The Top Five Race 2024-25 (poll added)

[city saint]

reckon 4 points seals the deal

Next weekend’s fixtures:

Southampton v City
Bournemouth v Villa
Newcastle v Chelsea
Forest v Leicester
Liverpool v Arsenal

Bad guess.

City win.
Forest win.
Liverpool win.
Villa draw.
Newcastle & Chelsea draw.

Its technically possible to nearly guarantee top 5 in the next game week, 36.

If we win, and go to 67.

Leicester beat forrest and Villa draw Bournemouth, keeping both at 61.

Then with a 6pt gap and a MUCH higher GD, its all secure.

Did you read my post? ;-)

They don’t need to self destruct. They could draw two and win one of their lst three games and we’ll finish above them if we win all of ours.

if we win at southampton and villa lose they cant catch us,if they draw they would need a binfull of goals,,, WTF do we want with newcastle v chelsea

 

[xgorton]

2 wins guarantees top 5 but I think 4pts could do it.

City win.
Forest win.
Liverpool win.
Villa draw.
Newcastle & Chelsea draw.

If Slot puts out a shit side again I can see an Arsenal win

Southampton v City
Bournemouth v Villa
Newcastle v Chelsea
Forest v Leicester
Liverpool v Arsenal

All will drop points aside from ourselves and probably Forest

4 more wins and I reckon it’s /nd and an FA Cup building decent form for the club World cup.

I hope it’s Bournemouth at home that seals it in KDB’s last home game.

With gdm, that's a typo, not a spelling mistake. Sure as eggs is eggs.

Also a scenario where Forest draw but Newcastle would have to be Chelsea and Villa fail to win.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

So it’s not 6 points to definitely seal it?

Definitely Maybe

They’ve already liked your post.

And ‘lst’ is street vernacular for ‘last’. I’m not going to be castigated for being Street.

Yes, he’s a brilliant poster.

It’s now impossible for both Chelsea and Forest to get to 70 pts.

What about if both win all of their games though?

(I'm joking before anyone starts)

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Bit of a weird dynamic really.

If we want to finish above both Chelsea and Newcastle then a draw is the optimal result for us.

If we’re just worried about securing top 5, we want Newcastle to put Chelsea to the sword and ruin their GD in the process. We only need to finish above two out of four teams. That happening would mean Chelsea and Forest can’t get above 68 because they have to play eachother. So unless Villa go unbeaten it’s very likely that just beating Southampton is enough.

Personally, I’m all in on chasing 2nd now so hoping for a draw.
