so we have

I'm confused about all the various possibilities for CL qualification...

So if Leicester win CL....the top 4 still qualify right? (I'm sure this was changed after we missed out when Chelsea won CL?)
If Utd win EL....does that take away a CL spot from the top 4?

Also, what if Utd win EL AND finish in top 4.....? Would an extra spot go to 5th place? That can't be right can it?

I did try a bit of googling but evidently am not intelligent enough to find all the answers....

The only way 4th place wouldn't get CL is if Leicester win the CL and Utd win the Europa

If we continue to play as we are I am now very positive we will win the league and possibly the double as an extraordinary bonus. Four points is virtually nothing when you are chasing a side playing worse than you. Take things as they are now and it looks like Chelsea are bottling this.

But there are obviously two things to consider. Tottenham are currently as playing as well as at any time since the 1960s, such is their dominance in games. Maintaining that level will be very, very hard. Chelsea could raise their game and even if they don't there is no evidence this season they will collapse (by which i mean have another Palace style result). They have been consistent.

I do not think of it as 18pts to play for, I only see the immediate future.



They play Saints at home, who have no game next weekend, just three days after the semi. Which may well be physically gruelling.

We play Palace away, who also have no weekend game, but with an extra day off to rest.



On paper we have the harder game, but we are the team in form and have players fresh after lay offs.

Chelsea are on 2 defeats in 3 and have hammered their core 13 players.


The immediate fixtures after see Chelsea at Everton. 8 home wins on the bounce and flying. Chelsea on their 3rd game in a week with their core 13.

We have the Gooners, in disarray, at home.



If we can have it down to a point after those fixtures, anything can happen after.

I think we'd be safe in 2nd place with another 7 pts which is what I'm looking at currently.

Thanks, clears that one up for me!

Just looked at Chelsea's last 4 games, no way will we win the title:

Middlesbrough - If they're not down already they'll need to open the game up to try and stay up.

West Bore - Safe in mid-table with nothing to play for.

Watford - See West Bore. Will mentally be on their summer holidays.

Sunderland - Relegated.


They'd have to drop the 4 points in the next 2 games and we'd still need to win all 6 of ours. Would be the worst title collapse in history if they blew it with those games to finish with.

I think if we win our last six games we will win the league. It's a tall order though.

We have a better chance of winning the Funny Adams tin pot.
We'll get second in the EPL.

We won`t win all our remaining games, 4 out of 6 games are away from home, 3 London derbies to contend with and other games against in form teams like Leicester and United.

Of course other clubs priorities can change and some may well be already on the beach when we play them. It will also be interesting to see if any teams roll over for us like they did for the Leicester fairy tale last season.

Add to that you always get the feeling there is a spursy moment somewhere just around the corner.
