It going to be a mad April. Virtually every team in the PL has something to play for bar Villa. No easy fixtures with teams dreaming of the beach till May IMO.Everyone really thinks all these teams below us are going to win every game
Yep win next two and they go ahead on GDLose to Newcastle and we're fecked

Yeah not ideal to head into break from Premier League for 3 weeks with 0-0 drawPeople try to downplay the worry of other teams catching up, and mention how other teams will drop points.
However, you need to understand we are still in three competitions and without our best player for four games (three in the PL). We only need to lose two to swing this to us being out of top 4.
We have also been playing sub-par football for a while now because the team is really tired. The international break will not help as most of the team will be playing for their national teams.
Yes, we have a advantage in points, but the tens chasing us have an advantage of less games, fresh legs and lack of absences to their key men.
This isn’t the time to be dismissive.
We also have the worst GD in the top 6. This doesn’t give much confidence.

You’re consistent at least.Lose to Newcastle and we're fecked
We are barely scoring goals as it is. There's 5 team with more goals scored in the league - we have a similar amount as Brentford.Wrong
Whether its a "good point" or a bad point, its still just one point and it came in what is on paper our easiest game left this season and draws Newcastle and Tottenham two points closer when we still have to go and play them both on their grounds.A draw with ten men for over an hour - good point.
Just an incredibly negative way of looking at it. Crack on.Whether its a "good point" or a bad point, its still just one point and it came in what is on paper our easiest game left this season and draws Newcastle and Tottenham two points closer when we still have to go and play them both on their grounds.
What are we supposed to do exactly when the game got ruined almost at the very beginning?Whether its a "good point" or a bad point, its still just one point and it came in what is on paper our easiest game left this season and draws Newcastle and Tottenham two points closer when we still have to go and play them both on their grounds.
I will take the point,however wish we coped with ten men better. Different circumstances to Palace one as were leading and could bring Sabitzer onA draw with ten men for over an hour - good point.
Agreed. Some days stuff goes wrong. It could easily have got worse with Ward Prowse channelling his inner Beckham today.A draw with ten men for over an hour - good point.
It's certainly not comfortable, but it's without any doubt in our hands to come 3rd from here.Top four is comfortably in the bag.
Look at the remaining fixtures. Spurs have still got to play Liverpool and Newcastle so they will take plenty of points off each other.
It will be United 3rd Newcastle 4th Spurs 5th and Liverpool 6th.
It really isn’t that surprising. Only bedwetters are panicking about this right now.William Hill Odds to finish in top 4.
Man utd 1/10
Spurs 6/4
Newcastle 7/4
Liverpool 7/4
Brighton 6/1
Chelsea 33/1.
Surprisingly we are very short odds to make it.

Brighton look value at 6/1 with their games in hand. Chelsea should be more like 66/1 rather than 33/1.William Hill Odds to finish in top 4.

It's well in our hands at the moment.It really isn’t that surprising. Only bedwetters are panicking about this right now.
No-one is saying it's guaranteed 'literally'. And you know that.Why do those that think we're already guaranteed top 4 even bother posting in this thread? Should be at the bookies putting their house on it instead.
Chelsea will be pushed back to May IF we get through next Sunday,Fulham certainly won't be as poor as today that's for sureIt's well in our hands at the moment.
If we drop a few more points though, and then late April face Tottenham A, Chelsea H back to back, needing say 4-6 points it could get real very quickly.
Trying to spread some decent mentality into fans who are scared of Spurs and Newcastle.Why do those that think we're already guaranteed top 4 even bother posting in this thread? Should be at the bookies putting their house on it instead.
Will feel very different IF we can get out of St James's with draw,then need to beat Brentford and Everton at homeTrying to spread some decent mentality into fans who are scared of Spurs and Newcastle.
That's good, split those 2 games up a bit.Chelsea will be pushed back to May IF we get through next Sunday,Fulham certainly won't be as poor as today that's for sure
Said in the post match thread other night that IF we had won 6-1 he would make more changesThat's good, split those 2 games up a bit.
But yes, we'll have to be a lot better at the weekend. Ten Hag will have to get his line-up right on Thursday. It'd be unthinkable not to at least start Maguire & Lindelof.
If he doesn't trust them for a fixture 3 goals up, it really will speak volumes.
There were definitely more goals there. But never mind, it's where it is, and at 1-1 we'd all have been delighted at the outcome.Said in the post match thread other night that IF we had won 6-1 he would make more changes
Seeing your post history I don't think you have confidence of waking up in the morning after you go to sleep.
In the last 6 games how many points have Spurs and Newcastle gained on us? They haven’t gained ground in any way. Spurs have by 1 point.Ooh stuff just got real didn’t it? I was too focused on dreaming of catching the leaders and suddenly we’re in a race for top 4, which was looking fairly comfortable. Newcastle and Spurs have made up good ground. Bit squeaky bum now, especially without Case for the next 4
I’m not sure that form guide supports your point in any way really. We’ve been pretty poor in the last 8 as that shows and yet we’ve only lost out to Spurs by 3 points? Hardly anything to be scared of.I know posters have already reassured me that top 4 is done and dusted and you get mocked as a bet wetter for questioning it but I still don’t think it’s cut and dried already. We’ve got more games than anyone else, injuries racking up, suspensions, lack of goals, just 12 points from our last 8 matches from what I can see.
it’s going to be a tough end to the season, hope we’ve got it in us to get back on a run and bag some early points before may.
