Next two games are just fucking massive.

4 points would be good, 6 would leave us in an excellent position. Not losing either game is key.

I will laugh my bollocks off if those cloggers Forest bottle it.  Only bad thing would be if the likes of Chelsea or Saudi Arabia get in at their expense. 

Honestly think we'll take 4 points from the Man City / Saudi games and we'll be fine.

We've got McGinn, I just don't think our rivals understand. So, yes.

One big win by us, or a big loss by either Forest or Newcastle may bring goal difference back into the equation. We are presently +3, Forest and Newcastle +13.

Forest getting dragged back into it is big.

They've run out of steam by April, it's like MON is back in charge.

None of our remaining games are against bottom feeders though. Mind you, we owe Newcastle a 5-1 smacking or similar.

Bit annoying that it's those two in second and third, otherwise it feels like it would actually be a bit of a stroll.

Chelsea includes home games v Saints, Leicester and Spurs and tomorrow Ipswich.

There next 4 are losses to Everton, Fulham, Liverpool and Newcastle.

Forest look like we did this time last year. What was coming easily is now difficult, injuries, pressure mounting, starting to feel like a slog… sometimes it’s easier being the hunter than the hunted.

 The annoyance is Citeh have found some form.

We’ve done nothing more than put ourselves back in contention. The equation remains the same, in my view: be within mathematical striking distance of the Jaudis when they come to Villa Park (which means them dropping points today or on Wednesday), and beat them. If we can do that, we will have several routes to finishing 5th or higher, rather than the unique and very narrow one we are currently on.

 Can see Forest falling like a stone now, which is marvellous.

Not sure if you've heard but he's better than Zidane.
