You know the drill. Win all our remaining games and top 4 is in our hands. But is top 3 in our reach despite Chelsea’s lead and post Covid form?
Now we know it’s (Top 4) in our hands is third in our hands?

- Start date
In our reach? Yes
In our hands? Definitely not.
Chelsea win all their games there’s nothing we can do.

But surely if we can reach it (and one usually reaches for things with one’s hands) it’s then in our hands?
Erm. We win 4 games we come above Leicester. It's in our hands.
Thats not how it works.
I think Chelsea will finish 3rd and we'll finish 4th at the end. It doesn't make much difference anyway.
Chelsea win all their games and they come 3rd regardless of what we do.
Read the thread title again.
Brilliantly timed WUM 
We need 1 or 2 more results in our favour for 3rd I think. Having a cushion going into the Leicester game would be great too.
Chelsea have to play Sheffield and Liverpool, they could easily drop points there, youd expect them to, so I think we have a fantastic chance.
Yes obviously. The question is whether or not 2nd is
I honestly think we can finish 3rd. It's a very very real possibility.
I think that's jumping the gun a bit.
Chelsea could win their remaining games, Leicester have a point over us and don't forget we could actually lose a game.
Im quite nervous about the Man City decision next week. If their ban is upheld then after this game weeks results, we are almost certainly getting Champions League football.

You must be new to this hands discussion...
We all agree it’s in our reach yes? So how do you reach for something? Do you flail a foot? Do you grip with a lip? Or does one strive to grasp things with one’s hands?
I believe if it is in our reach then it is potentially in our hands only we have yet to make the decision to grab it. Consider a cup of tea on the table, if you can reach it on the table then much like Schrödinger’s cat the tea is both simultaneously in your hands and not in your hands until an observable decision is made.
Quantum mechanics proves it’s in our hands. Prove me wrong.
You never wash your hands, you just stand there watching them wash each other really.
Apologies. Carry on.
When I seize power I'm severing the OP's hands and nailing them to a mast

Most certainly. Dunno how anyone can argue. We are yet to play Chelsea and Leicester, win both those matches along with the rest and that's it. IN OUR HANDS.
Not really.
Not really.
Will be! Chelsea ain't beating Sheffield. Quote me Sunday night! 
Let's just hope city get banned. Even though the run in won't be as entertaining we can secure 5th then focus on the FA cup.
.if they don't get banned we have a tough choice to make in regards to resting players.

Pfft good luck getting a hold of them last week they were on 5th, now 4th and 3rd is next. These hands are moving up!
Besides not sure you’ll even be able to reach them from 8th place
Fixed it for you

To reach is to hand, and to hand is to reach.Well this is awkward... 
Thats 3 so far, youd expect a draw from Liverpool and we play Leicester last game of the season too, looking very positive for us, and will have a huge impact on signings.
Its well and truly in our hands now. I didnt expect Chelsea to lose points today. I thought their Liverpool one might have costed them but this is just bliss
With Chelsea losing today, if we win out, we finish in 3rd. Feels odd to celebrate that, but considering how the season started it will be one hell of an achievement. That game on the last day of the season can very well feel like a cup final...
Hands
How many of us have them?

If United continue on their current run of form there's a good chance they'll have secured 3rd before the Leicester game. United are huge favourites for 3rd now.
That would be great. Pressure off and can prep for Europe League too
Let's not take our eyes off Monday - that is far from a gimme.
