Whether they will get it or not is another matter but I for one will have no complaints if they get 4th, I'd much rather them get it than the Spuds.

I am fairly pleased with the result yesterday but angry with the performance. In truth we were hanging on and lucky to get a point. If we hadn't of got that penalty we would have lost as we were never going to score from open play.

Everything rests on the Arsenal game now. Lose that and I think that's us done for top 4, even a draw would not suffice IMO unless Arsenal fail to beat Wolves.

I personally think we have to win all 5 games to guarantee 4th but it will be tough, the next 3 certainly are all must win games.

On the plus side it's only 2 away games left now and we've won every home game RDM so long may that continue, but the amount of points we have thrown away this season is infuriating.

Norwich winning was massive because if Spuds had got that point or all 3 I don't think we would catch them as poor as they are.

Let's hope Blackburn win tonight and are safe before the final day so they won't bother turning up on the last day. Hope QPR beat Spuds at home as well.

We need to win on Sunday to secure a final spot and let the Spuds implosion continue, it WILL affect their league form, we can't afford to give them any lift at all, they are beleaguered and have been found out for the overrated team they are. In truth, they are no better than this average Chelsea team (by recent standards) despite what the media would have people believe.
 
I didn't think Chelsea were turning up on Sunday? Bigger fish to fry and all that...<whistle>

Enrique and carroll made a good decision leaving Newcastle didn't they <laugh>
 
Spurs will probably lose at qpr but then you have to fancy them in their remaining games to get a few wins. As bad as they are they will pick up some points. So that leaves you basically needing to win all your games. 2 behind spurs with 15 points to play for. I fancy them to pick up 10 points. Meaning you need 12-13 points. Your run in is the hardest left of the top 4 imo. Will be tough for you. You really could of done with a win at fulham.

Agree and we don't deserve top 4. Arsenal have been able to concentrate on the league and do

Being only in the league has helped us ALOT. Cant underestimate it. Thats what hurt us last year and will hurt you this year I expect. Spuds are just bad even when they go out of everything except the cup. So they have no excuses, they are just a poor side with a poor manager and poor fans <ok>

They were surprsingly quiet at the Bridge this year and are struggling to sell out Prem games home and away
