No - we only need to finish above two out of four teams (five if we include Arsenal), spreading the points will just increase how many we need.
We want one of them to win, and put a dent in the others GD in the process.

Based on the bore fest I’ve just witnessed, I’m predicting three draws, if that’s enough…

Yeah I see that
I guess arguably if you still have aspirations of finishing 2nd/3rd then a draw is the best result but I'm too much of a coward for that :)
Preferable for Newcastle and United to both beat Chelsea then Chelsea to beat Forest.No - we only need to finish above two out of four teams (five if we include Arsenal), spreading the points will just increase how many we need.

I was hoping we'd be going to Craven Cottage on the last day not needing anything. I guess that's still possible, if a set of results go in our favour. But it's looking unlikely now.

Truth be told, we don’t really deserve to get in the CL playing like we have done this season.
Big mood change from me today, could go either way now.
Before today's pathetic performance (it was and don't try dress it up with stats).
I was thinking, 2024/2025 could be a good season and calendar year with the Charity Shield, FA Cup, CWC and runners up in the league.
Those 2 dropped points and the awful performance have cast a huge shadow.
Play like we did today and we end up with a CS and nothing else!

We're still in a good position, but if we win today we go into Bournemouth knowing a win does it. Now we need a minimum of 4 points (assuming no unexpected slip ups from others).

The only part of that achievement that is worth bragging about is if we win the cupBig mood change from me today, could go either way now.

The charity shield is a friendly .
CWC is pointless bullshit.
And second in the league would have been funny to laugh at arsenal but after today no chance
Newcastle-Chelsea tomorrow, Arsenal-Newcastle next sunday, Forest-Chelsea on the last dayDo any of the other contender teams play each other before the end? I forgot.
Thanks mate. That actually helps us.Newcastle-Chelsea tomorrow, Arsenal-Newcastle next sunday, Forest-Chelsea on the last day
Surprised nobody has mentioned this.
We need 4 points. At present not being helped that Villa have Spurs and Rags last 2 games
Villa win today, they will pick up maximum points in their last 2 games and finish on 69.
They are playing Spurs and United at the perfect time either side of the Europa Cup final.
