Can we finish in the top half?
|
|
A win at Watford, will mean a top 10 finish. Will we manage it and is it worth fighting for?

We might do.
We might not.
These threads crack me up.

Yes it is entirely possible. But who really gives a shit?

Tips.
It will be interesting to see what team he picks and how much they’ve already clocked off. These games normally go well for the home team when there’s nothing riding on it.

I think we'll win, Watford will have their minds on the cup final

I reckon picking up almost £2 mil is worth giving it a nudge.
9th....... £23.1m
10th....... £21.1m
11th....... £19.2m

We won't get 9th as Chelsea have fuck all to play for now at Leicester. A point for them ensures they finish above us.
I would like us to finish strongly with 3 wins on the spin which a win would give us (would be talking about 5 on the spin if not for shit officials). Watford should have their minds elsewhere so as good an opportunity as any.

I doubt it.Obvouly we'd all rather us finish up in the top half but after fucking up finishing 7th which wasn't looking beyond the realms of reality a month or so ago it makes very little difference apart from a couple of million quid wich is fuck all nowadays in the premiership.

Bruno,
A valid point.
My point is how hungry are our players?
It's not just our players who lack any ambition to finish 7th as most players don't relish the thought of cutting short their holidays to compete in the early stages of the Europa cup.
It means a lot to loads of us though.considering the chance of West Ham ever competing in the champions league is nothing more than a pipe dream for now.

Yes, play off for 10th
Winners get:
Top half table finish
2m
Will that motivate our players, who to be fair have been putting in good performances.
It is sad we are not 7th, it was there to take.
Bruno, is right we should have 5-8 more points. Leicester, 2 points dropped due to disallow goal that was not off side. Liverpool, 2 points dropped due to an off side goal that stood. Man U 1 or 3 points dropped due to 2 soft penalties, Man City, 1 point dropped due to soft penalty.
On the other hand, I expected wins against Cardiff, Bournemouth and Burnley. Also if we want to be 7th above the teams around us, we should be beating them and in the “push” for 7th lost to Everton, Watford and Wolves...
Maybe we are where we should be and need to do better next year...

Bloody hell Tips; you’re still alive then!
I actually think we could win at Watford. They’ve nothing to play for either in terms of the league, especially as they’ll have their minds firmly set on the cup final. We need a point to secure even 11th with Palace on our tail. I’m plumping for a win, oh, we also owe them one after our appalling Display against them st home.

We’ve had nothing to play for for months, but the last few games at least have showed that we’ve got a bit of fire, even for dead rubbers.
It’s a good sign for next year, I reckon.

Without sounding pessimistic we can still finish 12th, BEHIND PALACE, can’t we? Fuck that

Re: Can we finish in the top half?

I might be being pessimistic, but I have a feeling that the players will put in a half arsed performance against Watford and lose, Palace will beat Bournemouth, and we will once again finish below them. If that happens that will piss me off and stink out the season.
Watford will want to win their last home game of the season and are playing for places in the cup final.
I’m often wrong though so hopefully that is the case this time.

Yes we can of course because it's in our own hands completely.
Trouble is how many times just this season have we been able to go seventh etc by beating a team around us and simply just not shown up?
3 or 4 times I think. So don't expect too much. For me winning this changes the season to a decent one from another sub par one.

I don't think I could take another defeat by that Astra Fireworks team so it was good we didn't qualify for the Europa qualifying rounds.

Why do Watford have nothing to play for but we do?
Bizarre logic.
Will be a tough game
