UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

I'm not giving up on 4th yet, no matter how unlikely. Once you're into a 7/8/9 game shootout anything can happen. Clubs could tank, injuries happen, including to us.

If West Ham win the Europa Conference will that be one spot (7th) gone and 6th would be conference?

It's refreshing to see you posting about fewer spaces being available.

Is there something like the last season's BBC PL Predictor where we can put in the predicted results of the remaining games?

Ive just done my own version for the relegation battle and I’ve got Southampton bottom followed by Leeds and Leicester, with Forest and Everton escaping by one point and West Ham, Bournemouth and Wolves further ahead, my own bias maybe coming into it with Leeds, given Forests run in. Not sure i can face predicting our final points tally, too nervy.

Click for full joke...

I like that. It's gone in my Villa album on FB.

I don't think they helped themselves with that Tifo video as if I had a picture in my mind of some generic football slightly hipster twat wanking on about xg, yer man was it.

Results for ManU have gone against us a bit. But if Tottenham beat Newcassle next week (assuming we beat Brentford), things could start to get very squeaky.

It's slightly mental that this thread even exists.

Loving this.

It's mental that it's gone from 'remote possibility' to 'which kind of Europe?' in just about a fortnight

Yes but Newcastle have a lot of easier games and I can see them getting 68 points unless they blow up of course.

Yesterday was the kind of beating that leaves scars.

Hope Brighton get 4th and pip Spurs and Newcastle. They play far better football than either. I think we could catch Tottenham, they're just a plodding bag of spuds these days.

Of any of the teams to get 4th ahead of us, Brighton would be my pick, but only because the other two would “capitalise” on it to a far greater degree than Brighton could, which could make them even stronger opposition for a top 4 place next season. Brighton, I suspect, would enjoy the European adventure, but not really push on, a la Leicester.

With the exception of Chelsea last game of the season, none of Newcastle's opponents are on the beach. They are all fighting for something.

Exactly, clubs "could" tank. They may not but no chance i'm giving up on it yet.

Newcastle had won 5 in a row, but before that it was W1 D5 L2. For anyone outside of the top 2 form can drop off a cliff with little warning.
