    Can't wait for the post match now.

    Mostly influenced by CSMs like AKCJ and the other rubbish WUMs we get from their board, I'm now hoping they go down in spectacular car crash fashion.

    I think giving Hazard a Chinese burn would top it off nicely.

    If Chelsea turned up second half they were always likely to nick it, Leicester's game vs the bar codes is massive now

    They'll be expected to win that one.

    Different kind of pressure, I can see them getting turned over.

    Here's a pretty simple explanation of the run in, courtesy of Rick Skelton:

    Sunlan's final game is against Chelski, who could play reserves or fringe players cos they will have BPL tied up by then.

    Draw against Arsenal, 3 points against Burnley, and we'll be safe IMO

    We only need one more point in my book.

    - I can't see BURNLEY winning any of their games. But I can see them getting 4 draws maybe.

    - QPR will get a liverpool side that's revved up from losing to us and much better at Anfield and it might be too late for them by the time they play toon/lester

    - On paper, I don't see SUNDERLAND getting another point but as any side in the relegation fight they could pull off surprising (they have in the past)

    - NEWCASTLE will be very interesting. I think a lot of people want them to get dragged in . I expect them to stay up just about but the good thing is they are going to have to wake up just to make sure they stay up, which could be vs lester/west brom. However if they lose to Lester and WBA, then I think they'll be in deep trouble and it could go to wire.

    - LEICESTER have done enough to be considered one of the teams that could stay up but what will be rather unnerving for them is the fact they're playing 3 out of 4 games vs teams around them. They'll feel like they can beat them but those game end up meaning so much more. A loss vs Sunderland would be far worse than the loss vs Chelsea. I can see them crumble with pressure.

    - VILLA are the toughest ones to crack. They've shown fight but also shown they can sometimes be dreadful. They're ****ed if Benteke gets injured. Their run is the best in my opinion. I can see them getting a point vs everton and a win vs West ham. By the time they play Burnley it may not matter anymore.

    - WEST BROM tough run in but 37 points. Anything vs Newcastle and they'll be safe.


    I actually like our run in. We are all targetting a huge win vs Burnley but I like the fact we're playing 3 other teams with little to play for. Arsenal should beat us, they always seem to, their passing and pace is tough to cope with but I expect a point vs Spurs and Man u

    I'm worried about other teams pulling off results like ours. I reckon we'll need 36 points.

    Do everything and anything we need to against Arsenal and get the 3 points on Monday...job done.

    I predict we'll finish above six of those other seven teams.

    Amazing insight. Basically, in your mind, everyone at the bottom of the league is ****ed.

    You read what you want to read of it. I didn't make a prediction, just analysing run ins and what could ensue because up until now people are simply analysing on paper. Highlighting games that are "winnable", yet we clearly showed last night that that is a foolish way to go about it.

    If Leicester and Sunderland get turned over this weekend it all of a sudden starts to look very rosy

    Or... if we win (very likely) and you lose (very likely), you'll be pulled right back into it. <ok>

    Very true - however claiming results as 'very likely' at this time of the season is bold...

    If Chelsea win the league on Sunday a Monday night in Hull might not be Arsenal's preferred location of choice....

    And Newcastle, like ourselves 5 days ago - are due a win...

    And if we were to play Newcastle you can be sure that we would gift them the win.

    Oh we already did.

    True. You COULD beat a third consecutive superior side in a row and Newcastle ARE due a win... like they were in their last game. And the game before. And the game before.

    I'll stick with "very likely" for now though. Although the injuries we've picked up lately (particularly of Schlupp and Huth) may play a part.
