You and the others need to get real then. Crazy to think we'll breeze past another PL club away - have you forgetton Southampton so soon? And we'll be without Kova again.

Rodri > Kova though

And seeing Rodri and Nico G together, I started thinking what would a midfield of Rodri, Nico, Foden, and Grealish look like when all 4 were functioning at their best?
 
A point to guarantee regardless but also all we would need is Chelsea to fail to win againdt forest and our result and all others becomes irrelevant, forest can't finish above us without a 14 goal swing which isn't happening so if they take any points off Chelsea. They also can't finish above us and that guarantees us at least 5th even if we lose. Expect villa to smash united, Newcastle have a potentially tricky game against Everton but it's one I expect them to win fairly easily in the end.

Opta reckons 96.8% - ridiculous, a significant chance we get nothing at the cottage and three out of the other four below win and overtake us.

Is this one of the books Luce Irigaray and Sandra Harding quoted in their "brilliant" critiques of mathematics and science.
 
We've been low key one of the best sides defensively in Europe since the last international break. The stats back it up.

Had we not had that bozo goal last night that would have been 7 clean sheets in 11.

Either way, 6 in 11 is still decent.

When we have conceded, we had not conceded more than one goal in a game in 11 as well.

That's title winning defence form.

It's a positive going into the CWC and next season either way.
 
Chelsea go to Forest and park the bus they'll win if they go there with a high line open football they get a draw at best

15 points behind Liverpool at the moment, if the team hadn’t had that meltdown in November and December the title race could have been a different story.

You look at the depth of bench last night with the likes of Bobb and Ake returning there’s the nucleus of a good squad with whoever gets brought in during the summer.

It's not that unusual for a 24/1 win is it - I mean what are the odds?

Nope, although I’d like to think we will beat Fulham anyway. I reckon Forest will beat Chelsea too, then you’ve also got the potential of hopefully the scum losing tonight and then being at home final day putting in a performance that at least gets some form of result against Villa. Can’t see Newcastle struggling to win.
 
Any of the following happens we are through.

-We avoid losing to Fulham
-Forrest win or draws against Chelsea.
-Aston Villa fails to win
-Newcastle fails to win

If we are struggling on Sunday Forest seem the most likely to save our skins. But I think we will get the point we might need.
