No. People on here are really struggling with how GD worksNo. Ignoring Chelsea completely, if we beat West Ham, Leicester would need to win by the same margin to beat us to the CL place.

No they wouldn’t. In the final game our GD goes down as theirs goes up.No. Ignoring Chelsea completely, if we beat West Ham, Leicester would need to win by the same margin to beat us to the CL place.
Exactly. They'll play out of their fecking skin. Draw all day long this.Make absolutely no mistake, this West Ham side and manager would love nothing more than to feck up our chances of CL qualification
Yeah I forgot about thatNo they wouldn’t. In the final game our GD goes down as theirs goes up.
Tbf I think everyone has a decent grasp, they're just failing to recognise that in this instance the 2 are playing one another.No. People on here are really struggling with how GD works
Completely agree with this.Let’s be honest, if we can’t beat West Ham at home with that team, then we don’t really deserve to be in the CL regardless of what happens on Sunday.
Yeah I forgot about that
Yeah it's better to get to the last 2 games fighting to get 4th spot with max points we'll get gonna be 68 than to be comfortably second with 81 points.you know what I mean. and yes this season is better than Jose's 17-18 season which we all knew was only going to get worse from then on, because this season's team is actually young and improving with time rather than getting shitter. no one expected us to challenge for the title this year
Er no, not struggling, just forgot.No. People on here are really struggling with how GD works
We beat them 3-0 and we can afford to lose by one goal to Leicester.I'm not saying I don't want to win, or course I do. And as acknowledged above a win will put us in a more comfortable position.
However, I'm not "nervous" because it doesn't really change things. The only result tonight that really changes Sunday is if we get an absolute cricket score.
Remember though, if we beat West Ham 4-0 today that doesn't mean Leicester need to beat us 4-0, they would only need 2-0.
Very prescient!Pre-match is going to be 50mins on Liverpool, 10mins on our game.
Thankfully, he doesn't read the Cafe.Glad to see Ole not knee jerking and sticking with De Gea.
Not sure why people are surprised by this. There's no way Ole would sub DDG for the last 2 games.De Geas kept his place? wow
Read something today about De Gea knowing he has no real competition at the club so that causes complacency. I say bring Henderson back and genuinely give both players a fair chance to claim the number 1 spot. Nothing but good will come from it.
I expect them to beat Wolves, but you never know. A 3-0 win or more would be ideal tonight so we can afford a defeat in the last game.Why do people keep repeating that a draw or win changes nothing, are you literally forgetting that Chelsea is a point ahead and are absolutely not certain to win their next two games? I'm pretty convinced that a win tonight will see us into the top four anyway.
yeah I largely agree w that. I mean at least we've gotten to final day with some good feelings about the future, unlike every season bar 16/17 and 14/15 I'd say. And unlike those two, I don't think these ones are unfounded. our young forward line genuinely is excellentYeah it's better to get to the last 2 games fighting to get 4th spot with max points we'll get gonna be 68 than to be comfortably second with 81 points.
Is this team has more future than 17/18 one ? Yes it's, and I'm optimistic about upcoming season hopefully, but comparing individual seasons it's nonsense to say this one is better than 17/18.
This one is on bar with 15/16 which were both poor. Our good seasons post SAF have been 16/17, followed by 17/18 and 14/15. The rest are poor. This has been a pretty poor season overall but our picked a great form by the end of it which hopefully will make us have a very good season next one.
Shameful at times we’d have no players left to play today!Thankfully, he doesn't read the Cafe.
What De Gea could do with is a functioning defence in front of him.
West Ham have a history of playing as if their lives depended on it in apparently meaningless fixtures. They have also had some decent results and performances since the restart.This team really should win but even a loss isn‘t the end of the world. It just means you have to beat Leicester in their stadium on the weekend (hard but doable) but still not being able to beat fecking West Ham at home at this stage is ridiculous.
Hopefully we trash these feckers like 5-0 so Leicester have to win by 2 clear goals or whatever, meaning they have play really open football from the get go to the point there will be space for us to hurt them and it would be impossible to not score against them.
Liverpool are on vacation, their trophy presentation today is the small glimmer of hope they will show up. Wolves will have Europa to play for on the last day, but it's the last game, a lot of these final day fixtures are garbage. Plus Chelsea are able to beat Wolves unlike us.Why do people keep repeating that a draw or win changes nothing, are you literally forgetting that Chelsea is a point ahead and are absolutely not certain to win their next two games? I'm pretty convinced that a win tonight will see us into the top four anyway.
What is there to forget about how goal difference works?Er no, not struggling, just forgot.

Remember a couple of years ago the goals away debacle on the caf?The entire Caf should be forced to do a quiz on the rules of Goal Difference and if you get it wrong you get banned.
How do people still not understand how it works?
You do realise every goal in that game is a 2 goal swing because you've to add one team's goal scored and the other team's goals conceded?We are 28 GD on par with Leicester.
If we win 4:0, we ll be 3 pts ahead and 4 goals ahead so Leicester would need to beat us by a 3 goals margin i suppose

This is so funny
We finished 6th with 69 points that season; if we end up in the top 4 and win the EL this season will have to be considered a better one. Unless the League Cup overshadows everything else in your estimation.Yeah it's better to get to the last 2 games fighting to get 4th spot with max points we'll get gonna be 68 than to be comfortably second with 81 points.

Well done, he's 13.just hope Brandon Championship-Level Williams plays on the right, today.
Yeah our form in the end of this season gives me a big hope that we're starting to move on the right track and next season will be really good. Fingers crossed it turns out to be like that next season.yeah I largely agree w that. I mean at least we've gotten to final day with some good feelings about the future, unlike every season bar 16/17 and 14/15 I'd say. And unlike those two, I don't think these ones are unfounded. our young forward line genuinely is excellent
This has been going on for daysYou do realise every goal in that game is a 2 goal swing because you've to add one team's goal scored and the other team's goals conceded?
