Will we qualify for the CL?

[Crown Hill]

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

That made this batch muncher smile!

I'd take a Newcastle - Chelsea draw and a Forest win right now. Get four teams within one result with two to play...and two of them play each other last game of the season, meaning we'd catch at least one of them, both if they also draw.

Provided we win both games etc etc. Barely need to bother with that caveat at this stage.

Are we guaranteed a Europa League place, now?

That’s the impression I got from MotD yesterday.

Guaranteed European football. If we finish seventh and Palace win the cup then it's Conference.

We now can't finish lower than seventh.

[Paul.S]

European football guaranteed for the third season running. Win the next 2 and I think CL football will be coming back. Massively important for so many reasons.

Cheers Dave
I think it was the Newcastle Carling Cup win that’s thrown me.

Understandable, I don't think anyone of us under 70 are used to Newcastle winning a trophy.

The big problem with all these scenarios is it’s looking like we will have to go to Old Trafford in the last match of the season and win or at least get a result
Our record up there is abysmal, they could put their women’s team out and we still lose
They’ve been piss poor all season and we couldn’t even beat them at Villa Park, we still have a collective bottle job mentality when it comes to them

Then again I didn’t think we’d win at Bournemouth because of our poor record and we managed to overturn that bogey
So we live in Hope and fear

A draw between Chelsea and Newcastle has to be the preferred result assuming we need two wins to have a chance.

If they draw, and Newcastle don’t beat Arsenal, and we win our last two, we qualify.

Although Newcastle have already beaten Arsenal three times this season without conceding a goal. They're Arsenal's version of Palace for us.

I think more fun is Arsenal losing their next two and knowing they HAVE to beat a demob happy Southampton on the last day to avoid finishing seventh.

Which they then fail to do.

Well we play ManUre 4 days after their European final. If we can't beat them with their players on the beach and with nothing to play for we might as well forfeit every game against them forever.

I think it would be lovely though to complete our Champions League comeback from nowhere and fucking destroy them at the Theatre of Cockneys.

I'd imagine that if they've won the Europa League, and Citeh are still in the mix for a CL spot, the home fans wouldn't be that distraught with a Villa win.

[JUAN PABLO]

I would prefer magpies win . not a draw .  I did predictions and we finish higher than chelsea 2 pts if magpies win but we all know there be weird results still.  I think the forest and chelsea would be excellent for a draw . 

If Villa win last 2 they will qualify , Ive even put chelsea to win today in the predictions.

Arsenal could finish 4th

Totally agree.

Well Jackson's season is over and they weren't exactly free scoring before.
