    Top 5 would do me to be honest. Winning a cup and qualifying for CL would be an amazing season.

    If we can finish any higher than 5th then it's just a bonus really. But priority now really needs to be holding onto a CL place.

    5th is as good as 2nd anyway really.. It's very difficult to call who's going to be the club that fails and lands 6th.

    If Chelsea and forest win this game week and villa were to beat Man City on Tuesday night I think we're looking at a very difficult situation, but at the very same time Fulham Tottenham and a city could all do us a big favour.

    Literally every game week is crucial and this one we've ****ed up.

    Not really, the difference is just under £6m in prize money. Considering we're psr hindered then this money could be invaluable

    Qualifying or not qualifying is more significant.

    Nobody cares about 2nd it's about qualifying and that's it.

    Hopefully but I don't think Everton will be easy and definitely not Chelsea. Personally I think we need to beat Ipswich and Brighton and then it should be ok.

    They just scored two goals in the last 10 minutes and so did Man City. That's not a good sign imo and by contrast Newcastle folded like a pack of cards.

    The three sides that grind it out will come through imo. Newcastle need to show they can do this.

    You probably won't be saying this by 4pm today tbh. Newcastle have never won at Brighton in the PL.
