You know that they still have a game in hand?
Moyesy for the job then. Donât see wolves , bournemouth doing any favours
Those defeats to Bournemouth and forest will cost us top 4.
In their last 15 available pointd they have dropped 5, so not inconceivable. Especially woth Shaw and Lindelof at CB.

Anyway , will keep my hopes up. If Man Utd replicate their form of their last 5 games which includes one draw and one defeat and we win our 4 games. We are in with a chance when it comes to the final day of the season.
They havenât theyâve got very easy games frankly.
Also Villa.
Not easy at all.

Itâs 5 dropped from their last 9. But that was also the tough run prior to going into a much more comfortable run in. That run in is comfortable enough that itâs just difficult to see where the points will dropped.
There are a couple of narratives you can raise to say why any of these remaining games might be challenging, but if they beat Fulham, Wolves and Chelsea at home then they have made it even without having to pick up anything away to West Ham or Bournmouth.
The west ham game is key, as losing that could cause panic to set in.

I think they are both looking a bit fatigued so they need to use their $85m CB

Would be great for Fwank to break his duck against them

Epic implosion under way for both Sandcastle and this lucky, media and ref-favored lot
Who will drop enough points to end up 5th?
Dropping more points against West Ham is essential. Beyond the psychological effects I just dont see the maths being possible if they get a win there.
Câmon Moyesey, lad.

I wouldnât mind getting just the Europa league this season. It will be a relative failure by the clubâs standards but thats one trophy that Jurgen has yet to win.
Obviously the preference is to still sneak by and pip United but we still have unfinished biz with the Europa

The biggest issue is the potential away trips it throws up. You can get a nasty midweek trip to an eastern european club in the CL, but due to the difference in seeding you can get a whole group of them in this tournament. There as one group this past year with side from Turkey, Ukraine and Cyprus. There was another with trips to Hungary, Serbia and Turkey.

Again true. But the loss where we were robbed vs Sevilla in the first half and morenoâd in the second half still gets me.

It was like 2 or 3 penalties denied ?
Distinctly remember a Sevilla player sweeping at the ball and not getting a penalty⌠And some more as well.
That game we were robbed.
Iâd send our squad if that somehow happened.
I actually think it would be rather beneficial for the squad rebuild and if Iâm bluntly honest itâs better than no European football, that wonât help attract players, at the moment it looks like a blip.
I think Iâm right in saying, to win the Europa League, itâs 19 games, compared to 13 for the Champions League. Thatâs like another half of a Premier League season. Add to that, having to play on a Thursday and then domestic games moved to a Sunday and it does make winning the Premier League more difficult.
