We actually have been very unlucky. Pau's injury was bad enough but Konsa's coming before Pau was back was just cruel.

I still think we have 8 wins in us

There is absolutely no chance of Champions League.

One, we aren't good enough yet.

Two, we aren't ****** yet

Three, we need another striker that can come in and replace Ollie when he's on his runs of dodgy finishing etc

Sixth or seventh I reckon, and have a crack next year

Fulham away - our record is woeful there.
Forest home - have to win that.
Luton away - depends entirely on which Luton and Villa sides turn up.

After today’s performance I’m more confident we’ll end the season strong.  We have players returning from injury, Ramsey looking very good. The balance of the team looked so much better today.

There’s no way Spurs will win every game either and Man Utd certainly won’t, it’s all to play for.

If we conspire to lose that game we’ll fall away now.

We will finish 4th.  I’m convinced of it.  Tonight was an aberration but the performance was enough to tell me we are going to storm back.  Torres, Konsa and Digne back and Ramsey back to his best will see us through. 

Fuck spurs.  Fuck Man Utd.  4th is on and we just need to believe it.

Found the performance very encouraging and think we beat any other side in the country today that doesn't have fucking Satan in their corner.

It's between us and Spurs for 5th. Man United will get it. I've not seen any other side so consistently shite everytime I see them, get so many results. They're just over the top and chase it merchants. They're wank. Yet they're top 6? Fucking how? Satanic black magic. So disregard them, top 4 nailed on.

Time to bounce back. Feel like we can now.

It is, but Kamara’s injury status is massive to our chances. If we are to have a chance we need to get a winners mentality back - we should have won that at a canter and instead we lost it, that is mentally weak.

We could and should have finished Man Utd off home and away from even being in contention. We could have knocked Newcastle out of contention for good. We blew all three games.
