Will we qualify for the CL?

[Sexual Ealing]

This is all much more exciting than watching the last game of the season from beneath a blanket, wondering if we’d be relegated…

We’re doing all we can can do.

I’m frustrated and gutted about all the last minute goals we’ve conceded this season. If we hadn’t, this would have been sewn up by now.

But hey, I’ll take Europa over being mid-table. It’s been a tough season and we’ve been very inconsistent. Hopefully we’ve learnt lessons for next season.

It’s almost fantastic that we, as a fanbase, would almost be disappointed if it was Europa over CL!

All this.

Interesting at the moment. Arse on 67 and now have to play Plop at Anfield. For all the "being on the beach", I'm sure Arteta's comments about they finished on higher points last two seasons will have riled them.

Citeh drop points against the bottom of the table are on 65. They have to play three games in a week including Bournemouth and Fulham. If Citeh have won the cup it puts Europe in play for 8th for Bournemouth specifically if not still Fulham.

Geordies and Chelsea on 63 with us and are playing tomorrow.

Us 63.

Forest on 61 and playing their local rivals tomorrow.

Hoping for a draw tomorrow between Newcastle and Chelsea. That way, they'd both need to win both their last two games to finish above us, should we win our last two.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah draw or Chelsea win for me.

We could well be 1pt behind Arsenal going into the last game of the season…

I really hope we aren't.

I was thinking that a good scenario would be for Chelsea to beat Newcastle and to beat Forest. But if we win our 2 games, and Chelsea draw those 2 games, we are guaranteed CL.

I’m looking at the remaining games now, trying to work out who’s doing what and when.

Honestly, I have no idea how this is going to work out or who I want to win out of Chelsea or Newcastle.

Arsenal's remaining fixtures

May 11: Liverpool (a)

May 18: West Ham (a)
May 25: Chelsea (h)

Newcastle's remaining fixtures

Chelsea's remaining fixtures

Aston Villa's remaining fixtures

May 18: Spurs (h)
May 25: Man United (a)


We’re lucky that we don’t have to play any of the other Top 7 in the last 2 games, and Man City and Forest *probably* have the easiest run in out of the bunch.

The hardest is a 3 way split between Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle.

I’m not sure a draw tomorrow would be the very worst result given those remaining fixtures, but, I think potentially we could see Arsenal being pulled back into the mix a bit more too.

Man City probably have done enough now. But as we saw v Southampton today, who knows.

Maybe this will be a bit clearer come tomorrow evening!! 

[Brazilian Villain]

Forget about catching Arsenal, they will get to 70+ points.

[Mellin]

I think we're gonna do it...for the first time since about September.

[Somniloquism]

Starting a week on Sunday hopefully.

[PeterWithesShin]

Predicting results this late in the season is pointless, pressure does weird things. No one would have predicted a Saints point today. If we win our last two we finish top 5 as others will slip up, we have to make sure we don't.

Doesn't matter if Newcastle, Chelsea or Forest draw or lose any of their remaining games. Just that they drop points. Newcastle two games, Chelsea two games, Forest one game. City are different and need to lose one. A draw wouldn't be enough.

With that in mind, Newcastle - Chelsea draw is the one, as would put them both down to one game where any form of dropped points is required

Sadly, I think we'll miss out on goal difference.

I wonder if they'll make a banner for us. Good Luck Villa from the City of London.
