    That's the one we really need a favourable result in.

    Aston Villa showing why people were foolish to count them out of top 5.

    Villa and City are probably going to win every remaining game this season. Bournemouth away maybe villa won't but they'll beat Tottenham and Man united because they're crap and won't care because they have everything riding on the final.

    Lose tomorrow and I think it's looking very difficult for Newcastle. Especially if Chelsea beat Liverpool who probably just don't care enough having ready won the league.

    Seventh and having played a game more than the three teams above them with 3 or 4 games left. Yep, in a strong position. You keep telling them.

    Not really, depends what Chelsea do. We could stay 4th with 3 to play and two of them at home.

    And we’d still be ahead of Villa with 2 home games left.

    Wow, I see what you’re saying.

    Newcastles fixtures are by the far most difficult unless you're looking at the names of the clubs and forgetting the circumstances.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea win tomorrow and if they do that will be a huge blow.

    Newcastle need to grab the situation by the scruff of the neck tomorrow, otherwise I don't think they'll finish top 5.

    Personally, can see the Bindippers winning as they have no pressure on them at all with all the pressure on Chelsea.

    You can dress it up whichever way you want but looking at the season and recent form then the odds are on Liverpool winning. They have won 5 out of their last 6 and have only lost twice all season in the League. Chelsea have lost 8 times in the League this season and have 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last 6 games.

    For me a draw will do but prefer a Bindipper win.

    Newcastle winning is essential regardless of what happens elsewhere. They have to finish above 2 of the 5 clubs. 7 points appears to be the number required.

    Chelsea is a very difficult game, the league table tells us they're just as capable as Newcastle, the following match is one of the hardest away games of the season at Arsenal, and Everton under Moyes are very difficult to beat.

    Chelsea aren't the issue at the moment, but they play a Liverpool side that doesn't give a **** at home and they could beat Newcastle and become an issue very quickly if Newcastle don't get something at Brighton.

    Villa play two clubs who will play their kids in the last two games because their clubs can only save their season in the EL.

    Forest have a piss easy game vs Leicester after a Palace side that only care about the cup final now.

    Man City are coming 3rd plain and simple.

    We'll beat Brighton tomorrow. Oddly, we thrive on pressure.

    Brighton have lost 3, drawn 2 and only won 1 of their last 6 League games. They are not in good form presently. Now is a good time to play them. We have won 5 out of our last 6 games and are in good form. Their win was a scrape past West Ham.

    It won’t be easy. It will be a difficult game but if we play to our best then we will win.

    Liverpool aren’t going to put out a bad team.

    Draw against Brighton and win our 2 home games and that should be enough. Those results are perfectly possible. It’s just time for everyone to pull on their big boy pants including the fans.

    They've also now got some key players back since that run and van hecke is back too for Tomorrow. I'm concerned with Newcastle when they play the sides that aren't either cannon fodder or the big 6.

    The league cup to one side and they've continually messed up in these games. This is why I'm saying they need to grind out a win or a draw and grab hold of the situation. 3 of the 5 clubs will do just that and Man City appear to be the first.

    I'm pretty sure Liverpool will rest their best side. They will use the opportunity to look after key players... All worth money.
