Too many clubs with too many ideas in this league. Know your place. Spurs being in the CL is completely pointless.

The arrogance from some to ridicule those who question if we are predestined for top 4. Next game will be huge against Newcastle.

Not really though. They all play each other. Would take an absolute disaster not to do it.

It's not arrogance, you're all just being such miserable cnuts!

fecking support the team and try and be positive, we're still in a great position, much better than I expected to be in at the beginning of the season.

It feels like some of you are just trying to be contrarian, almost like you're relishing the opportunity to say 'I told you so' if we don't manage to make top 4.

challenging on all fronts may kill us for the top 4, really hope not. CL is so important :(

Glad Casemiro is suspended for the next 4 games, at least we're guaranteed to complete them with 11 men and have a better chance of winning.

See, Tottenham are one of the biggest jokers in world football. Top 4 is done.

Thanks for the info. Any reason it wouldn't be played on the Sunday?
It's the semi final of the FA Cup that weekend.

I expect it would already have been moved to the Sunday if they weren't waiting on who plays in that.

It’s not a case of thinking we’re predestined for finishing in the top four. But those that are wanting to put out weaker teams in the FA Cup quarters, for fear of missing of top, are mental.

Top four race will go down to the last couple of weeks. There won’t be more than 6 points in it. Newcastle and spurs will both drop a hell of a lot of points before the end of the season.

I just don't think there will be 2 others who will be more consistent then us in the last 3rd of the season. Good chance Newcastle beats us, but even still I'd be confident on 3rd. They'd go above us on goal difference and then I think they'd drop in other games. Spurs are behind us but have played 2 games more. Liverpool is too far behind us. I'm just not too worried ultimately, though we can't afford slip ups like the Southampton draw.

Aslong as Liverpool don’t finish in it and we do then I’m happy.

Get a life? What are you 13 years old? I remember little kids saying that back in secondary school. if you disagree, there's a lot of ways of saying it...
I stand by everything I said. Accusing someone of being a child seems to be the go to reaction of people who lack imagination, so I'm not surprised that was your go to response.

Stop being a miserable old feck and enjoy the fact we might win more trophies this season. If we don't make top 4 then life goes on. I doubt it would affect our summer transfers anyway as it looks like the Qatari's are buying the club.

You don't need to be the 10,000th person to post how still being in 3 competitions worries you. What are they meant to do? Lose on purpose?

Just try and cheer the feck up and enjoy the fact we're not complete shite at the moment.

This is a weird view and will never not be. I want us to win the lot, you can’t do that without a bit of risk and strain. The horrible modern obsession with the top 4 trophy over actual trophies baffles me. Qualifying for the CL is important, but winning the EL and FA Cup and then an unfortunate slip into 5th for example? Go on then.

How is that a question?? Why would anyone choose top 4?
Exactly. However if the question was 1 more trophy or top 4 then it would be different matter. Depending on what the other trophy is. Don’t think people would choose fa cup over top 4. However winning the Europa league gets us the same as finishing top 4 plus a trophy…

Firstly relax and calm down, you seem to have some kind of anger issues for a very basic statement suggesting that competing in all fronts will be challenge and could hinder us. As I suggested in the first post, I hope it doesn't.

Secondly, relax again. Can't be asked to deal with posters who stand by silly posts like 'get a life'. You disagree in a mature way or don't bother at all.

it's not a weird view at all, considering we got a lot of games and casemiro isn't playing either. We have a light squad. I do want us to win the lot, I merely suggested that it may hinder us. VAR was the goat today.

It's a daft question that should be asked after we win it, because anything can happen in a final. And I'm sure ETH will see the EL as a consolation prize because it's never a good thing to lose so much form in the league that we drop out of top 4. He's trying to cultivate a winning mentality in order to win the title.

Am I blind or are Liverpool not playing this weekend?
They were meant to be playing Fulham but they're in the FA Cup so it was postponed.

I like it because it means they go into the international break on the back of two defeats and then their first game back is away to City.

They were due to play Fulham but we're playing them in the FA Cup tomorrow
Ah ffs totally forgot Fulham were in the pl again for a minute and could only see us and City and was wondering why Liverpool got a week off
