Yeah. I'm guessing it was the close run thing with Liverpool and someone else, probably Newcastle, in 2004 under O'Leary. I remember the year because Liverpool finished fourth and that led to Istanbul

Definitely no Europe as O'Neill's Moscow was the first run since Gregory when we lost to whoever it was after Atletico Madrid. Celta Vigo?

Edit: Not true. Forgot NK fucking Varteks. Haven't heard of them before or since.

Edit2: Just googled and Varteks folded 10 years ago.

Think Varteks have been refounded since then, there may even be 2 separate clubs.

Suddenly feeling very less confident about the outcome of today and am starting to think Chelsea are going to beat Forest

Chelsea have the massive advantage it's in their control . I think they will beat Forest as their players will step up and Forest have been fading of late and the Fat Controller has left a toxicity around the place .

Everton have got no chance without Big Ears and Branthwaite.

(Please let this post be mocked within an inch of its life at around 6pm tonight).

I mentioned when Tarkowski went off injured it would be bad for us. I actually think both Citeh and Chelsea got three points because of him being missed.

Yes. I think I mentioned that at the time too.

Nerves are kicking in. Pretty fucking pivotal in the grand scheme of things, ain't it.

Has needing to finish 5th in the league EVER been so bloody nerve wracking?

To state the obvious, the difference between 5th and 6/7th is a couple of our players having to leave.

I think we'll win, and I don't think Chelsea will. If this happens, fantastic, we'll finish top five. If not, 24 out of 27 points in our last nine games bodes very well  for next season. We're statistically the best team in the league going into today. Who would have forecast this run of results at the end of our loss at Selhurst Park?

I’m in the same camp. Forest is a tough place to go and Chelsea are poor on the road. The only thing I’ve noticed recently is Forest, instead of playing Elanga and Hudson Odie, have been putting an extra midfielder in. Don't know if that’s due to injury or tactical.

Even more impressive when you look at our fixtures. All top half teams except for Southampton and the last two games.

Newcastle 2-0, fairly straightforward.
Man City 3-1, drawing for a bit then then get a couple in the last 20
Villa 1-1, late 87th Utd equaliser
Chelsea 3-2, stoppage time Chelsea winner.
