Top 4 Race 19/20 | duffer: "We [Chelsea] are getting 3rd. Despite what the lunatics in here think, Man United are not all that."
- Thread starter Andy_Cole
- Start date
Is what I meant thank you duffer
Battle for top 4 outside top 2 slots seems to be a case of a team tripping over the finish line for a good while now. It's a bit tragic really.
Have some faith guys. I’d have taken this at the start of the season.
I would take that draw right now if it means wolves beat Chelsea!
Please let it happen!! Off to the football gods thread to pay homage!!

Quite. But does home or away make any difference without a crowd?
Personally I think we’d have found a winner against West Ham tonight if we’d had a packed Old Trafford urging the team on. All teams could say a similar thing since lockdown, of course.
Are you so naive really?
These meltdowns and doom mongering are quite sad. Some of you just can't help yourselves.
A solitary point separating United (3rd), Leicester (4th) and Chelsea (5th).
I can't wait for Sunday and all the twists and turns that'll come with it. It's gonna be great fun

The only worry is the fitness. Leicester’s defence is diabolical and they’ve been playing horrendously. But everyone of our players looked tired tonight and Leicester will come out fighting as theyll know how unbelievably lucky they are that they’re still in with a chance with how shit they’ve been.
If our front 3 have even a half decent game, we’ll get top 4

They've been up there most the season, we're on the ropes, can't even beat West Ham at home. Pretty much there for the taking.
If we did our job today, a Chelsea-Wolves draw (which is the most likely result) would've meant our game vs Leicester was elementary. But we didn't. So excuse me if I'm pissed that we couldn't beat lowly West Ham managed by David 'that's what I do win' Moyes.
I suppose you could we’re in a slightly better position than Chelsea because if we lose and they lose we’re in whereas they need a point no matter what.
Still, we’re playing a team who are needing to win to get top 4. The way we’re playing at the moment we may feck it. Especially if we start getting nervous playing for a draw which we obviously will.
We just have to hope Leicester needing a win plays into our hands or hope that Leicester are completely finished even if we are ourselves. A win to guarantee third would be a very promising finish despite the calamity start and past few games.

They're not, we're 3rd, Chelsea are 4th
They were 14 points ahead of us and were nailed on for top 4. Now there's one game left and they're behind us.
They're going to be missing 4 first teamers and they've recently just been battered by Spurs and fecking Bournemouth. If we're on the ropes they're on the canvas and the ref is almost at 10.
We are exceptionally fortunate to finally end a gameweek in third place. Poor performance tonight but could be an important point.
I can think of someone who should've taken out.
BBC are saying Chelsea are back in 3rd on their league table, what am I missing?
edit NVM they fixed it

Kepa conceded 5 easy goals today. De Gea is a prime Lev Yashin in comparison
That the BBC's football coverage is shite
Nothing really.
they've got it wrong. We're third on goal difference.
Prediction: We beat Leicester 4-0
Wolves beat Chelsea 2-0
Lampard breaks down and cries on the pitch like Kanye West
We buy Sancho

Given the team we started with on the first day of the season, I'd have bitten your hand off had you told me we'd heading into the final game of the season in third place. And I dare say I'm not the only one.
think on Sunday, Chelsea will be thanking us for getting them a place in CL.
Doesn't matter. We're not losing against Leicester on Sunday. Their form is worse than ours. It's almost safe.
One match on the TV. One on the iPad. Caf on the phone. Gonna be mental.A solitary point separating United (3rd), Leicester (4th) and Chelsea (5th).

I think Wolves will beat them. It’s Wolves most important game for a generation.
Do Wolves need anything from the Chelsea game?
I hope you're right! I'm not at all confident though.
Draw for us in the last game and loss for Chelsea would be awesome. Leicester deserves also cl.
Yes, if they don't win Spurs could take the EL ticket from them.
Must be. We avoid defeat and we are golden. If we won we still have to avoid defeat
Not the weakest. Previous seasons have been worse. It's just recency bias in your head.
If they want Europa League then I think so yes. Depends how it works out with the cup spots.
So we can realistically finish 3rd, it's in our hands... And there's people still complaining?
I can tell that from your posts!
I know in the last week we've been mostly rubbish and I understand nerves. I'm nervous too, it's a massive game.
I'm just saying don't fall into the trap of thinking we've been rubbish so that must mean Leicester are better. They've made a recent habit of starting games really well and then collapsing.
I'd rather be in our position right now than theirs.
they need to win to get 6th place to confirm EL as Arsenal could win FA cup to take away EL place from the 7th place team.
