The Top Five Race 2024-25 (poll added)

[blue b4 the moon]

A game in the sun on Saturday and then B'mouth who'll have had what 10 days off? a couple of days later with our ageing midfield....I'd love to nail the CL on Tuesday after a cup win but, if it's still on our hands come Fulham I think we'll be ok.

How weird. I am hoping for a rag’s win tonight. Needs must.

I can see a surprise coming this weekend
I don’t see all four of them winning
I think Arsenal will beat Newcastle
Forest might draw
Can also see one of villa/chelsea dropping points - not sure why but I just have a feeling

Either way we gotta be beating Bournemouth on Tuesday

1 we are better than bourmouth
2 we are at home
3 we need a win
4 I reckon some of their players will be thinking of summer moves (kerkez , hujsen) and not 100% committed

Let’s have some confidence

I was looking at the odds for City to NOT make top 5 and £10 will earn you £111.

Where have you seen this? I've only seen odds for finishing positions.

Didn't realise my post was particularly negative but hey ho.

So if Villa and Chelsea win tonight - which they will because the rags and Spurs will rotate before Wednesday, and they’re both at home - then we’re out of the CL places.

Fucking Southampton away!

I want them to draw and City to make the top 5 regardless of other team's results. It's in our hands if they draw

Trouble is, they are complete crap and we are hoping for a miracle.

If we beat Bournemouth and Fulham it doesn't matter anyway but I would like a miracle cushion 8-)

A draw will do mate.

Not expecting any favours tonight.
Pretty straight forward games for Villa and Chelsea

The top 5 race has turned into a perfect storm. What should be tricky fixtures for the others are pieces of cake now. Those dropped points at Southampton are getting more annoying by the day.

Chelsea couldn’t have asked for things falling into place any more - Liverpool when they’d had a week on the beer after clinching the title and now the rags ahead of their final.
Still think we’ll be fine. Fortunately we’d done the hard work before the dropped points at Southampton - the late goals against Everton and Villa are looking crucial now.

I hope they get twatted but are still awarded the 3 points

 

[Xhavenjoe]

A draw will do mate.

Losses or both Villa and Chelsea would be ideal tonight.
That would have us needing only one point out of our final 2 games

A draw would mean we may need a win.
The good news it is still on our own hands and villa have a poor GD.

 

[deano ou812]

I think villa will win easily enough,Chelsea on the other hand hmmm maybe a draw ..

 

[BringBackSwales]

Chelsea get dippers and rags when they are on holiday, villa get the same with rags and spurs. Questions should be being asked about the integrity of the league with situations like these

because of course, everyone knew when the games were announced before the season started, that the dippers would walk the league and the rags and spuds would reach the final of the Europa
