The battle for 3rd place

[CITYROBBO]

Arsenal do look very good and adding a few goals to catching us on goal difference. Sunderland and Everton at Home left for them. we still cant afford a slip up! Just hope Liverpool drop points tmw..

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Another win and we should secure top four on goal difference. Would like arsenal to get fourth over the scousers.

*If Liverpool fail to win tomorrow then a win against West Brom will secure top 4

More concerned about the West Brom game than Watford , our away form has been excellent , also think the Goons will now take 4th spot from the Dippers because our little scouse friends have history for counting their chickens , just need Ajax to stuff the scum and the season looks a little better.

Arsenal have played same amount of games as us and aren3 points behind. You hot me more worried than what i already are then

*If Liverpool fail to win tomorrow then a win against West Brom will secure top 4
*4 points for us secures top 4 no matter what
*6 points for us secures top 4 no matter what

So to confirm, not only does 4 points secure us a top four, but six points does as well?

Possibly because some think Arsenal will score 47 goals against Sunderland and even if we win both our games, which we wont if we play like we did today despite winning, we will still miss out on top 4!

Honest!

Liverpool have it in their own control but it would be hilarious to see them drop points at West Ham tomorrow. If Liverpool drop any points in their last two and Arsenal win both they will finish fourth, also Everton are comfortably in seventh (16 points ahead of WBA, five behind the scum with one to play) and it could go into the final day with Liverpool needing help from Everton to finish top four, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Koeman play a bunch of youngsters and watch the dippers miss out on CL footy

Also, if Arsenal fail to finish in the top four, we will have the longest consecutive streak in the country of finishing top four and qualifying for the Champions League, seven in a row after this season.

Yes but Liverpool will bottle it :)

Fine by me! Means Wenger for sure stays as well!

 

[M18CTID]

According to Bet365 the odds for finishing in the top 4 are as follows:

City - 1/50
Liverpool - 4/7
Arsenal - 11/8
United - 33/1

Hope "typical City" doesn't come into play....

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Be funny if Liverpool bottle it. No European football yet still can't finish top 4. Think the fans might turn on that goofy fraud Klopp if that happens.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Be good if the Hammers could do the dips tomorrow, then all will be rosy in the garden. Arse will win both their remaining games.

I enjoy a gawp at RAWK and even when its going tits up they are a cult where no blame is ever attached to the goofy one and every player is shit.

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Exactly. Dream scenario is we get top 3, arsenal get top 4 with a big fat contract extension for Wenger, rags bottle it against Ajax and I can give it out to my Liverpool and rag mates ;)

Bloody Arsenal - keep banking the CL money don't they. I'd have a flutter they'll make it. Hopefully not at our expense.
