With Ake off, this is going to get ugly.

I thought is was only top 4 CL

5,6,7 EL

so it would be eighth

Pretty sure only one EL spot coming from the league.

Other 2 from domestic cups. But since City won Carabao cup 6th place takes it instead.

I think Frank will look to sign someone like Ndidi in place of Jorginho ^

[Laylabelle 9,534]

If didnt have Wolves and Liverpool be more confident..then again we lose to whoever so doesn't matter how hard or easy a team looks on paper

Bournemouth have been beyond pathetic, like seriously. Is this how you fight for a survival? Well then you can go straight to the beaches, that are very nice at your place. Pathetic.

Was not Eddie Howe wanted by some members on here, like him over Frank?

i am not even sure if we have ever looked as pathetic as bournemouth today. we at least tried some shots and stuff yesterday. bournemouth are an absolute excuse of aside. wish we could play them in that shape all year.

Our hopes now lie with CAS...

not yet

if they drop 2 of their 3 left

and we drop one, win 2 (or win all 3 or 2 wins and a draw)

we are 4th (assuming Manure wins out) as they would have 65 points and we would have 66, 67. or 69

if they draw one, and lose the other 2, then even one win and one draw by us is enough for 4th as they would have 63 points then and we would have 64

if they draw 2 and lose one, then they are on 64 so we would need two draws and a win or 2 wins (the third game for us is meaningless as long as we get 2 wins), as if we are tied on 64, they go through on GD

I REALLY like our chances to get 4th IF 2 things happen

we beat wolves

Leicester loses to SU or Tottenham

as then all we need to do to get to 66 is beat Norwich

and Leicester would need to both a win and a draw from the other two (or two wins)

if we had not blown that NUFC 94th minute draw (so one point dropped) I would REALLY like our chances then as we would be on 67 if we win two of the 3

and Leicester (if they lose to either Spuds or SU)  would have to WIN BOTH of the other 2 (and Manure looms for them)

Ake is gonna be cheap to buy if/when Bournemouth get relegated...

and still too short and not good enough

if Ake as a starting CB is the level of our ambitions, we ARE the new Arse/Spuds

Problem is even if Leicester and/or United drop points, I don't trust us. I don't trust the team to pick up enough points in the remaining 3 games to overhaul them.

Well, he's been linked with Man City and maybe United as well. 

[Atomiswave 6,117]

Looks like we have to rely on SU to beat LC cuz BM aint doing it....

Mourinho will lose against Leicester in purpose to fuck us.

yup thats the game they will win. but they will not win vs Sheffield and Utd.

[Pizy 18,877]

I could see both Mou and Ole playing rotated teams to fuck us over and help Leicester finish 4th at our expense. United will have 3rd sewn up by their match.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

damn solanke is shit. glad we got rid of him. what a terrible player. any striker with just a semi decent control of the ball would have scored there.
