Think people are exaggerating how much of an effect the kick off time will have like.

People are driving themselves mad in here. Watch the games play, shout your lungs out to help get the right result. That's all that really matters. Stattos still think we're significantly more likely to qualify than Chelsea, Forest and Villa, and we only need to beat two of them.

It’s not energy 😂 talking in a forum isn’t anything to do with supporting the team in the stadium. My opinion is the game on Sunday is 100% must win.

Think if we draw to Chelsea this weekend it's not completely over. But we'd need to get 4 points from arsenal away and everton at home, so most likely draw to arsenal away which will be difficult then beat everton at home, could be doable if we just go hard on defense maybe, especially if they are being careful not to injure anyone for the CL matches. Could really do with arsenal beating l pool this weekend and securing CL football before playing us, but it's at anfield and I reckon this is one of the few games l pool will take seriously. Wed also need villa to not win all of their 3 remaining games in this scenario.

Wow that's classless.

In retrospect it's unreal how angry that made me.

Just seen Inzaghi's Pisa have been promoted to Serie A for the first time in 34 years. Also Sampdoria in real danger of dropping down into Serie C.

I like the thinking, although we'd be lacking a lot of physicality in the centre if so. He's never going to be the tallest or quickest. He's more of a Bruno stand in, in fact.

Haven't watched this, but saw an interview with him a couple of years ago which was very similar. Said the same things about us being relegated soon after etc. etc. Dunno if it's dementia or he's told the same self comforting lies so many times he actually appears to believe them.

We always needed to beat Chelsea. That’s been obvious for some time. Only way we beat Arsenal is if they are in the CL final imo. IMO the point at the Amex was a bonus. it’s an extra blanket against Villa.

And all of this too.

Exactly.

Nah. Either Forest dropping points at West Ham or Chelsea v ManU gives us a decent chance without beating Arsenal. We may no longer be favourites but would be silly to think it’s over. Hope this sort of energy isn’t in the crowd on Sunday.

I think if we draw to Chelsea, it could be smart to go full defensive (which we never normally do) against Arsenal so as to just not get our goal difference down too much, then look to thrash Everton. It could genuinely come down to goal difference between us and Chelsea if we draw to them this weekend. Cept to be honest I reckon we are much better to just doing what we do best and just having a go at it.

If we could get Tomori for £20M he'd be a good signing. Still convinced Guehi will end up at Liverpool this summer.

Win both our home games and we are in the Champions League. Simple

Just heard that interview by Olley, sounds like an absolute shit show. Such a shame as the players and staff have done brilliantly over the last 3 years really.

Disagree, I think it's important we don't get beat above all else. There's every chance Villa and Forest stumble as well. Ideally we beat Chelsea, but a draw wouldn't be a disaster, if we draw against Arsenal as well then beat Everton, that might well be enough to see us through.

Aye it’s definitely not likely to happen. Would love us to go into that last game with it all sealed, cannot cope with the stress of that Leicester game the other season. Thought they’d won it late on.

Agree re how slow and useless Paddy Power are, Nketiah was fouled to win this on about 86 mins (Mateta already won 1 before he was replaced) and yet they were still offering me about £6 cash out for the duration of the 10+ mins extra time before eventually settling it afterwards.

69 guaranteees it. There is a scenario that 68 isn't enough.

The draw scenario gets weird as it comes down to our gd vs Chelsea. If we're assuming Chelsea get a draw, a win and a loss in this, and we get the same and we're currently on the same gd it comes down to how many goals we beat them by, how many goals we lose to arsenal by, and how many goals Chelsea beat man u by. Admittedly I can see that going more Chelsea's way than us. Chelsea could probably thrash man u, and we are capable of getting thrashed by arsenal.

Someone on Reddit has created this.

If we draw on Sunday I thinks its all over for us unless we beat Arsenal and Everton.

68 is the magic number
