    I think 2 wins.

    can’t see Brighton winning all of their games.

    we might just need 1 win if others drop points.

    I think we might not need any more if Tottenham and pool draw ...

    Brighton could be a dark horse though. They might beat us…

    Sky saying it’s a done deal and Dippers v Spurs is more about Europa league now.

    I think it's over mate the gap is almost insurmountable.

    hope so. Might still put an insurance bet on that we finish 5th.

    Newcastle would have to lose every game like I don't see that happening although I could see pool winning every game...

    We need to keep going. More wins will come our way.
    Playing three times in a week takes its toll. Next week we'll have more energy.
    Note - Arsenal couldn't beat Southampton and they also play Chelsea on Tuesday. We'll be fresher.

    Just looked and its possible the lead will be only 3 points when nufc kick off vs arsenal. They play two more games before nufc kick off.

    Newcastle would have two games in hand at that point, but it could get uncomfortable still.

    We definitely need 72 points as myself and @Roy Munson have predicted Liverpool are winning every game.

    Brighton are doing a job job going under the radar by lurking in 8th and having significant games in hand on everyone else.

    Very real threat, and much more than Liverpool.

    I didn't realise Liverpool play 3 times before newcastle vs arsenal... means they'll probably be only 3 behind with a better goal difference by next Saturday

    Let's hope they slip up but all at are Anfield.

    Newcastle have to win at least 2 because Liverpool aren't going to make it easy.

    We need to make sure it's done before the final day. 7 points from 5 games and we are back amongst the elite. It's that simple.

    I think its all about the next 2.... I just don't see Liverpool not winning the 3 home games this week.

    Once the lead is only 3 points the 2 games in hand become very high pressure.

    I reckon Liverpool can easily drop points to both Fulham and Brentford

    Hopefully but I think they will win both comfortably and then the gap is only 3 ...

    Newcastle need to put it to bed vs arsenal and Leeds or I think Liverpool will catch them.

    Liverpool look shaky as hell today against an awful Spurs team.

    I wouldn't have any confidence in them right now.

    Spurs have hit the post or bar 3 times. Dippers aren’t special.
