There's plenty of potential twists left in this season. We've won six of the last seven. That form is going to provide sleepless nights for the other candidates if we maintain it.

If we win the last 3 games we will have deserved it.  It's starting to look like a win for either Newcastle or Chelsea in their game against each other is the best result for us. 

We need Palace to be 'Palace v Villa' Palace later today too.

I think if Forest win tonight we are into miracle territory, with a guaranteed three points to come on Saturday against Leicester. We aren't catching Man City, who still have to play Southampton, so a Forest win tonight means we probably have to finish above Chelsea and Newcastle. I can't see that happening. If Palace play like they did the last two times we wanted a favour from them, we're fucked.

I don't trust us to get over the line at Bournemouth to be honest.

It’d be unhelpful definitely, but if we win all three (which we have to really), then they still need to win two of their last three.

Hopefully Palace don't leave key players out and they show some interest tonight . I fear the worst though and will be backing Forest at the bookies

Palace's record against Forest is atrocious. Something like 1 League win in the last 11 meetings.

Lot on tonight's game, so far so good, teams around us dropping points all over, next hurdle kicks off shortly.

That’ll do, if we win all three then Forest have to win all three to finish in front of us now.

They just need to match our results : win , draw or lose

Not a terrible weekend. The teams who had the home games all won (us, Citeh, Chelsea) and the competitors playing away both drew (Fores, Newcastle). Our turn to play away next weekend and we'll need a result at Bournemouth.

Brighton and Palace had the best chances at the death in their games but Liverpool being lacklustre at Chelsea was the biggest blow. But hopefully not fatal.

If we win all 3, which I think we've thought we'd have to for a while, and Chelsea draw against Newcastle and Forest, we're 5th. Starting to sound a bit more possible.

Chelsea still have Newcastle and Forest to play. They can’t all win all of those.

If we keep winning, we get CL football. Get that and it’ll be a pretty decent season all things considered.

If Newcastle and Chelsea draw that’d be a perfect result for us. It would mean they both need to win the other two games.

All the predicated on us winning all three, but if we don’t I think we’re out of the conversation.
