Need either Chelsea or Forest to drop points next weekend or we’re fucked.

Can't see Forest winning at Wham.

It's the final home game for the chimpanzee suckers and will want to go out with a bang. Tough game for Notts Forest.

Yes. Gained 2 points on Citeh and Forest this weekend, 3 on Chelsea. Forest in particular are blowing up.

Win our last two and Chelsea don’t do the same and we’re there.

Can Yanited and Spurs really be this shit for their last two league games? I can't see them losing all of them.

They're crap but there are limits, y'know?

Assuming we win both of our games we need TWO of the following to happen.

Man City lose ONE or draw both of their games - Bournemouth (H), Fulham (A) - possible, but not likely
Newcastle not to win either of their games - Arsenal (A), Everton (H).  They'll beat Everton, anything against Arsenal is a bonus.
Chelsea to not win ONE of their games - Man U (H), Forest (A)

I think Man City and Newcastle will do what they need to do; so it's up to Forest or Man U (lol) to stop Chelsea winning.

Also Forest to take points against Chelsea last day at home might happen.

Any normal season when the bottom three weren’t so incredibly shit, would see both spurs and man utd bang in the middle of a relegation battle.

After that shambles with the owner at full time, I wouldn't be surprised if Forest don't win again this season

Today's results have made our situation simple. If over the last two games we do better than Chelsea, and at least as well as Forest, we will be in the Champions' League. If we don't, we won't

Does anybody else find it rather bizarre that, whilst we might not be playing Champions' League football next season, one of our final two opponents in this league campaign, the two worst teams in the division outside of the bottom three, will be?...

I mean, I agree with the Europa winners qualifying for the CL next season. It's just that this particular set of circumstances is most strange...
