Looking at some of the head-to-heads coming up 66ish might even be enough this season. Basically just do our bit and win 4.

Aye, I see people worrying a bit about Villa but if we win only 4 out of 8, they'd need to win 6 and draw 1 of their last 7 and they have some tough games. Still think it's between us & Spurs, possibly Brighton if they beat us up here but we could have a pretty average end to the season and still nick it from here. 

 

Think Spurs are done, it will now be between us, Man Utd and Brighton for two spots. Notice that people are pretty much giving one spot to Man Utd but they could be fucked, all those extra games and injuries could mean it's a tough ending to their season, haven't really rotated their players much during the season either.

 

It's still looking good, we are way more likely to play in UCL next season than not.

Stellini and Lloris both calling the Spurs fans out for booing Sanchez saying they’re a thick bunch of entitled cunts.

 

The fans hate the players and Levy, the players hate the fans, and their former manager hated everything about the club. Hilarious stuff.

And that's why I wasn't too devastated by our own result today :)

 

Objectively, Villa have to be considered in the hunt though. Yes, it implies us having a collapse but we can't say we have a divine right not to do that. 5th is unquestionably in their reach, though, so why not 4th?

Spurs still have to go to Liverpool and Villa.

 

Brighton have to go to Arsenal and Villa.

 

Arsenal is by far our hardest remaining game.

 

I'm actually more optimistic about Arsenal home than Chelsea away for some reason. :lol:

If I genuinely believed that, I'd be having a bash at 25s.

I'd also say it's pretty big that our difficult fixtures at home. We've improved no end away but always look stronger on home soil. The numbers go along with that too.

 

Yup, and if we lose to both Spurs and Brighton at home it's easy to say we didn't really deserve to be in the top 4.

I don't think they'll do it, by the way. I don't believe we'll collapse. One of the few positives today is we were still chasing balls down when 3-0 down in the 93rd minute. We never said die, we kept our discipline.

Could do with Brentford turning over Villa next weeks just to settle a few nerves there.

 

I think a confident Villa might actually help us given they have Brighton, Man U & Spurs. :lol:

 

If they could beat one of Brighton and Spurs and get a draw against Man Utd they'll have repaid us for relegation. 

 

Ironic they have Brighton at home last game of the season as well given what happened last time in the Championship.

There's a reason we were favourites today but it's football and games have to be played before giving anyone points. Predicting that we are the better team was right.  Anything can happen but Villa finishing in top 4 instead of us, Man U, Spurs, Brighton and Liverpool is extremely unlikely.

 

You said they weren’t in the race not that it was unlikely. 
 

I’d back them comfortably ahead of Liverpool. I’d say Man U are favourites to come finish in the top 4 then it’s close between us, spurs and Brighton and will likely come down to the games between them. Villa are an outsider  and need help to get in and can’t afford much if any of a slip up but are very much involved due to their form and then Liverpool pretty much need to win out (or win all but 1) to have a chance.

I said it's extremely unlikely, so unlikely that I don't consider them to be in the race at all. Is that fine with you?

No initially you said they aren’t in the race this season not that it’s unlikely they get in the top 4. I’d have agreed if you’d said that.

I said to the lads last night I'd be happy if we matched Spurs result today. 

Did you assume saying that it would be a win or a draw though ? ? As I had a similar sentiment

Alright mate. :lol: I'm not a native speaker but in my mind extremely unlikely (low single digit probability) is pretty fucking close to non-existent.

My apologies I made the assumption you were a native speaker.
