We just need to equal whatever Tottenham do. Leeds away won't be easy in their predicament.


I thought that, but then realised that Brentford can overtake us if we don't win.

They would have to beat Man City.

League champions and double cup finalists Man City. They may have other priorities, and Brentford at home isn't easy for anyone.

Beat Brighton and cut out complications. Think Brighton will be done by then in terms of qualification.

Brighton are going to be bloody knackered by the time we play them. They've been playing twice a week for a while now, and Abu Dhabi will make them run miles.

Man City are a machine though with Robots for players.

Hopefully its a nice hot, sunny day next Sunday and they tire even faster.

Home form has been excellent so we should be confident in continuing the run we're on.

It’s on! One more massive game left, what an incredible season. Best we’ve had for a very long time, I’m sure I was young, slim and had hair the last time we was this good.

The fact we've got a Europe thread that is now nigh 100 pages is a near miracle. Imagine telling us that at the end of cabbage heads reign.

I predicted over 60 points would get us Europe. The statsdint lie.

If it's up for grabs for all 3 sides come the final day then i'm quietly confident of one thing. Brighton will be a lot more worried about playing us than we'll be about playing them.

A season in which you win a trophy is always going to be more memorable.

Who will ever forget 2009? :)

Three points would have brought Europa seriously into the conversation but never mind, win and we're in Europe. That's incredible given where we were a third into the season. Favourite chant today, if it wasn't for Gerrard we'd be top.

As a couple of guys have posted we can’t rule out Brentford, they’ve suddenly crept up.
So it’s up from grabs for 4
