We need 4 points. Anything less than that and you are leaving it in the hands of others. Bizarrely, if United draw at Chelsea and draw at home v Villa then two points would probably do it! I will be shouting for United in both those games.

I wouldn’t build your hopes up on them useless bastards winning games. They are hopeless.

The only scenario where we could miss out after reaching 69 points would involve us finishing below Villa on GD, which would require Villa to win their next to games by a minimum of 19 goals.

Cheers mate, that’s what I thought (but hadn’t worked it out with the same precision as you ;-)

We will likely be 7th by the time we play Bournemouth. Thats when arses will really start flapping.

We will play Bournemouth in that 7th place 3 days after a cup final which might have gone to extra time / pens with all the cup final emotions - with our Dads Army that can’t play every 3 days !!

Fucked it up yesterday.

Are you speaking in your capacity as a ‘legacy fan’?

2 places for Conference League mate if Newcastle get top 4.

League Cup winner gets a place.

England will have 10 places in Europe next year with United/Spurs winning Europa and if City win FA Cup.

That’s not correct.
England gets one place in the Conference League irrespective of any other circumstances. Assuming Newcastle get a CL or EL place, the one Conference place drops to the next team in the final PL table that’s not qualified for CL or EL.
 
The only consolation is that Chelsea lost.
Edit. Oh wait the foxes have equailized…….hope for us yet.
 
no way this Forest getting 6 points vs WHU and Chelsea. they overperformed even if they end up 6th or 7th. next season they face reality ad find out what this squad worth when they have 8-10 EL games on top of usual schedule. wont be nice for them lol result wise.

its sick already relegated Soton and Leicester puts up so much more fight and integrity than the two fucking loser Spurs and rags. no way any of those deserve CL revenue next season.

An incredible prophecy. You posted it less than an hour ago and it is already impossible.

That has to be some kind of record?

Shockingly bad management today. No excuses if we fail to get into the top five after that. It's all down to Pep's selection and tactics. Really disappointing to see such unnecessary experimentation in a crucial game - not for the first time either. He cost us a CL trophy doing exactly this.

He is the most risk-averse manager ever ....
 
Forest are done now imo.

Unfortunately Chelsea and Villa have United and Spurs on Friday. 2 worst sides in the league at the moment.

A win v Bournemouth gets us top 6 minimum. It could get us top 5 if one of the above 2 do slip up.
 
For all those saying Villa are guaranteed 6 points, Chelsea will beat the rags, Newcastle will beat Everton... how many would have predicted us and Forest to drop points against Southampton and Leicester this weekend?
 
One more win will do it. Given our superior GD, FOREST can’t overtake us if we beat either of our last two. Fulham may be the patsy.
PS Forgot about Villa. 4 pts needed to be certain.

So one win and a draw.
Win the next league game at all costs!
I think the final will give us an idea of how the run in will go.
If we’re fired up we’ve got a chance.
If it’s like yesterday we’re fucked.
 
I’m not sure Forest dropping points changes much. There is now a possibility they will have nothing to play for in that Chelsea game if the drop points at West Ham.

You’d have to fancy Chelsea next Friday against the useless rags and Villa against the useless Spurs.

I still think we will need 4 points.
