Wide open. Wiiiiiiide open. I’d say nailed on.

We're one point closer  8)

I actually think we could lose our next three games and still finish 4th.

It's not inconceivable that tomorrow week we'll be 8-10 points clear of Spurs (with them having only 3 games left), and SHA relegated. 8) 8)

I'll feel much better about our chances if Spuds lose the next two. Thursday is going to be murder on the ticker.

Chelsea v Spurs 730pm
Aston Villa v Olympicao 8pm

Two convincing home wins to settle us all would be most helpful! Pray to the Lord above.

Aston Villa have scored 73 Premier League goals this season, their most in a single top-flight campaign since 1976-77 (76).

"Chelsea come back to dent Villa top four hopes" is a better example of a more biased headline, IMO.

I look forward to "Spurs' top four hopes now a write-off after car crash performance at Chelsea" on Thursday night.

Yaaay!  Go the Lillyshites. Oh no. They've pissed the bed again.

The Beeb and TNT would absolutely love them to triumph. File it away, and remind them all of this shit at the appropriate time.

Man U felt they had shifted gears on us when they beat us in Feb. Tottingham similar in March. How's that working out.

This was the game I always had misgivings about. Glad we got a point, even if we went two goals up. Feels like a point gained.

For us, I think 70-72 points does it. Are there any teams who have missed out on CL previously with 71 points? Not that I can recall.

You just know chelsea will not play that well vs sours. I bet they shit themselves like they did against arsenal

What worries me is that Spurs will actually try to score against Chelsea, something we didn’t try to do in the second half until they got level, and then, shock, horror, we nearly did. Twice.

The Arse missed out on 75 points in 2016/17.
