If we win I think we’ll qualify as I agree that I think Chelsea won’t win at Forrest. But, I don’t think we’ll win. Not just because it’s old Trafford and we seem to be cursed there. But because I have doubts about this team’s ability to get the job done when the pressure is on. Olympiakos last season, Palace in the cup semi final this season. And (if I’m being slightly ungenerous), when we had PSG of the ropes we didn’t kill them off when we really could have. PSG were at least comparable if not better side than us. But the others were not.

I think Forest have run out of energy, as was always likely to happen. They're basically MON-era Villa. Can't see them beating Chelsea, sadly.

Disagree, thought they looked good on Sunday at West Ham.

Perhaps you're right. March was always the catastrophic month under MON. With Forest it seems to have been April. Maybe they'll be alright now that's out of the way.

Forest to win 3-1, the cheques in the post.

Newcastle to draw 1-1. Walkers Nonsuch rule.

Fulham to win 4-1, Pepohlookatmei'mgourgeousola, to be sacked.

Villa to win, we sign Isak!!!.

Unlikely, I don't think we'll sign Isak.

We are down to the last round of games now and while there are still various permutations mathematically possible our fate realistically comes down to just two fixtures going in our favour. We win our ninth Premier League game out of the last ten against a team with a poor home record this season, while Forest, a team with an excellent home record and still with everything to play for don't lose at home to Chelsea, a team with no available strikers. We will do this.

And players in England now on-beach
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their medals cheap whiles any speaks
That played with us upon Saint Unai’s day.

No available strikers and one league away win since early December.

Palace proving last night that the confidence and feel good factor of winning a cup outweighs the downside of ‘partying for two days’.

Therefore I want Man Utd to lose tonight.

In the unlikely event anyone doesn't know, these are the final scenarios.

Final fixtures:
Manchester United vs Aston Villa
Fulham vs Manchester City
Newcastle United vs Everton
Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea

VILLA WIN
Champions League if at least one of the below happens:
Man City lose
Newcastle fail to win
Chelsea fail to win

Otherwise Europa League

VILLA DRAW
Champions League if:
Newcastle lose

Otherwise Europa League

VILLA LOSE
Europa League if:
Forest lose

Otherwise Conference League
