If (repeat, IF!!!) those two results pan out, we'll be 7 points clear of the media dahlings plus a markedly better GD. So, in the four games each that would be left (12 potential points), Spuds would have to earn 8 more points than us. Or, if you prefer, we would need a maximum of 5 more points to seal 4th spot.Freestyler said:Chelsea beat Spuds, and we beat West Ham and i reckon were 95% there.

Very true. But, to cover my own arse, I did say a maximum of five points. If we were playing Spurs next midweek instead of the one after, were we to beat them that would in effect be six points (3 more for us, 3 less for them) and the shandy could be opened!!squirtyflower said:but if we draw with spuds only three points is needed from three gamesjimharri said:If (repeat, IF!!!) those two results pan out, we'll be 7 points clear of the media dahlings plus a markedly better GD.

I'm hoping Spurs just fall apart and lose to both Chelsea and Blackpool whilst we win at West ham and get something at Everton to pretty much guarantee 4th spot. I couldn't take it if Mancini decides we only need to play for a draw against spurs as i think they'd beat us if we did and would then put huge amounts of pressure on our last 2 games.
DEFOE ON CHELSEA
Jermain Defoe insists the lads are confident ahead of a ‘massive game’ against Chelsea.
It’s a key match in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
We need the points as we bid for a place in the top four with Manchester City now four points clear. Chelsea are still chasing Manchester United in defence of their title – although United are six points ahead of the Blues.
“We always play well against the top teams and we’re good enough to go there and win,” insisted ‘JD’, who hit his 100th Spurs goal against West Brom on Saturday.
“It’s a massive game, another one we’re looking forward to. I’m sure the lads will be confident we can win that game. It’s so important, every game is like a cup final and we’ll approach it believing we can win.”
Jermain insists that belief stretches to making the top four again.
“We all believe we can finish fourth again,” he added.
“The nights here (in the Champions League) were so special and I think it’s been a long time coming for the club and everyone deserves it.
“We’ve got good enough players to compete at that level and we showed it this season. For me, on a personal note, I missed a lot of the games through injury and I’m desperate to play in the Champions League again because it’s the best competition on a club level.”

According to Ancelotti in his press conference; Alex, Ramiers and Essien have recovered from injury and we'll have a fully fit squad for this fixture. Consider whats on the line for both teams I suspect it'll be a great match to watch.
