Will we qualify for the CL?

[Dave]

Not via the league though. Top five only (in case Steve was thinking it could advantage us, it can't).

I’m a silly old bugger because I’d forgotten about the Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United cup final. It does seem ridiculous though doesn’t it? Two teams who are 17th and 16th in the league table can end up in the Champions League. What an absolute farce, they should be embarrassed with themselves.

They should definitely be embarrassed with themselves for being there in the league.

In a European context, Lyon, Bilbao, Frankfurt, Real Sociedad, Alkmaar etc should be embarrassed with themselves for letting these showers past them.

Well, maybe. But what are Tottenham and Man U's budgets compared to those sides?

Astronomical. But they're also astronomical compared the budgets of Bournemouth and Fulham, who don't seem to have founds being miles better than them a problem.

Sometimes teams underperform in certain competitions. See, Aston Villa, FA Cup, 1958-. It doesn't mean they can't perform in other games. It would still have been a shock if a team from the Netherlands, a team from France other than PSG, a team from Germany that isn't Bayern Munich or a team consisting entirely of Basque players beat teams costing hundreds of millions.

Still on going into the final day.

[PeterWithesShin]

There could be 1 point separating 5 teams going into the last day.

[PaulWinch again]

I don’t know why but I’ve a sneaking suspicion Citeh will lose one of their games.

[stevo_st]

I think we’ll get fecked over by goal difference with 4 teams all on 69 points.
Ending the debate forever on whether goal difference gives you an extra point.

[Somniloquism]

It will be a hell of a finish though, for all teams involved.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Guessing our game will be on TV now.

[PaulWinch again]

What we really need is Forest to win at West Ham.

[Dave]

I don’t know why but I’ve a sneaking suspicion Citeh will lose one of their games.

I think that the big exciting twist is Hudson-Odoi getting a narrative-fulled late equaliser against Chelsea.

And I was saying ages ago that Forest wouldn't beat Leicester in their derby because That's What The Story Demands, so you can trust the above.

Although The Story does probably also require us to not beat Man Utd.

[Goldenballs]

I don't know what to think any more.

[Somniloquism]

Guessing our game will be on TV now.

I expect all four will be. And MOTD will do that league table changes jump around the matches as well on the evening.

[PaulWinch again]

I stick with the view I’ve had for a while - if we make 69 points and don’t reach the Champions League then fair play, we’ve done remarkably well given we’ve had to cope with Champions League football too.
