Race for top 4 | Finito.

Except it's usually against the correct Manchester club for the correct position (1st). This season has been such a shite anomaly for us. :(

You want to look up what the word anomaly means.
It's a standard season for you in terms of the league. I.e. not winning it.
The anomaly was the single win from 3 decades.
 
Brighton now only 4 behind Liverpool with a game in hand and I recon Leicester will beat Liverpool tomorrow.

Still have to play Newcastle, City and Villa. It’s a massive ask for them to make up 5 points on us and Newcastle, even assuming they win the game in hand.

Liverpool dropping any more points just seals the deal for us and Newcastle.

Liverpool will win by 2 goals. Leicester are terrible.

Just checked: theyve won 2 games at home since the turn of the year.

City game will likely be played at a walking pace as they will have clinched the title against Chelsea now and will be resting players ahead of FA Cup and CL finals.

If Brighton can beat Newcastle this Thursday they will have a tiny chance as they could cut the gap to 2 points by beating City. However Newcastle will play Leicester and Chelsea next so should probably not drop any points, and they have superior goal difference too so would need to drop 3 points for Brighton to pass them.

That Everton loss is so costly though as they would have had everything in their hands had they won that.
 
I hope Liverpool wins tonight and every game from here on in only to finish 5th on goal difference to Newcastle.
A draw v Brighton and two wins for Newcastle should see that happen

Would be nice if they could do it, but Pep won’t be resting everyone this far out from the finals. They need to stay match fit. Can also see him wanting to beat Brighton with all the hype around their manager.

I'd rather live without the stress, thanks very much. Imagine going into the last game against Fulham having to win. Please, no. Let's put these bastards to bed ASAP and chill out for the rest of the season.

Win our next two and it won't make a diff to us. But yeah, probably going to the last day knowing us.
 
So many people assuming Leicester will get something tonight. And when they get tonked by 3 or 4 goals, they'll shrug it off and be shamelessly back at it, saying the same thing about Villa at the weekend. The hope and delusion is almost admirable.
 
Can we beat Fulham and Bournemouth and an awful Chelsea?
If we cant get six points there then they dont deserve CL football

And feck Liverpool
 
As much as I'd love if Leicester got a result vs Liverpool, think it's highly unlikely. They'll be attacking to try win it but be too poor defensively to get anything out of it 3-1 Liverpool.
 
Sucks that Liverpool are going to win the just 3 games so easily. United have to win at least 2. Cannot afford any slip ups.
 
Also anyone going into rawk meltdown or"I told you so" tirade if Leicester go ahead (highly impossible) and the game is not over, needs to be banned. But we all know that Leicester won't be able to score against the iron defense of Liverpool and will let in about 5 goals minimum. So it's a moot point. :(

:lol: Like clockwork.
 
So, we have to beat Bournemouth and Chelsea now.

Fulham last game of the season, even if it is at home, makes me very nervous
 
I’m telling you now people, been saying it for a while, Liverpool will get 4th on GD.

Liverpool won't get +70 points, so it's the Villa game that has to be a draw..

yep, could get rough and squeaky. Hopefully we pull it off against Bournemouth. Don’t think we lose both our games in the last week.

things aren’t done because pool seem to have all the momentum.

would be good to ride it out if we can
 
I am sort of glad Liverpool are pushing us for the 4th spot. At least when we finish 4th the lame argument of how lucky and easy top 4 race was will die.

The Bournemouth game is the one I’m most dreading. Our away form is awful. If we win that then I think we get top 4. May drop points to Chelsea but think we’ll beat Fulham.
 
Have to beat Bournemouth this week, no excuses. Do that, and I'd feel pretty confident of winning 1 of the last 2. Liverpool may even slip up against Villa and end it then and there.

Not against bottom half sides. If it was our entire away from we would be down there with Chelsea!

Chelsea have City away next. A hammering there should set them up nicely for Utd a few days later.

This. There is no excuse for not beating Bournemouth who play for nothing while we play for CL spot. Bournemouth which even lost at home against Frank Lampard
 
Don't believe Villa will get anything vs Liverpool. Yeah they should be fighting for Europa/Conference League spot but the game being at Anfield their chances will be minimal. And I reckon with how efficient Liverpool are they'll take advantage of that high line from Villa (they played that way at OT, not sure if they usually play that way).

Bournemouth on Saturday will be huge.
