Will we qualify for the CL?

[Brazilian Villain]

Before tonight, we had to win our last two games. Now we have to win one game, that's all that really matters tonight.

It would have been nice if Chelsea had dropped points tonight, and left it in our own hands, but it was probably the most unlikely result to go in our favour given the circumstances. Citeh have two tricky games in a week, Chelsea still have to go to Forest, and Newcastle may need to beat Everton on the last day. That may or may not happen, but I'm not writing us off just yet because Chelsea laboured to beat Yanited 1-0.

Precisely, we need to win and then let’s see.

What we really need is Forest to win at West Ham.

Hell Yeah - and Arsenal to beat Newcatsle, and Bournemouth to beat Man City.  Keep it as close as possible and hope for lady luck

That happens and it is in our hands then. No need for Lady Luck (apart from whether GK Onana has a blinder).

[Meanwood Villa]

My other half suggested I might enjoy the last game given the great season we've had. She just doesn't understand.

Were at old trafford - we always need luck

We're in a position where we've got to win the last game whatever happens, so although I have been thinking it would be good for us for Forest to lose tomorrow and be out of it, it might actually be better if they win.  It would keep them right in it going into that last game with Chelsea and if they win that, we'd be in with a win.

If we win, a draw between Forest and Chelsea would be enough to see us qualify.

I think our chances are about 50/50 now. I agree we want Forest to still have something to play for on the last day.

That last minute goal at Citeh is now looking season defining

[PhilVill]

I still think a win at OT will see us through. We need to take care of our own end first.

We’ve got the best form in the league since February, we’re on an incredible run, that would see us walk the league if it was sustained over a longer period. Theres really no point mulling over the one game we’ve lost in 3 months.

Best scenario I think is if Forest draw at West Ham so still have only an outside chance, then beat Chelsea. That would leave them on 66 and Chelsea on 66, if we drew at Man U then we’d be in, no matter Man City or Newcastle did.

It wasn’t the Man City goal for me.

It was the poor game management at the end of the Bournemouth home game, when we had the thing won and instead of managing the game we just kept booting the ball up the pitch and giving away cheap free kicks and chances till they scored.

[Ian.]

We’re doing all we can, football is all ifs and buts and fine margins. It’s a long old season and the same could be said about the late win against Chelsea as the late defeat against Forest.

Instead of looking at one result I think it’s more down to not having a settled back four and missing Kamara for most of the ‘24 part of the season. It’s no coincidence that since the end of January and being able to pick a more consistent side we’ve started to have clean sheets again.

I’m sure that’s the reason for our early inconsistency, which also put huge pressure at the other end of the pitch as we were very wasteful with our chances and decision making. Again no surprise that since we’ve settled at the back we’ve regularly scored three in a game.

Haven’t I read that we’ve accumulated more point than last season? Which if true, shows it’s been a tougher ride, which is odd as the very top and the bottoms three have been wrapped up for ages.

[Dogtanian]

We are two points behind at the minute, so we could surpass it if we beat Man U.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with hitting 69 points and not getting Champions League because other teams have done better, it’s a respectable tally that would have got it in many seasons.

I just really regret a silly goal that we brought on ourselves knowing how valuable those two points would be now.
