Three wins and a draw could do it. The teams above are all going to fuck-up a couple of times apart from Citeh.

They are some tasty fixtures if we get the job done.

That point at the Etihad would've been handy 🫣

Tonight's result was really sexy.

I have nothing against Forest, but they can fuck off. I want that CL spot. Sorry lads!

Unlikely but imagine this scenario last day of the season.
Forest and Chelsea sit in 4th and 5th 2 points ahead of us in 6th with our inferior goal difference. We win at Man U, but they play out a 0-0 draw taking turns to pass the ball about in their own half.

The Forest result is tremendous, looks like they are choking on expectation. Chelsea and Newcastle have some tough fixtures, but City should stroll some easy games. Fulham is now a huge game to get ourselves back in the mix, we can dislodge one of Forest/Chelsea/Newcastle from the top 5

That last game Forest v Chelsea certainly has the possibility of being played in the context of something peculiar.

The way Forest are going they will dislodge themselves lol. Chelsea have some tough fixtures and European games to play. We are still right in the mix after Forest losing tonight, I can see Forest losing at Palace aswell

They probably won't be able to do that, because Newcastle will already be in the mix, and they won't have the same GD advantage over them.

That result tonight might just about bring us back in play...if we win all four. Permutations are two of the following need to happen combined with four wins:

Newcastle lose two
Man City lose one and draw one
Forest drop points in any form in two
Chelsea drop points in any form in two

Last game of the season is Forest - Chelsea. A draw in that would mean they both need to drop points in one other game. Odds are slim, but not impossible.

Chelsea play Forest and Newcastle so there will be dropped points in those games. Newcastle’s game against Arsenal and Forests against palace will be tricky too. Forest look like a side that momentum
Is swinging against at the wrong time for them and they feel it. If they struggle against Palace it could really fall apart for them. Chelsea don’t have an easy game.

Still lots to play for. I hope the result tonight has given our squad a lift as we need one after our last couple of games.

The upside to tonight’s Europa league games is it should make things easier in the last couple of games for us. It’s the next two
that are my biggest worry and particularly how we turn up for Fulham.

We will have to win all 4 to stand a chance. Can I see it at the moment? Not really.

We'll draw one but still sneak in. Can't wait.

The upside to United and Spurs getting to the Europa final is that will be their sole focus for the last two games of the season……… he said hopefully
