The battle for 4th place

[abu13]

The key as I have said for a while is we keep 3 points clear of United going into the last week after we play Arsenal.

They then have 2 matches and we have 1 and a vastly superior goal difference and then it is in our hands not theirs on the final weekend.

Give them the sniff of winning the last two to pip us to fourth by being - say - just 2 points ahead and we lose control and may miss out whatever we do at Swansea.

Unless United drop points in their next two (as they might) the only way we can do this is to get 4 points minimum from our next 2 games. Get six and it may not even go to the last Sunday which would be nice.

Either way Southampton is a must not lose game, but one I think we can win because they will play openly and go for goals but can be got at round the back.

Pick a team with that in mind, we win. Pick a team with Real Madrid part 2 in mind and who knows?

And if United drop points against Leicester it might not even matter if we lose so in that case we should go for it all the more.

I agree, the maximum we have is 6 games remaining this season, fuck it we just have to play our best 11 for the next 3 and see where we are sat. If we get into the final of the CL then I couldn't argue against resting key players but lets see what happens and enjoy the ride.

I reckon 4 more points for us will see us get top 4, that would give us 9 point more than the rags currently have with just 12 points for them to play for. I cant see them getting wins against all of the three teams you have listed above.

What's best
Finish 4th with Arsenal 3rd or finish 3rd with Rags 4th

3rd as it means we have qualified and more merit money.

If Leicester play like this next weekend at the swamp I will be very happy.

We'll beat Arse and this shite Swansea side I'm watching now and grab 3rd spot.

6 games left, lets just win them all, its what we normally do.

I don't want them Rag fuckers in the Champions league, i'd take fourth now if it meant they miss out.

If Maureen goes there I don't want them attracting players fro the top tier.

It is vital they don't finish 4th.

Leicester may beat the rags meaning all we need is 4, or even west ham away could be tough as well for them especially with the atmosphere given that it will be there final game in that stadium

I'm not expecting too much from Southampton, a draw at best, we should win at Swansea if we need to, the Arsenal game is the cruncher.
