PL Games May 16 - 20

Forest 1-0 at Hammers, could we be 7th tonight?

6th on GD albeit with a game in hand. Beat Bournemouth and we are guaranteed CL spot as Chelsea visit Forest last game

Bournemouth is no gimme Pep seems obsessed that KDB has to play. I'd prefer he had a walk- on after we've put the game safe but doubt Pep will do that

Absolutely Bournemouth isn’t a gimme. Far from it. But a great part of our psyche over the last decade has been when we’ve had a setback we usually come out firing next up. I know that hasn’t always happened this season but I’d back us at home against a team with little riding on the result for them to get the result.

And I’m crossing a lot of things as I’m typing

We'd still need a point or it could be dippers, arse, Newcastle, Villa and Chelsea

You’re correct
My bad.

Forest beating West Ham was the first decent result this weekend.

Forest at home to Chelsea last game.

Still very much in our hands, a win at home to Bournemouth still might be enough for us

If we fail to Qualify it is because we were not good enough. So i am cool with it. Plus failure to qualify might speed up Pep departure. Him being unable to attract top targets that now prefer Arsenal/Liverpool etc.

That is the only positive for me. The entire set up at the Club has become unprofessional lazy and complacent. Too many people are saying this now, Coaching Staff nothing more than Pep buddies, set piece coach non existent. Player fitness coach also. We need a good clear out of dead Wood and bring in the best coaches. Manager became too big for the Club. This is going to happen anyway when he is gone, the sooner the better for me. We support City not the Manager.

Forest would need to beat chavs by 11

Arse just gone 1 up

Good result for us that. We just need to beat Bournemouth and we could draw against Fulham with our goal difference (or Villa's poor GD)

Game on Tuesday is bigger than any Cup Final for us. Not winning could cost the Club £100 000 000.

I don't want to see KDB, or Haaland, in the starting line up.

I want us to revert to what was working before Pep shoe horned a clearly still unfit Haaland and Akanji back in to the side. That is our best chance of success against another side that will play the low block, and expect us to play just like we did against Southampton and Crystal Palace.

KDB deserves no place in Tuesday team he is both fat, and past it, sorry Kev you have lost it completely. It is sad watching how shit you have become. Not sure what the Club dietician is doing, or if we even have one, or one of Pep in laws masquerading as one. He is only 33 but looks and plays like he is 43,fitness looks a big problem.

Can Pep pick the best staring 11 to get a result, or will his Ego dictate he has to do something outside the Box to make any win all about his greatness.

Sad that any chance of a result these days depends on what frame of mind the Manager is in before kick off.

You can see the team sheet before a game you know what to expect.

Haaland ,Kdb,Akanji start it will be a long night, likely a defeat. Or if we are lucky and 86th minute winner after he puts right what he should have started with after the Subs on 85 minutes.
