Chelsea game is a must win now. It’s not over but very difficult, need the other sides to start dropping points
Tell you what, I'll admit I completely mis-read it right now. I did not realise how resilient Arsenal could be. I've been very impressed since the defeat to us in the FA Cup. I'll give you that promised apology now because, even if you guys don't get top 4 (which I now think you certainly will, if not 3 given the game in hand and your run-in), you deserve it.That's perfect, thank you very much
Just did the same.Had a new go at the predictor
That included defeats for us against Everton and City and Arsenal loosing basically all their away games. Somewhat iffy was the point I gave Chelsea in their game at Liverpool based on the fact they haven't actually lost at Anfield for years
I'm not falling for you inverted reverse switcharoo psychological jinx ! We are in a good position yes, but we're still far from being locked in for a top 4 spot.

Don't take your eye off the prize when the EL kicks back in again.
Hope that keeps everyone happy, including @Mogget
That was the main point – as that was what I promised I would do in May. Take the compliment!I'm not falling for you inverted reverse switcharoo psychological jinx ! We are in a good position yes, but we're still far from being locked in for a top 4 spot. But hey apologies accepted
Palace are awful at home this season, would be very surprised if City dropped points there tbh. Who knows what we'll do against them, at the moment I cant see us winning any games unless it's extremely unconvincinglyJust did the same.
Liverpool 95
City 94
Tottenham 79
Arsenal 75
Chelsea 74
United 73
Pretty similar to yours, I only think Arsenal will beat some sides away from home simply because they're in much better form right now than mid-season.
I was probably way too optimistic about our own games though, have us winning all remaining game apart from one draw, while I had City drawing against United and Palace.
I did the same and us, Spurs and Arsenal would all end on 77 points with Chelsea on 76. Although I was very optimistic about us.Had a new go at the predictor

I couldn't see us loosing to Wolves away twice in as many weeks, it happened thoughI think Spurs will win or draw at City in the league. I don't see City beating Spurs 3 times in a row, and they could probably afford more slack in the PL than in the CL.
For sure. 6/6 would give us 79 points which would be a guarantee for 4th minimum. Maybe a draw against City perhaps, we would still get 77 which might be enough at a push. Arsenal might break 80 if they improve their away form.I had a lot of optimism for this, as my earlier posts in the thread showed. The Arsenal loss dampened it a bit but I figured that loss was coming anyway. Can’t help but feel like the Wolves loss last night was one of the nails being tacked onto the coffin.
Realistically we need to win all our remaining matches done we?
Sigh.I couldn't see us loosing to Wolves away twice in as many weeks, it happened though
And besides technically City wouldn't need to beat Spurs 3 times in a row to take 3 points and progress in the UCL
We've got too much to do at this point. Beating City won't help us because we'll drop points elsewhere. We're only gifting Liverpool the title by winning that match.So, after the previous round of results. How many would STILL take a loss against City to stop Liverpool winning the whole fecking thing?
Into the territory of having to win every game now to get CL football next season.
I wouldn't be so sure. I quite fancy Liverpool to turn Chelsea over at Anfield, particularly if they decide to prioritise the Europa League. Arsenal are a team that could drop points anywhere and Spurs are, well, Spurs.We've got too much to do at this point. Beating City won't help us because we'll drop points elsewhere.

Top four is dead for us.
We're not winning all our remaining games. I expect our rivals to drop points, but we're not going to be in the position to capitalise. It's unrealistic to think we'll go unbeaten for the rest of the season.I wouldn't be so sure. I quite fancy Liverpool to turn Chelsea over at Anfield, particularly if they decide to prioritise the Europa League. Arsenal are a team that could drop points anywhere and Spurs are, well, Spurs.
I think if United win the last 6 games top 4 is sealed, no reason why they can't. We all saw the run when Ole first came in. Just need a bit of belief and to get behind the players until it's mathematically impossible.

Do you actually see that happening? our players look absolutely blown both physically and mentally.I wouldn't be so sure.

Why not? Football is a funny game, we know what this squad can do, they've shown it for the vast majority of the last 4 months. Surely the likes of Pogba, DDG, Martial, Rashford & the rest of the top boys aren't going to fancy Thursday night trips to the arse end of Ukraine next season.Do you actually see that happening? our players look absolutely blown both physically and mentally.

At the expense of Arsenal or Tottenham?If Sarri finally wakes up, start Giroud instead of Higuain in the remaining fixtures, Chelsea still has a chance for top 4. Hazard plays his best football this season with Giroud in the field.
It’s been a roller coaster season. After that unbeaten run Emery was being hailed as a world class manager then we had a typical slump where we were written off and now we are back again favorites for 3rd. We are so inconsistent I wouldn’t be surprised with 3rd or 6th.Tell you what, I'll admit I completely mis-read it right now. I did not realise how resilient Arsenal could be. I've been very impressed since the defeat to us in the FA Cup. I'll give you that promised apology now because, even if you guys don't get top 4 (which I now think you certainly will, if not 3 given the game in hand and your run-in), you deserve it.

Can see anything from 2 points to 7 points out of that. No chance they win all 3. I'm going for 4 points (1W/1D/1L).It’s the hope that kills.
Arsenal still have to play Watford, Leicester and Wolves. All away from home.
