Chelski / Saints

Post by No Ney Never » Sun Apr 22, 2018 7:29 am

Here's hoping that the next hurdle to our dreams of Europe is overcome this afternoon. Burnley and chelski wins today should pretty much secure it.
I suppose it's UTC on both accounts.

Letting Chelsea win on Thursday to give them confidence for today was another stroke of Dyche genius.

A friend mentioned the following a few days ago, and neither of us knew the answer, but would Southampton qualify instead of us as runner up in the event they win today then lose against United (as United will qualify for the CL) ?

Saints are 13/2 to win; you can bung a few quid on that so, at least, you get some recompense if the unlikely happens and we have to bite our nails through the final.

That used to be true but then someone decided that a European place should only be given to teams who win something, so they gave it to 7th place.

We let Chelsea play better on Thursday, stood off them too much and tactically naive IMO.

Decent shot from Redmond. Saved by Caballero.

Random fact of the day: Caballero means 'gentleman' in Spanish.

Edit - That technically makes his name 'Willy Gentleman'.

Well that’s it, seventh officially qualifies for the Europa League and nothing can change that. Four points needed!
