Will we qualify for the CL?

[Dogtanian]

Man City will do Bournemouth by at least 4 goals.

No, I don't think they've got that in them, but they'll spunk a late win.

The Bournemouth keeper will be sent off for handling the ball just inside his area.

After Friday's games concluded, we're down to only 6,561 permutations for the Muskahound Supercomputer to ponder.

This leaves the following percentages of all scenarios for our finishing place:

2nd   0%
3rd    8.5%
4th    18.5%
5th    25.1%
6th    38.0%
7th    9.9%

So 52.1% of all permutations see us get top 5, versus 47.9% missing out. Still a coin toss, but up from the 33% before kick-off.

This is assuming all results have an equal possibility, not factoring in likelihood of say Newcastle beating Everton.

I’m very conflicted on whether I want Forest to win today or not.

I was edging towards wanting them to win, but now I’m picturing us narrowly winning at Old Trafford in the 88th minute, with Forest Chelsea level and Forest knowing only a win would get them Champions League if Man United could equalise, so throw everyone up front and Chelsea break away and score.

[Dogtanian]

The thing is, will Forest play better with no pressure on them and Chelsea under pressure? Or will Forest be on the beach?

I will settle for a win at Mould Trafford. That would be something to celebrate all on it's own.

[Dogtanian]

If Man U win the cup and get Champions League and Man City lose to Bournemouth, I bet a lot of the crowd would be happy to lose to us and we both get CL over their bitter rivals.

i doubt they will want to finish on a whimper in front of their own fans and with the context of what happened in their previous home game i think they will be up for it

Indeed, if we do that and the cards don’t land in our favour then so be it.

I reckon they'd lie down and have their tummies very much tickled

[LeeB]

We'll end up 6th, reshape our squad as a result, then they'll apply the ban to City at the end of the summer and we'll be in the Champions League with a weakened squad.

Hoping for Forest to lose today and win next week.

Hoping for Forest to win today and win (or draw) next week

Hoping for Forest to win today and win (or draw) next week

Which will put them back above us if we don't get something from the last game.

Which won't matter when we win at Old Trafford.

[cdbearsfan]

Want Forest to lose, we need as many scenarios in our favour as possible in play in the last week. Forest defeat today opens up the chance of finishing top five with a draw next week. A Forest win also means we still haven't even secured Europa League.
