Scum are where they are because they have won enough games to be there.
Not sure what you're on about, mate.
No they are up our arses because we have lost 2 games we expect to win

It's not the position I'm worried about, it's our form
No.
I'm slightly concerned that English clubs will win both European competitions.
If that happens, then 4th place in the league does not get CL next season.
It's an outside chance, but one that I want taken off the table altogether.
Psychologically I think a point against Liverpool would be huge, given that we would go into the new stadium still in the top 4...(i think)
If we can get a point at Anfield, win all 5 home games and get at least 1 point from Bournemouth/City, I'd say we'll finish third pretty comfortably.
With that said, for all of that to happen, there needs to be a seeeeeriously shift in mentality.
Can't believe we have put ourselves in this position. We should be nearly home and dry
It all comes down to if history repeats itself for Arsenal. Their away record is dreadful.Arsenal have a fairly "easy run in" especially of they go out of the ropey league to Rennes
Newcastle
Everton
Watford
Palace
Leicester
Brighton
Burnley
They don't look as leggy as us and have the motivation of reeling us in to keep them going.
United have a slightly harder run than Arsenal, having to play City and Chelsea as well as Wolves away (proving hard) and West Ham who might turn up.
I don't fancy our chances of a strong finish though. Liverpool and City away is a big fat zero.
We have to hope the new stadium has a positive affect rather than fucking us up as we're up against it now. West Ham will absolutely turn up at 120% for that game. Teams coming are in relegation battles and desperate for points.

If we lose City and Liverpool, but win the rest, will it be enough?
Hate to break it to you, but that doesn't eliminate arsenal anymore. The only way that would happen is if Chelsea won the EL as well and we won the CL, and Arsenal and Man Utd finished top 4Assuming that finishing 5th and winning the CL still eliminates the 4th place team from the CL, my absolute hope is that we win the CL, finish 5th and Arsenal finish 4th. The only issue is I don’t think I could live through it waiting for it to happen. But fuck me that would be an astonishing scenario.
That aside, looking at the various remaining fixtures of the teams involved, I still have faith we’ll finish 4th.
After a detailed look this morning I’ve come up with this. I’d say we need to be at worst 2/3 pts off 4th after City game and we should be fine. We have by far the easiest last 4 games will be 3 home and 1 away. Arsenal will have the opposite. I’ve given us 7 pts from next 4 and 10 from the last 4.
Spurs 78 pts
United 75 pts
Arsenal 74 pts
Chelsea 73 pts
I have to say as a gambling man I wouldn’t put a single penny on Arsenal in any of their 5 away games. Wolves Watford Leicester Everton Burnley. Where as we will be strong favourites in 6 out of our 8 games.
Would usually agree with this, however given we were convincingly beaten by Chelsea who had just played 120 minutes in a cup final 3 days prior, i'd say it means very little...On another note England play on the Monday which is good news. Although there’s a chance only Kane Dier Rose will be involved. On the other hand Mane and firmino have games on the Wednesday and long trips. Overall we should be more rested and prepared.
