The Top Five Race 2024-25 (poll added)

We will be 7th when kick off against Bournemouth.

Seems like you might need to change your username to False Prophet of Doom, unless Forest can put 13 past the Hammers!

Lucky break with Forest dropping points

Not luck, pressure tells, and this tome of the season results become unpredictable.. Said before the Villa and Everton games 67 still think 67 does it.

 

[waspish]

Away last game of the season is always hard but to this Fulham side who can play football keep the ball means we have to beat Bournemouth

where it at? anyone with the calculator out?

They only need 12 tbf, as they’ll then have scored more than us.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Need a scouse win now.

4 points needed based on our GD.

We need four points to be almost certain
It would take a huge goal difference swing for us not to qualify

 

[117 M34]

If either villa or chelsea lose or draw on Friday night, a win against Bournemouth on the Tuesday and we are good.

Missing Arsenal, get beat here and they're getting dragged into this.

Could feasibly need to beat Southampton on the final day to secure CL.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

If Villa or Chelsea fail to win next Friday then a win v Bournemouth all but does it.

 

[dickie davies]

3 points and the gd now with the forest draw.

Villa and Chelsea can both reach 69 points

 

[xgorton]

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.

Maybe 6th but impossible to be 7th with our goal difference over Forest.

Yeah my bad, I miscalculated

 

[pavelsrnicek]

The forest result doesn’t change anything other than make it extremely unlikely Forest qualify. Realistically Arsenal are there as they won’t drop points against Southampton, so it’s 4 teams fighting for 3 spots.

We have to assume both Chelsea and Villa get 69 points. If Chelsea need to beat Forest last day, I would expect them to. If we get 4 points we’re there. Anything less and we require favours and both Villa and Chelsea have gimmes against United while Villa also have that joke Spurs side.

 

[Marvin.]

Where would Forest be without Gibbs-White? Forest would be an ordinary team without him.

4 points for City will do it.

Forest were winning when I posted earlier.

Yes but teams drop points where you least expect it in these run in games, as City have benefitted from over these past 10 years. As we've seen yesterday and today. So yes 4 to be certain but probably 3 or even 2 would be 90% certain

When you posted with supreme confidence that we’d be seventh after next weekend, you mean?
