For us to catch either would require us to win all our games (Leeds (a) wolves (h) Villa (h) Leicester (a)

and for :

1. Chelsea to lose 1 and draw 1 of their remaining 4 games (Man City (a) Arsenal (h) Leicester (h) and Villa (a))

2. Leicester to lose 1 and draw 2 of their remaining 4 games (Newcastle (h) Man Utd (a) Chelsea (a) Spurs (h).

3. For West ham to get less points than us even though they have a game in hand

4. For Liverpool to get less points than us even though they have a game in hand.

Considering our luck and form at crucial times over the past 15 years ...

Neither will I but only because I can't see us winning all four matches. If we did I think at least three of the four other teams will oblige in dropping points.

Have to say, West Ham look good for a CL place with their run in. Anyone else thinking about the nightmare scenario of us finishing 4th above Chelsea, Chelsea winning the CL and then Arsenal win the EL, meaning 4th misses out. Something Spursy to ponder.

Luckily, we don't look likely to finish 4th.

Mate, come down to the 'Season End Prediction' thread, you'd fit right in...

....but Chelsea will finish 5th and Arsenal 10th. However, both will win in the CL and EL respectively, meaning that.......





....yes, you've guessed it. We won't qualify for anything, apart from EL II, which we will subsequently lose the final of, to the Sozopol Blind School's B Team, on penalties, having squandered a 10-0 lead. Daniel Levy will refuse to resign as manager, DoF, Chairman or Club President.

How long before people get fed up with Citeh dominance of the PL? The fact it hasn't happened yet despite the £££ spent could suggest that Pep may not be the exalted one that the pundits claim. However I wouldn't be surprised if they end up taking the title four years out of every five. Frankly I'm already bored with their undeserved presence at/near the top anyway, and incredibly bored with the fawning over the team and manager which is more or less worship of money... since who believes they would be anywhere near this position without massive unchecked investment? So lets just go on ignoring the many times that Pep gets it wrong, or keep worshiping his 'fabulous' handling of the integration of Foden (who could have been playing PL football two years ago in any other team), or his other wondrous miracles. That is boring. When will others get fed up too? Because participating in a league that will increasingly be just the plaything of an oil state is really not the way football should go, and I would be very happy if they pissed off and joined their own super league, but with only a few of the worst culprits.

EDIT and seeing the past post which came in as I was writing this, how long before Citeh stop getting away with this cynical fouling?
