players not turning up much this season. He must be dismayed at such incivility from the English fans...mind you, it is Manchester!

It's a dark place but we've got to go there [emoji53]

[charliemiller]

I can't see wanyama going to Arsenal. Coqellin is decent and el neny looks good also

 

Welbeck might miss the plane to the euros here

 

Wanyama will go to Spuds

[Chalkboy]

Wanyama will go to Spuds

 

ITK?

[Rut]

As if anyone expected Liverpool not to win against a garbage Watford at home?

 

I watched that game. Watford had every chance to get at least a draw. Lpool were poor but Watford couldn't take their opportunities.

 

Ho hum. Pretty simple now though.

 

West Ham don't beat Man Utd

Lpool don't beat Chelsea

Saints beat Palace (depending on how West Ham do we may need to do better than they do at Stoke)

 

6th place. Thank you very much.

 

All without the aid of having to cheer on Man Utd or Lpool in their cup finals.

 

Other scenarios? See what happens come kick off (or end of game) on Sunday. Some boffin will have it all nailed by then.

[SNSUN]

Or to look at it another way, we're anti-Palace and hoping they lose twice...
