It is hard to predict what will happen, I doubt that both Chelsea and the Spuuds will win their remaining games, but given Burnley's recent home form and our sh|t away form in the league it is unlikely that we will go there and win
Brighton are safe now so hopefully they're on holiday mode tomorrow, and Burnley already looked to be yday against Everton.
I don’t think we’ll make it. It’ll probably be Chelsea. Man U got easy games so they can’t be totally discounted if us and Chelsea feck up the slightly trickier fixtures we have. But we have to go for it in the league until it’s over. Europa is not a given at all
I reckon the easiest to call of the contenders is Manu. They will win their remaining two games and end up with 71 points and circa +18 goal difference(GD)
Next is Spurs. I can’t see them getting more than a draw against a resurgent Everton without Son and Kane. So I will put them at 71 with their current +29 GD- meaning they finish above Manu.
I think Chelsea will beat Watford and get a draw against Leicester. This will means they get 72 points with circa +24 GD- so finishing above Spurs and Manu.
Nothing less than two wins will do for Arsenal and that will get us third or fourth depending on GD to Chelsea. Anything less and we will finish sixth- as the pundits predicted at the beginning of the season.
For me, the Everton game was the acid test, and we failed like miserable dogs.
I didn't quite anticipate how bad the other teams would be though. However, I'm still reluctant to give these cretin players any more of my faith they ain't winning the last 2 games.
Would much rather see how we throw away the Europa
Just goes to prove how costly the last minute penalty miss against Spurs was. I said at the time that it may cost us entry to the CL and it looks like I may be proved right.

No; you would have taken a draw if offered for that game.
The result that may cost us a CL place remains the loss to Crystal Palace. Nobody saw that coming.
