Im not sure it says tenth is possible - it does say *ten teams*. Could be wrong. The only viable ninth one needs Palace to finish top 7, which is v unlikely. The extra CL place that could happen doesn’t bump the places down to ninth as I thought.

Last season ended with 23 points between 7th and 16th. As it stands with 3 games to go, it’s now 9.

Arsenal, Palace and Forest irrelevant. Man City win FA Cup or Chelsea win it AND finish top 7 (or 8 if below occurs), and a second Europa place goes to league. Villa win Europa AND finish 5th (specifically), 6CL place gets added to league, knocking Europa and Conf places down a position. Both those things happen and it’s top 9 in Europe. edit: oh I’m wrong about last bit according to @Maggiesabove - we lose a Europa?

Even if we did break character and win the last three games, is 54 points enough for top 8? I don’t think so. Maybe just about top 9 if it goes to that. Bless Bruno’s heart aiming for it.

Are Villa fans raging? I would be to pass up on such an opportunity, regardless of how important the points are to them

How will us playing kids v Fulham help?

It was much better at the mackems before they moved us up a height. You want to be with the players celebrating (not that there’d have been much opportunity since the move anyway…). L7 is a good novelty for the view, but generally you want to be close I’d say. edit: what LFEE said

Villa should get a points deduction for this. They’re going against what the whole league wants.

Don’t be pricks Villa

Just had to stay one more year for both our benefits', and Liverpool's probably too. Prick.

lol. Had a feeling this game could be his big moment.

I support Eddie Howe FC, not Newcastle United, so I’m quite disappointed Newcastle won.

Can we get a NETDometer

Shortest relegation battle ever

E I E I E I O fucin helll, could only listen, that was stressful

I don’t think Eddie would involve him if that was the case

So fitting. We don’t normally have a two goal lead though…let’s see.

The fact he’s back make me think he really was injured. He must be pretty fucked off with all the accusations after the recent shit around his illness too.

But it’s fewer points, so I’m not sure it is. Also anyway he said the key was that we’re mathematically at risk therefore in the battle.

👀

You must agree we are also in the battle for a European place then?

We were never hanging on if he Wissa scored that tbf, saved us some agony

I thought this was about Newcastle, didn’t know ‘we’ was ManU

We are closer to *world champions* Chelsea than the relegation zone.

Just seen his Wissa pass, delicious.
