Will we qualify for the CL?

[Rioch is King]

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

About time someone mentioned Ipswich

[Somniloquism]

Sounded like similar to our home game. Their keeper had a blinder plus some misses from Bournemouth, and Ipswich scored from their only shots on target.

Anyone who thinks 7 points is enough obviously hasn't seen our goal difference. Forest have Leicester and West Ham to get them on to 67. I know it can happen, but it's unlikely. Win all 3, then it's on, but I don't see anything fewer succeeding.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

There’s plenty of unpredictable results at this stage of the season.

Forest have just taken one point from their last two games, which they would class as very disappointing. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if they only took 5 points from their last three games, in which case we’d finish above them with another 7.

[edgysatsuma89]

Which would be alright if Chelsea didn't also only need 4 points to beat us only getting 7. So they can help us jump Forest while pushing themselves further away. If it was just one team we needed to leap above, maybe, but not two, and with our GD. Just don't see 7 doing it at all.

I'm pretty confident we will finish above Forest, anyway, should we beat Bournemouth. I just did a score predictor to pass the time and had us, Newcastle and Chelsea all getting 69 points for a nice exciting nightmare.

Hoping Leicester kill themselves against Forest, as it's a local Derby.

For Vardy - on 199 Leicester goals - his last. Here's hoping...

I don't think there's a stonger motivating force in football than spoiling the other teams party, especially when they're up the road.

This not-wholly-serious piece obviously written to wind up Arsenal fans does a nice round-by-round assessment and comes up a table going into the final day of:

2) Manchester City – 70 points, +31 goal difference
3) Arsenal – 67 points, +29 goal difference
4) Chelsea – 67 points, +24 goal difference
5) Newcastle – 67 points, +23 goal difference
6) Nottingham Forest – 67 points, +17 goal difference
7) Aston Villa – 66 points, +11 goal difference

Which would be pretty nerve-wracking. Thinking about it though, I'd be more confident of a result at Man Utd if we're not sitting in 3rd - 5th at the start of the match.

Yeah, I definitely know what you mean by that, and I suspect it is how it will play out. Chelsea - Forest draw... the dream.

[Steve67]

Is it better to chase at this point, with the games we have, or to be looking down and hoping not to get caught, but perhaps taking things for granted?

[cdbearsfan]

Better to have the points on the board rather than having to rely on the numerous let-down bastards in the league that never help us out.

[Meanwood Villa]

All the clichés are true, all about doing our own job. Three wins and I'm confident we'll do it.

[pauliewalnuts]

Yep - all we can do is the things within our power to influence, ie win all the remaining matches. It's nice when other results go your way, but those chips will fall where they fall.

[eddiemunster]

Would hope that we do qualify, but can't see it.
We've dropped too many points, draws that should have been wins and losses that should have been draws.
Imagine how many points we'd have got, prior to the Jan transfer window, if we'd got the recruits earlier and didn't have the injuries that we had.
I still think we'll get into Europe, just not in the CL!!
