Would be happy with a draw. Then beat Southampton on Thursday.

It's definitely going to be attractive for players coming from Europe, Footballers are career focused and will be conscious how playing in Europe will raise their profile.

That said, I dont think it is worth the trade-off; the PL is a slog & stats back up the argument that it's circa a 10 point handicap on your PL season. For perspective, only twice a team competing in the Europa league has managed to finish top 4, although Man United might do it this year.

For me the benefit of Carlo coaching this squad Monday - Friday next season will be priceless and an opportunity that mightened come around again

I'm interested in seeing these stats, as I suspect they're bollocks.

You just know with the door left ajar from Wolves losing and all the teams fighting for 6th bunched together (if we win this game that is) that we will conspire to Everton it up. It has the exact same feeling as before the Arsenal and Chelsea away games.

I hope it's a different outcome but I wouldn't get our hopes up too much.

I think you'll find our defence is a bit more savvy now. I can't see anything less than a draw but expect a win.

'Happy'? I'm never happy unless we win.

Agree.

I think we would have a much clearer picture as to whether Europa is on or not if we can get another 4 points from these two games. 6 would be fantastic and give us a great chance.

I think he means reluctantly happy, as in, satisfied 'enough' considering.

Yes, I realise that, but I haven't taken my anti-pedant pills today

Been far to long since we put one over on these.

Strange this, why?

I honestly reckon its because we are in the weird bracket of being the "almost" club. I think top 6 teams still have a perception that we will be tough to beat so always put in a performance. Whereas clubs like Norwich or Bournemouth are seen as small clubs so better teams often get caught out, especially at home.

Arsenal and Chelsea have lost to some awful teams at home over the last few years yet they always turn up against us. Liverpool always turn up against us yet teams like Swansea and Bournemouth have won at the pit.

I would play all 3 centre halves tonight and move Holgate up to strengthen the midfield and to improve the forward passing.

It’s a must win for us which means we will lose no matter what the respective form of the two sides is going into the game.

That is a very good shout mate

I think he meant why didn't the win against Moyes United count....
