Suddenly that last home game to Liverpool doesn't seem so daunting.

Chelsea wouldn't be daunting given their record since Feb started.

We have a remarkable chance, if we do this right we can actually afford to look hard at the last 2 fixtures of the season and not be right up against it.

Liverpool are falling away and a new manager at the end of this season is nailed on, Chelsea inconsistent, Manchester Utd look far from being a top 4 side and yes you could say the same about Villa but hopefully we've had our bad patch and out the other side.

Its down to us it can be done.

If ANY English club draws one more game in the Champions League, Europa League or Conference League game, the Premier League will earn an additional Champions League spot! The entire Premier League top 5 would qualify directly for the Champions League. https://x.com/TouchlineX/status/2035280252826513660

Wait a minute, I thought this was supposed to be a done deal already.

Looking at Chelsea's and Liverpool's remaining games, win tomorrow and I'd feel pretty confident.

I'm hoping that the loss to Chelsea/Manure is like the one to Spurs two seasons ago. Looks like we fucked it to our closest contenders and then we start winning and staying ahead as others screw up.

Would love to see us hit our highest points total under Emery, 15 more points might be a stretch. Our squad on paper today looked very strong, only Lindelof missing.

I'll confess to thinking we were more likely to miss than make it after Chelsea, but think we're strong favourites again now. Let's go on a mini run and get it done before Liverpool.

After weekend I firmly believe we're 3 wins away from being guaranteed top 5 and CL.

Yes I had a look 15 mins ago and came to the same conclusion. Based on today's performance and getting Youri back, I think we will do it.
