Will we qualify for the CL?

[DB]

We have beaten 3 rivals in last few weeks for the top 5. We are playing superb.

[PaulWinch again]

Today was absolutely essential. If we could follow up with a positive result Tuesday…

The Football Rankings lads now give us a 39% chance.

Very lazy analysis.

Newcastle and Chelsea have to play each other.
Chelsea and Forest have to play each other.
Forest and Chelsea are out of form.
I would put us at 60%. And I'm a natural Villa pessimist.

Come on Fulham, Ipswich and Spurs!!!

Fulham got a possibility of a European spot?

Better?

Beat City and that's breaking 50% for the first time since September.

In an ideal world today makes Newcastle retreat into their tiny-dicked shells, they lose every game for the rest of the season and finish ninth.

Yeah, Spurs pulling their one-in-ten great performance out on Monday after we've drawn level on points with Forest two days earlier would be just the ticket.

Reckon they'd assume they'd blown it in those circumstances.

Bradley Johnson grabbing the winner and cupping his ear with a shit-eating grin to his old fans, will do.

Wonder what the remaining fixtures average league placing thing looks like now? Once we've played City ours will be through the floor.

We manage to win Tuesday and we're well into favourite territory.

Dave posted them a couple of days ago (from F365).

Which Champions League contender has the kindest run-in?
Based on the average current position of every team’s remaining opponents, some will be far happier with their schedule than others:

1) Nottingham Forest – 13.33
2) Manchester City – 12.17
3) Newcastle – 9.71
4) Aston Villa – 9.17
5) Chelsea – 7.33

[Mellin]

Thanks BV.  It's 10 now. After City it'll be 11.5.

Win on Tuesday and we'll do it.

[rob_bridge]

After Palace game I thought we needed 24 from final 10 games, and thought it unlikely. We have had 4 really good wins since (+Saints).

We probably in fact need 25 (67 in total due to GD).

So 10 from the last 5 in my opinion will be enough.

[Somniloquism]

Fulham / Chelsea tomorrow is a 6 pointer for those teams. Be interesting how that one falls.

[Meanwood Villa]

Come on the London Whites!

I do fear a bit for Tuesday but even if it doesn't go our way we've still got plenty of opportunities to pick up the points we need.
