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.

We're all reactionary as fuck each weekend based on the results. Adds meaning to our our quiet, desperate lives though so that's something.

I said a while back that we'd finish 4th (behind Yanited). I still think that's the most likely outcome.

Speak for yourself, mate. I had Weetabix this morning AND did all the laundry.

We are one home game ahead of the competitors, aren't we? If we lost at Forest, (which wouldn't be a huge surprise given our recoed there even when we're good) and the others won their home games next time out, it would keep things tight.

Chelsea have Citeh next though and as illustrated in the posts above, their run-in looks really difficult added to the fact that their meeting with Liverpool will mean one or both losing points which should keep us in pole position for 4th at least.

How many Weetabixes out of curiosity? I had 3. Olof's Beard had 4 (spread across two bowls!). He is a great host, though.

I have three. Not enough capacity for four. Never thought about double-bowling though. That's the kind of initiative which can take you far in life.

Pah, Weetabix is for men that can't handle Flahavan's porridge oats.

The way our rivals are dropping points I reckon three more wins will be enough. Three wins out of the next four against Forest, Sunderland, Fulham and Spurs, and we can then concentrate on the Europa.

I decided today that I'd give oats another try. Will report back.

Four more wins would prob be enough to guarantee 4th, nevermind 5th.

You'd have to be exceptionally unlucky in any season to get 20 wins on the board and not make CL.

Three wins should do it for the final 5th spot.

Make you right my old mate. Liverpool and Chelsea play each other. Two results ahead. Probably be enough.
