Looking likely that top 5 will be needed for Europe.

[SpeedEFC]

Calm down lads, leave the scramble for the last european spot to the likes of West Brom and the RS. Until it's out of our reach we've got more important things to worry about like finishing at least 4th and going for the FA cup.

Swansea winning 2-0 just now means that Chelsea will need to score at least 3 in the second leg to make it possible for the League Cup EL spot to go to 6th place. Not likely.

The FA Cup would have to be contested in the final by two top five teams for that European spot to go to 6th, again not likely.

Forget 4th, we could be lucky to get into Europe at all...

This is saying Chavski will definetly finish in the top 3. Not on tonights performance.

And they recently put 8 past Villa. One game doesn't make a season.

They'll be 3rd.

They look a completely different team when Ba plays. Very good business there!

If Bradford win the League cup. Do they go to Europe?

They look good going forward, but make a few mistakes at the back. Oh, and Bradford put 3 past Villa as have a few others.

 

[Brennan]

Yes.

Doesn't matter what level you're from, if you win the League Cup you get Europe. Same with the FA Cup.

 

[PITA]

They don't technically have to score 3 they can score two then win on pens.

It's not impossible anyway. We did it.

correct, one game doesn't make a season, just coz they stuck 8 on a piss poor Villa side doesn't mean they will either.

They still have a squad past it's use by date, Ba not withstanding.

And do we actually rate the FSW

 

[Tubey]

I fully expect us to finish in the top five anyway. We're a brilliant side right now and we have been for over a year.

I'd be disappointed with 5th actually. We're pulling out results with our only recognised striker playing like pish; as soon as Jelavic starts scoring we'll be nigh on unstoppable.

No faces leaving this window, expecting one or two in - probs on loan - so we'll be stronger going into the second half of the season after a classy first half.

Onwards and upwards.

Our targets are, in decending order, 3rd, 4th, FA Cup or nothing.

I wouldn't be fussed if we missed out on the Europa Cup, a total dogs breakfast of a comp.

If we do finish 5th we will not only contest the FA Cup Final, we will WIN it, which will then see us in the.....Doh

Also, this ^

 

[witchdoc187]

we'll finish 4th and United will win the champignons league.

 

[Jimboefc97]

What does it matter if we get 5th or higher we get Europe, if we win the FA Cup we get Europe, if we dont then tough, simples. We cant rely on others we just need to finish as high as possible

 

[TheFinnFan]

This seems a bit early to speculate. Lets just play our hearts out and c where it takes us.

 

[Waddy]

I think if we get more points in the prem than some other teams, we will qualify for Europe.

Profound!

It's true though, with a bit of consistency we could finish above Spurs or Arsenal, or both.
