Just 1 PPG (relegation form) gets us to 59 points whixh will typically see you finish 7th or 8th over last 10 seasons.
1.5 PPG gets us to 67 points which could well be enough for 5th.
We’ve put ourselves in a superb position, a couple of signings and Danilo / Sangare hopefully able to help we give ourselves a great chance of 5th position
And 8th will be enough for Europe as long as:
- England gets a 5th Champions League place (currently over 95% chance)
- Spurs don't win the Carabao Cup
- Someone in the top 6 wins the FA Cup
Then 1-5 would get Champions League, 6 and 7 Europa League and 8 Conference League.
I think we can guarantee that in bold ^^
Lets just win the FA Cup and be done with it.

Why? They're a goal up after the first leg of the semi-final and potentially could face Newcastle in a final, who themselves are 2 goals up. I'd say they've got a very good chance of winning that competition. With their current form I wouldn't have them as favourites but they've got a shot.

It is just a bit of a stand up joke isn't it that Spurs never win anything.
Plus their current form is shocking.
But you never know.

These next 4 games are what it's all about.
If we even win 1 or 2 of them we are going to be in a seriously strong position going into the easier run in.
Not quite a free hit but such a big opportunity. Will be tense but also exciting. Early thoughts are if we could avoid defeat vs Newcastle and city as a minimum that'd be great. That Newcastle game is a proper 6 pointer.

Newcastle are really starting to falter too, nothing to fear from them.

After a long excellent run they lost to Bournemouth, won the next one then lost to Fulham…

I don't think Arsenal will be overly excited about coming to the City Ground. Hopefully Saka is still out.

We can't delete the thread pal.
We all know teams play one game at a time but we can talk about groups of games together.
Saka out until March 8th

The next four games are a difficult run but after that we'll only have Chelsea and Villa left to play of the teams challenging for Europe. They'll all be taking points off each other and hopefully Liverpool will beat them all too.

I get the logic Zico but it is impossible.
I am already imagining last day of the season Forest - Chelsea winner takes all for a CL spot.
