Wow. Somehow you've still concluded I'm the one that's got this wrong.
Premier League Gameweek 22
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Because we are highly unlikely to do better than City during the remainder of the season. Qualifying for the Champions League is really important so it's best to be as far away from the chasing pack as possible. Spurs keeping up with us is bad news because we're not finishing above City so we have to make sure that at least one of Newcastle and Spurs stays behind us - and with the fixture congestion and our squad that's not going to be easy.
How can bringing another spot into a top 4 race while maintaining our lead against 5th be a bad thing?
Simple maths here buddy
Good point
Why are we highly unlikely? Have you not seen the table?
You’re basing a lot here on your assumptions and not what’s happening on the pitch then are surprised not many agree with you?
If we aren’t finishing above City then they’ll take points off all of our rivals in the second half of the season right? If not then we’ll be up there with them if not out right ahead.

Why? We're a better team than City, the table will reflect that by the end of the season.
Hopefully, yes. Which is why it's annoying they haven't done it today.
Some of you must be real tense watching football
It's hard to take posts like this seriously.
I try ignore your posts but
How?!?
City are 3 points ahead with a massive advantage in goal difference. If they had drawn, we would need 6 points more than them to move up. As it is, we just need 4 points. Ceteris paribus this was a great result for us. Even if you think ceteris is not paribus, there’s a team in between Spurs and us.
Either way helps us. There isn’t a universe where we cant catch City and if we can’t catch them that means they’ve gone on a run and taken points off our rivals.
It can only be good. I still don’t understand this.
Yeah, because your posts have been so enlightening.
We're 3 points points behind after 21 games, in better current form and have already played Arsenal twice whilst they haven't played them at all yet. This seems a bit if a self defeating attitude to take given the current situstion
At least you admitted you don't take any joy from watching football so your posts make sense.
Oh nothing. Too bad we won cause we sure as hell won't win the next one or at least the one after the next one.
Surely you understand that if City go on a big run - which I absolutely expect because they have a habit of doing so - after losing to Spurs, that's the worst possible outcome for us? They stay ahead of us after giving three points to a rival.
We'll drop a lot of points from here on, let's hope the others do as well.
What on earth are you rambling about?
Relax.
We lost Casemiro for three games and Eriksen until the end of April, we don't have a reliable and quality centre forward and our attacking play basically relies on Rashford entirely.
Frankly, ETH is performing miracles with all that but keeping it up in the circumstances is a huge ask.
A weekend where we gain point on the top two and finally move ahead of Newcastle while also Liverpool and Chelsea drop points is apparently bad. I thought I’d heard it all before now, but I was wrong.

People are still scarred by some other false dawns, ten Hag's the real deal though.
Running to another thread won't make your posts make any more sense.
But surely they beat our other rivals and we make up the points there?
We have 1 game against the rest of the top 4, the other three have 3 each.
If City don’t go in a run then we have a great chance of catching City. That’s not even including the side who are actually top of the league at the minute playing our rivals as well.
Arsenal are top, Newcastle are fourth while Chelsea are 10th and Liverpool 9th. The problem seems to be you being so steadfast in City going on a run from nowhere instead of thinking maybe it’s not 100 percent nailed on? It doesn’t make any sense to act as if one side of your argument is 100 percent going to happen while other variables are all in the table
Some of you lot are miserable. feck off with the defeatist attitude. feck off with the “City has a habit of putting together a winning run” because they ain’t shit. Watch a different sport if you don’t find joy in a weekend where Arsenal + City + Newcastle + Chelsea + Liverpool dropping points. I mean WTF is wrong with you.
Which was the most recent. Shits going down.
While Citys attack relies on Haaland and Spurs on Kane?
Is Rashford not a forward?
I'll always have your nonsensical posts at least to cheer me up thanks.
"Running."
Enjoy your misery, cheers.
1-1 West Ham
You're trying too hard mate. Cheers.
What do you mean?
The back up you were hoping for might arrive soon. Seems you're being ignored though.
I thought you were a United fan, but you're not, so no problem.
Celtic, no bother mate.
Some good results this weekend, has thrown the Premier league wide open.
