Anyone else feel like there is no such thing as “the top six” anymore? It’s the top two.
Top Four Race 2018/19
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
It still exits since there is still a big gap between 6 and 7.
Bigger gap between 2 and 3
Question is, does nobody want to secure 3rd and 4th? Is there hidden competition going on where shittiest out of chelsea, arsenal, united and spurs get 700 millions?
You don't during a few friendly games in 1 month either. Feel like everyone throw all the hope usually on a good preseason. Last season everyone was hoping Sanchez will be great again once he has a good preseason. I get the idea about the hope but don't put much expectations that after a few friendly games in 1 month the team will look 180 degree different. You are setting yourself up for a disappointment.
For me preseason are just meaningless games about building up your fitness for the upcoming season after a long vacation. The style itself is only built by playing it regularly week in week out in the season itself. You can't build a style just in 3 or 4 friendly low-intensity games. It's built during the season.
What just happened with tottenham, another defeat?
Yes. Will be without Son and Foythe for the last PL game. Unless Son's red card rescinded.
And 2 players got sent off, they are lucky as it should have been 3. Dier should have been sent off too.
Wow, still in top 4 race if arsenal or Chelsea drop points and we win 6.
Strong Chance arsenal might drop points, we need no slack in last 2 fixtures.
Plus Everton the last game... Without son or Kane and a cl semi final in between
Looked nailed on for cl qualification before kanes injury... Real possibility they miss out Now
That feck up against Chelsea is going to prove costly. We have the easiest fixtures on paper.
No chance.
This season yes, but it's not like Liverpool have been finishing top 2 all the time.
Yeah but, there has been a top 6 for 3 seasons now with it being the same 6 teams. This is the first season that those two teams were both far ahead of everyone.
Good. Let's hope Everton are in the mood to finish the season in style and we don't feck up.
Theodore Walcott, this is your moment. A 95th minute winner against Spurs to kick them out of the Top 4 please.
It's because the other 3 teams are in woeful form also.
Hard to digest the fact that there's a posibility Spurs, City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea will all play CL football next season while we will have to play on thursday nights. Even harder to digest the fact that just one more fecking win would have made things look so different for us.
Did the FA send covert threads to all clubs regarding a top 4 finish? Seems like everyone's battling for a top 5/6 spot instead of 3/4.
What incredible is when you realise they've lost 13 games this season...and are still 3rd.
That possibility has existed for at least half a season. One win would've made it different, one loss would've made it worse, no point worrying about spilt milk.
Its not fixed right now.. Tottenham play Everton next.. A loss there and anything is possible. Arsenal have to play burnley away.
Its going to the last day.
Cardiff is down and Brighton is alive.
It means Arsenal little chance to drop point tomorrow. But they have two away trips next week so still chance to drop points.
Also we get great chance to destroy Cardiff at home. We have to keep concentration on top 4 race until end of season.

Big result was the Wolves win. Had that not happened then Watford, Everton and Leicester woulda still had a chance of Europe.
Now there's nothing left to fight for except pride. Coulda done without that.

the drop in performances after his appointment is clearly more than a coincidence
he was actually appointed after the loss at Arsenal
probably true
it's different for us as we fought so hard to get back into it just to throw away chance after chance.....
it's the hope that gets you
That's why I'm not even contemplating all those permutations that somehow let's us back in next week.
Europa League it is. :sigh:
Top 4 may not be enough to secure CL football next season. If Arsenal or Chelsea win the EL and end up outside top 4, only the top 3 will play in the CL. Basically, Everton have to beat Tottenham to leave United i chance.
That's not true, only way finishing 4th doesn't get CL place is if Spurs win the CL and finish 5th and whoever finishes 6th win the EL.
We were in that top two last season so no.
The only way top 4 does not make the CL is if Spurs win the CL and finish outside the top 4. If Chelsea or Arsenal win it a finish outside the top 4 then 5 PL sides make the CL like they did 2 seasons ago.
Not trolling here, but lads just dont do it to yourselves, top 4 is gone. Us and/or Arsenal are not both dropping points tomorrow. Utd have put up a good fight, but its gone
Well, top 4 is still in our hands - but we'll need to beat Everton.
I think you and Spurs will get those places, not Arsenal.
@SquishyMcSquish thought you were finishing miles ahead of us this year? oopps
im not pretty confident we will get it. We need a win tomorrow, and a draw at worst to leicester, i think
I think Watford will get a result tomorrow in all honesty and they won't win v Leicester.
Its Arsenal and Spurs for top 4
Its Arsenal and Spurs for top 4
Arsenal have burnley away and tottenham have Everton. It's not over until last day now. Too many possibilities.
Arsenal got Brighton too who are in it with relegation fight.
fair point i think burnley may hold arsenal to a draw. brighton will get ruined IMO
Not anymore, Cardiff have been relegated.
