Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [10th - 12th February 2024]

You're concerning yourself with the sides behind you, thinking about the possibility of finishing outside the top 4 rather than looking up.
I’m being realistic. I’d love to win the league but in reality, the chances of doing that ahead of Liverpool and City are very slim. I just look at all angles of where we can finish
 
That will do considering the injury to Martinez. We have all winnable games until he comes back with the exception of City.

Also of our really big games. Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle are all at home. The away game to City will be the big one. I hope we can at least get a draw to give Arsenal a chance of winning the league. Our run in is really favourable tbh.

I love it when Sky get all their staff and pundits to act like they’re really into NHL come superbowl time

Keane maybe, but can’t see Merse being a big fan myself. Rules far too complicated for him.

Yes, Spurs would have preferred a Villa win which would have seen them drop down into 5th place, 2 points behind 4th rather than being 4th, a point ahead of 5th.

Villa are struggling a bit at the moment and United are on a bit of a run. Ultimately I would still not put any money on Villa finishing above United come the end of the season. If I was Spurs I would probably want a draw more than anything.

A draw maybe I could have understood but with Utd still effectively (thanks to your GD) 7 points behind Spurs, it's some stretch to say Spurs would have preferred a Villa win when it would have literally resulted in Spurs dropping out of the CL spots.

A Villa win today and the narrative isn't 'Villa are struggling a bit' but instead what a great job Emery is doing and how they're in a great position to pinch a CL spot. Barring a drop off from Spurs then the top 4 is probably going to be the top 4 come the end of the season. Utd aren't playing well enough to fancy them to go on a run to bridge that gap to Spurs and Villa probably rely too much on Watkins. Realistically Utd and Villa are going to need to hope that the PL sides in Europe do well enough to secure the League a 5th spot for next season.
 
First away win for ten hag against a top 9 side right?

Yeah, something silly like -27 goal difference as well :eek:

I see you think Spurs managed to shed their Spursiness when they sold Kane. I still think there will be some changes in the top 4 before the end of the season.
