This isn’t the bad days of relegations and humiliations Take a step back and enjoy the moment lads, rather than fretting over every possible negative permutation I think we might only need 2 draws now, not that I want to experience that.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 If you fancied a bit of a safety bet where you could still win a lump and get a CL spot, Skybet have us 7/2 to finish outside of the top 4. Same odds as we are to finish 2nd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 During the match, I heard the commentators say a couple of times that the winner of this game(Chelsea V Us) would have CL Football? How do they figure that out? Did it mean we can't crash down lower than Fifth? Or what would be their rationale for such a statement? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It put the winner of it in pole position, and the loser hoping for results to go their way alongside doing their own job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 If I’m reading it right, one more point and both Chelsea and Forest can’t finish above us due to them playing each other last game of the season. Three more makes Villa finishing above us a miracle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three more makes Villa finishing above us a miracle. 3 points and Forest mathematically can’t finish above us. As you say, it would also take a miracle consider our GD for Villa to overtake us.

Jonas Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Another way of looking at, does the trick for me Forest need to win both games - one of which is against Chelsea - and we'd need to lose both Villa need to win both games - and we'd need to win neither Chelsea need to win at least one game - with a goal swing - if we were to lose both games, both with a goals swing - if we were to draw at least one, both with a goals swing if we were to win one lose one. Wouldn't want to be in their shoes either Edited May 11 by Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By my calculations 2 draws won't have us finish 2nd ? My comment was that we're 2 wins away from finishing 2nd. Even if we don't get there, to have 2 games left and be in with a chance of 2nd place is magnificent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilcline Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 A ridiculous thing to be thinking about but I really hope that a) we're sorted after next weekend and/or b) the mackems go out in the week, can't be fucked with that little cunt in Everton's goal dropping a Gordon Banks the day after they've won or lost a playoff final and he can potentially cost us Champions League football and him being/putting himself the centre of attention, the fucking tramp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Villa lose, then they are out of the equation (from our perspective), but then if Forest won their 2 remaining matches (obviously one would include Chelsea) and Chelsea beat Man Utd then we could, and very likely will, finish 6th with 2 losses.
