Cheers to your friend, and enjoy! Lately my friends invite me to watch baby photos or bitch about worklplace. Even if recent days the team is painful to watch, still good gig!

 

Please cheer out a win somehow.. City hosts Palace, Forest hosts Everton, Newcastle hosts United. Good chance all 3 of our big rivals would win.

Yeah i would grudge paying these days. Haven't been for a few years last games was the Vialli charity. Just cost and travel cost and then they don't play like they care! Hopefully tommrow we will find out level again 🤣 saying that been with her a few times and not sure if seen a win soooo maybe not haha

Everton takes down Forest! We just need to do our part.

[Vesper 29,473]

we simply MUST win this game or a top 5 EPL finish is in real peril

and we cannot 100 per cent count on beating either Real Betis or Fiorentina in the Conference League final

they are both really solid teams (by far the two best other teams in the whole tournament, despite Betis not playing well in the group stages due to now healed injuries, I said that from the very beginning) and either could deffo defeat us in a one game final

we dodged a bullet not having to play both (they will very likely play each other in the semis)

We are down to 6th, and Newcastle can take over us by winning game behind. Situation is still in our hands, but if we cannot beat Ipswich at home.. Then we don't deserve CL at all.

Now I feel: City finding their form, they will leave us behind and secure 3rd place, but we will keep 4th or 5th place. Forest visiting Spurs next week, Newcastle playing with United and Aston Villa, Villa will visit City then. Some good fixtures for us, we should be in proper position before the last few games.

Teams on our tail have won (Newcastle will probably go all out with the recent Howe situation) while the teams ahead have dropped points. With Thursday's fixture almost a forgone conclusion, we need to field our strongest XI from the start, none of this nonsense of resting players for nothing. 

You can just sense Delap will do something, tho.

Our fixture against Forest on the final day of the season could well be a decider as previously mentioned. We had it in our own hands prior to the CL final but choked. This time, there won't be a backup plan, and with the extra spot certain, finishing outside of the Top 5 would be embarrassing.
