Its officially OFF, great season though

[wbn61]

we were in contention. all we needed to do was get the points like arsenal did.

It isn't off, but it is close to that. If Arsenal wins on Monday, it's off then.

City were about 8 points off the league in 2012 going into the last leg of the season, won it on the final day. By your logic they were never in the title race.

I'm sure they had spent more than a single week being placed at the top of the table, prior to becoming 8 points adrift. They were also capable of bridging that 8 point gap so that they ended up winning the league.

Everton are not going to win their last two games, and they will end up finishing the season a good 7 points off fourth. Again, people are entitled to consider that as 'contending' for fourth place, but in reality it is miles off.

Jesus but some of the comments here are laughable.. Never in contention. Lol

Being fourth for a week and then finishing 8 points off qualification, we were so damn close.

Can't hide from the fact is disappointing. But if anyone had told me under Martinez we would be in for a shout of champions league football with 3 games to go, I would have snapped their hands off. I like many on here would have been happy with a top 8 finish, in return for a more attractive style of football, at the beginning of the season. What do we get? A record points total, a double of united and a return to attractive football, which has resulted in going to the game, to be a positive experience again.
Unfortunately we have not seized the chance we had to get to the promised land (champions league) and what has made it doubly disappointing is the RS seized their chance to bag a title. Every year we look for improvement and we certainly got it this year. Cruel injuries at the wrong times of the season have seriously weakened us and our chances of bagging fourth. However I am sure Roberto will know exactly what we need for next season and the players he wants to progress us further as a club and a team.

If you're that certain why not put all your money on it at the bookies ?

Anyone else apprehensive about Europa League? If Spurs and United win their remaining games and we lose ours, we could miss out Ridiculous scenario but it's Everton ...... lol

I think even if we lost to city, we could beat hull. I fully expect us to still finish 5th, if not 4th.

Yeah, plus Hull will probably be safe and may rest a few players for the F.A Cup Final.

 

[when i score we riot]

Arsenal could still lose against the barcodes, though.

You're right mate. City are getting spanked aswell lol

 

[neil999]

Arsenal started getting players back we had players getting injured, that's been the difference IMO
