Premier League 2019/20: The race for Europe

[GoonerJay24]

Even if we somehow beat Wolves and Southampton away (I can’t see both happening), and lose to Pool, City and Sp**s, and win all other games... that’s only 59 points for us (bear in mind Leicester are on 50 points with 11 games to play). I doubt 59 points is enough for top 4. Especially not enough to beat Leicester for third. The form you’re asking us to go on to get there between now and the end of the season is title winning form and our squad’s not capable of that. We can even have draws in games we’re expecting to win. Don’t set yourselves up for disappointment, top 4 won’t happen.

I think fourth and certainly fifth is possible but not third

Clawing back 7 points on Chelsea isn't beyond the realms of possibility but we also have to claw back the points advantage United, Sp**s, Sheff Utd and Wolves and leapfrog them too which is another story.

Sp**s I'm not so worried about with Kane and Son missing and Mourinho in charge. I could see Chelsea running out of steam, also Wolves if they do well in Europa as they have a small squad. Sheff Utd could go the distance as they only have the league to concentrate on, we've seen the huge advantage that gave Leicester and Chelsea in the past few years. United are my biggest concern, they seem to be hitting a bit of form.

All this considered I think we need almost perfection in our last 11 games, probably can afford to drop points in 2-3 games at most.

5th on the other hand is much more plausible. So much depends on City and their ban appeal.

 

[Rimaal]

I doubt we\ll do it. All my eggs are in the EL basket.

 

[Brett]

Yup don't do this to yourself guys. Yes we have improved but be ready for no champions league next year; and a turbulent summer with Auba saga. We need to back Arteta big time this summer. As far as this season goes just enjoy it as it comes.

 

[Manberg]

If only we can know for certain whether or not 5th will give CL.

 

[Trilly]

Harsh to blame Freddie...he was just here for so long, because baldy wouldn't let Arteta leave until after we played City.

I'm not blaming him, but ultimately he was useless.

Some of his decisions were hilariously bad as well.

 

[GeorgiaGunner]

So now our best shot at sneaking into the CL is UEFA’s lawyers. Awesome.

 

[Rex Stone]

Know how this will end already. Go on a run and lead by one or two points after 37 games.

Then Deeney scores a 90th minute winner at home against us final day and we drop out.

 

[Macho]

This has been the worst season I think I’ve witnessed in my lifetime? Or that I can fully comprehend anyways.

Beyond gutted.

Beyond gutted.

Its our worst season for long time so yeah you not worng.

 

[Sniper Mik]

Season over. Can't catch Chelsea. City will stall the ban.

 

[DanDare]

If only we can know for certain whether or not 5th will give CL.

For certain it won't. We won't finish 5th anyway.

Well be playing one game a week for the rest of this and next season.

Beyond gutted.

Longest season ever so far, that Watford collapse seems like years ago.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

For the fixtures that remaing i can see us finish 7th or 6th cant see us beating Leicester Man city Sp**s and Liverpool. meaning europa league at best.

 

[Ashybashy86]

This season has the potential to be the worst in recent history if Liverpool go unbeaten. And I don't think we will play in Europe at all next season.

 

[GDeep™]

Missing out totally on Europe will let us play one game a week next season which isn’t a bad platform for a new manager.

Probably impacts the level of player we can attract though.

Club is in a great decline, I did predict it though, a return to 6-8 after Wenger.

 

[boonthegoon]

Hope we go on 1 of those top 4 runs like under Wenger after getting spanked by Bayern in CL

 

[Pepes blue pill]

Whatever happens I'm not too fussed, if we make the European spots great but if not we only play twice a week next season n would need to take advantage of that

 

[14Henry]

Better off with a season out of that Europa league. We dont have the balls nor talent to win the competition and it's just a distraction. Better of with one game a week and kick on from there.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Hopefully CAS does not act like useless ***** and let City stall on the European ban, actually think we have a chance on fifth! No more messing aroung though, boys. Looking at you, Mesut. Looking at you, Bellerin.
