[freeglennhelder2]

2 spots free
4 teams in it
4 point spread
8 games remain

“If you play the game of 3rd/4th CL spot you win or you die”

whatever happens, don't finish 6th

No problem, we'll be 3rd or 4th, especially with Chavs losing today.

If that happend i wouldn't bother tbh

 

[Sniper Mik]

Looking at Chelsea's remaining fixtures the best they can probably do is 74 points. Think we can better that.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Anyone have that weighted table after this round? We are looking quite good for CL places I reckon.

 

[TromsoGooner]

Can someone explain to me what it would take for us to finish fourth and not get CL football?

In this scenario,if Chelsea finish outside top 4 and win EL.And if Utd or Sp**s finish outside top 4 and win CL.

Basically if Chelsea win the EL but finish outside of the top four and United/Sp**s win the CL and also finish out of the top four... (I think)

We'll finish 3-rd than.Emery's effect.

This race for top 4 is really the real deal. Every win now for Arsenal is putting enormous pressure on others, and vice versa. This is the time I expect teams to lose matches they'll usually win. Utd are caught out, and I expect them to drop points in 2 of their next 3 PL games. Sp**s will get help with the dodgy pen on tight days. We will start to see really harsh officiatings now.

Just keep believing, we can and we will!

Getting confident for 3rd. Chelsea throwing it

Fixture pile up could be decisive,

Man City - Minimum 11 matches, maximum 15 matches
Liverpool - Min 7, max 12
Sp**s - Min 10, max 13
Arsenal - Min 10, Max 13
Man Utd - Min 10, Max 13
Chelsea - Min 10 - Max 13

Decisive for who though. As usual, the money will talk. Big quality squads and all that jazz.

I don't get why this would be the case though (referring to the tweet).

I would fancy us ahead of United and Sp**s at the moment but they will likely lose to Barca and City which leaves them 10 games to play, if we go all the way to the final of the Europa those extra 3 games we have to cram in could tip the balance back towards them.

How are Chelsea still in the hunt? It feels as though they've been dog **** for ages but they're only three points behind us :confused:

They were quite good in the first half of the season.

Same could be said for us. We've been diabolical away from home for what seems like a century. Shocking when you remember we used to have one of the best away records back in the day.

Like I said a week ago we're a confidence team. If we keep winning we'll be able to match our rivals all the way & hopefully bag 3rd, failing that 4th.
