Champions League Contention

[ChicagoLion]

Yes it gives Chelsea some form going into the Spurs game Thursday.

[Drummond]

We finished with Olsen, Iroegbunam, Carlos, Digne, Rogers and Duran on the pitch. Added to that Cash was playing right wing.

That's how depleted a first team we have.

[N'ZMAV]

7 points from Arsenal, Chelseea and Bournemouth - with the injuries, Conference League games in the mix too.

That's fantastic tbh.

Said before we need 73 to be certain. 71 may well be enough.

Spurs having cannon fodder Blades means they will probably add 6 to their GD

We have 2 games against teams in bad form coming up. Win them both and we are done and dusted

[Dave P]

I think spurs will get 67 points, possibly 69. Obviously I’m saying this a few hours before they play arsenal, but if they getting anything from them and Man City, they deserve it.

We did, so we deserve it by that reckoning as I think those results will be the difference.

[Monty]

Honestly pretty gloomy. Think Arsenal will fuck us today.

Arsenal will twat these useless ******.

[David_Nab]

Arsenal against top 6 has been decent all season apart from losing to us.
They  of course are under pressure with league to go for but Spurs are now having to feel pressure coming off a battering in last game.

I don't think it will be easy for Arsenal but don't see them losing.They have very little injury issues also so full squad to pick from.

[LeeB]

I think they start fast and get into Spurs but if they don't get in front in the first half hour there could be trouble.

Yeah I think 2 wins from our last 3 and Spurs are not catching us. 4 points may well do it. Last night was no disaster when you think back to the cup game and consider how many good chances we had.

[Astnor]

One win and a draw should do it. We should win Brighton away with how they are now but then again we are at bare bones given the injuries so who knows. Us as we where at Arsenal - yes, us as against Chelsea second half yesterday - doubtful.

[AV82EC]

Difficult one to call today, will it be an Arsenal bottle job or will Spurs be all Spursy. Hoping for the latter obvs but never trust Arsenal to deliver the result you want.

Firstly congratulations to Unai and our team of hardworking and honest footballers making the Europa League. Making Europe in two consecutive seasons in just 18 months from when we were on the brink of relegation (how’s your Liverpool job application going gerrrrarrrd?) is fantastic progress!
I’ve enjoyed the ECL and I’m hoping to enjoy the EL or the CL just as much (whichever is our destiny).
Finishing in the top 4 (a mini league within the pl) is significant for me because it means we’ve well and truly got in amongst the scab 6 and ruffled the feathers of their broadcast jerk-offs.
In 2 of the last 4 seasons a team finishing 4th has done so with 66 and 67 points. We’ve achieved those points with 3 games remaining. It’s good to know that we’re now capable of amassing those number of points (and hopefully more) to put ourselves in a position of finishing top 4. Whether we end up doing so remains to be seen, but I fancy our chances.

Lots to be positive about, Abbey

People should remember that we cant win them all and even when we won the league I think we lost 8 matches of the 42.
We took 4 points off a £1bn squad and the only 3 team ahead of us are A Blatant Oil State Financial Dopers with unlimited income and 2 of the 3 most successful and larger established clubs over the last 100 years who win trophies regularly.

Villa had more trophies than both for the best part of a century - Liverpool didn't even win their first FA Cup until 1965 (!) 

I get what you mean, though.
