Ideally, we need Chelsea and Newcastle to draw at St James’ and Newcastle to not win at Arsenal

If we win our two that puts us ahead of Newcastle and, worst case scenario within 1 point of Forest and Chelsea going in to the final day, where we’d know a win for us would qualify us at one of their expense.

It’s almost certainly going to the last game.
You can make a case for all of them and I can imagine a scenario where we 7 points is enough.

Win all three games and we are in the CL, seven may get us in, anything less and nope. Hopefully we've had our little blip and it's shit or bust from here...

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

Yes that’s true, but I’m talking about our chances of top 5 and if we don’t win all three realistically there’s no chance of us making top 5.

Well they weren't in the League Cup semi final at Arsenal a couple of months ago.

Arsenal are very much in danger of spursing it!

Yep, we obviously need to win at Bournemouth, but the best result for us would probably be Newcastle and Chelsea drawing.  Would put us a point behind both and them facing big games the following week. 

Win both our games and we could potentially be above both going into the last game.

I did one of those predictors and tried various scenarios. Obviously, we need 9 points. But in a few of the tested outcomes, we pip Newcastle and Forest. In fact, Newcastle ended up 7th in a couple.

I not watching other games or doing any predictor stuff, we need to win all our games and if we do I'm in no doubt we will finish in the top 5.

We're a mere afterthought looking at BBC Sport this morning and that's how I like it.

Yes I noticed that, there doesn't seem to any comprehension that the teams above us have to play each other.

BBC just now -

Don't worry Aston Villa fans, we've not forgotten about you.

Unai Emery's side were described by one reader, earlier this morning, as a potential "wildcard" for Champions League qualification.

Ipswich Town recently won at Bournemouth. We need to go there full of belief and blow them away.

Well someone did write in can call us a wildcard. So not sure what the point is.
