Makes it even more likely that Man U will not be able to finish 4th, so might help us slightly.
Need Man City to beat them tomorrow.
Hopefully Arsenal to win too- as Brighton have to go there last but 1 game
Saturday is absolutely massive now.
Also next week our game v Palace is a day before Brighton’s at Arsenal.
Wins in either of those games will put the pressure on.
Such fun
I’m pretty confident BHA will not get many points from their remaining games. Maybe only one more point from the Newcastle game.
I think the tough part will be us getting the six points we’ll probably need. If we need 7 points I think it’ll be a huge ask.
That's because realistically 1 point for them will keep them up, their best chance of that is to just park the bus and get a 0-0.
As it stands we need 4 points (a win and a draw) to go above them, if they get 1 more point that means we need to win 2 of our last 3 games to go above them, that's a tough ask and mounts the pressure on us. Yes it's negative, but it's all about money now, not entertainment.
I know some have been disappointed this season for whatever reason. But looking at the start of the season I'd have been more than happy with us having a chance at survival with 3 matches left.
Everyone loves to call things far too early. Even in a league as predictable as the the epl, there are lots of erratic results. According to many we were relegated at the start of the season; and I'm pretty sure I've seen people saying 'that's us done' after most of our defeats in the last few months, plus any other results that go against us. In recent weeks even, the only teams we are able to catch have been Burnley, Southampton and now Brighton.
we will likely be relegated, but it is far from certain now and it was absolutely not the case after the Huddersfield, Watford, Everton, Chelsea or Burnley matches. I understand why people thought our season was over after each of those games, but it was not and it looks likely that if we do go down, it will happen only on the last day of the season. That will still be a big disappointment (after all we were a very good team last season) but right now, we are still very much in the fight.
We still have a good chance of staying up, I would say about 40%, as above who knows what will happen even if Brighton lose and we win, we could still lose the remaining games?
We will just have to take every game as it comes and see what happens?
Arsenal will probably rest players before the Europa games...think if they don't win tonight they'll give up on 4th place ..Come on the Gunners..beat the Wankies
palace at home is more difficult than Fulham. Just look at Palace’s away record plus they’ll get a penalty NQAT.
I disagree. Need United to best City so City have to go to Brighton to get a result.
Echoes maybe of that magic Tony Villars moment back in the early 70's
