Nice one. Throwing £20 of that on Watford or draw double chance?
I wonder what the over 1.5 goals for Bournemouth odds were. Would have paid out well I think.
Top 4 Race 19/20 | duffer: "We [Chelsea] are getting 3rd. Despite what the lunatics in here think, Man United are not all that."

You realize we could win out and still not make it?
Therefore the schedule and squad don't matter. Go shit stir somewhere else.
Yeah, not good but definitely think they will slip up at some point, even against lower teams.
Hoping Arsenal get a point at Wolves now and beat Leicester, would be perfect.
Just need the hornets to sting Chelsea all over too!
Sorry but it’s true. Nine games unbeaten in the league. A good record against the top teams and Pogba- Bruno combo working well. You have to be making 4th.
I reckon top four Will be
Klopp
Guardiola
Ole
Lampard
And fighting for EL spot
Arteta
Mourinho
Rodgers
Nunos

Agreed but if we win all our games and don't the statement doesn't apply surely (no matter how unlikely that is).
I think LC will miss top4 only due to having a slightly more difficult schedule than Chelsea on paper.
Wolves falter.
Are Arsenal a outside bet for top 5..or too far behind still do we think
They left it too late and their attack is trash.
Wolves were the big threat imo and now they are in disarray that's great news.
What a time for Arsenal to start being in good form. Their next game is Leicester.
5 points off with 5 games left. 3 of which are against Leicester, Spurs and Liverpool.
5 points off the pace with Leicester, Spurs & Liverpool their next 3 games
Great result for us, especially if it gives Arse the momentum to beat Leicester next match.
Yeah the Arse looked good from the bit I saw.
The top 4 race is hotting up nicely.

Bit too far behind, but they're playing Leicester at the perfect time from our point of view as there are enough games left that they'll think they've got a shot at fifth so will be doing their best, while Leicester's form has been dogshit since the restart, only beating a Crystal Palace with Sakho at CB and Benteke up front.
If only Watford now do a job for us 
We did a favour for them this afternoon, now it’s their turn to return it

Good win but not a good day for our top 4 hopes with Leicester's 3-0 victory unfortunately.
Wolves losing is good for us.
Arsenal are way too far back to challenge.
Can’t have it all, i don’t think Chelsea will win either.....
It was a fine day, a home game we had to win and one of the few remaining games that we expected Leicester to win. Wolves getting beat is also good news.
Bad days will be Leicester beating Spurs or Arsenal in their remaining games or us dropping points in winnable games.
This guy is trying to jinx us
It'd be almost Wenger-esque skills of keeping a dreadful team in the champions league if they squeeze in
I'm just pointing things out. The results in the last week have been fantastic haven't they? Watford is holding their own too.
Now you’re trying to jinx Watford.
It was okay, but Leicester were less likely to beat Palace (especially by 3 goals) than we were to beat Bournemouth. So far today (pending Chelsea result) hasn't improved our chances. Wolves result is good for 5th.
Feck you now
Go away
Yeah, I think Utd have got the top four in the bag. Reckon you lot are in with a good shout for third actually.
You mean our defence, right?
Top 4 is a bonus as far as I'm concerned. I just want to see a run of good consistent performances so we know we've really turned a corner.
Looks like Wolves losing will be our only help for top 4 this week but another good confidence building win. Need Arsenal to shithouse another win against Leicester and then feck off. Hopefully Sheffield United are well and truly back in form as they have all of our top 4 rivals left to play.
Yes.
I think we can really get into Leicester’s head if we beat villa and the arse beat them.
Yep. Agree with this
By the end of the week, I think all 3 teams will be level on points.
Was hoping one of Leicester and Chelsea would drop points today, but both seem to be winning comfortably. army getting back into the goals complicates things for us abit.
I think it will go the the wire, which I don't mind, as I think our team needs such pressure to be properly wired. Anyways, we'll know very soon if top 5 is good enough, and then we also have a very winnable Europa League as last chance saloon. Am very confident we can make top 4, and it will be alot of cup final type tension and good fun along the way.
Compare that to Liverpool and City fans, for whom the league games are now just dead rubbers.

If we can get to that position before the final 2 games, Im very confident our momentum and self belief gets us over the line.
Then ideally we all get UCL as city banned.
I’m gassed lads, I feel like we can do this. It could very well come down to the final game of the season vs Leicester though.
i just don’t have confidence / want to rely on City getting banned.

What a simplistic way you view football. Totally missing the intricacies and detail but interesting.
