    I think we'll do it.

    I can see Forest slipping up to be fair. Let's see how they do against Spurs tomorrow.

    Man City will most likey get in top 5, so let's hope they do us a favour and beat Villa. Then it will a fight between Chelsea & VIlla for the other spot. Chelsea still have to play us, Liverpool, Forest and Man U.

    So if I had to bet right now, then I think it will be:

    Liverpool
    Arsenal
    Man City
    Newcastle
    Villa

    Anyone could put 3rd to 7th in any order and it would be reasonable at this point. I think City and Villa are certain to land 3rd and 4th and Newcastle might squeeze in 5th, but if forest win Monday and think we're in trouble.

    The Villa v Man City game is the vital one. We can’t really lose from that result

    I’d rather think of it as someone dropping points, as they’re both behind us, which is good.

    We need to turn up vs Ipswich, is the key fact.

    It will still be a mini disaster if we aren't top 5 from here.

    Chelsea play Forest last game aswell.

    Actually I think we've got by far the hardest games. Anyone playing Tottenham pool or man United is getting a free win.

    They'll play the kids.

    By the time we play Arsenal they’ll have nothing to play for in the league so that might work well. Chelsea have semis and a final to come. And worst possible scenario we’re in Europe next year. Either way we’re only going one way.

    We have had quite a few good weekends other results wise..forest losing to Everton at home, Chelsea drawing with Ipswich at home.

    We were always gonna have a bad weekend at some point, just gotta roll with the punches.

    We'll be reet.

    Villa won't finish higher than 5th. They will drop points.

    Nah, I have it on good authority that Hamish prefers sausage rolls.
