Believe it or not you get an extra bonus pt for reaching the final but nothing extra if you win it.

Still very confident, those percentages with OPTA will be back into the 90’s by the quarters/semi stage. Don’t get me wrong though, 4th is and must absolutely be the target still

Is anyone else nervous about finishing 6th if we lose today
tbh.. so be it if we finish 6th. I’d be fine with that. It’s big progress from the Conte days and we’ve suffered horrifically from injuries this year and learning a new attacking style. I’d happily enter the EL and continue building. 4th would be unreal given where we were a year ago.

No, not really. We would still be 3 points ahead of Man U with a game in hand and a far superior goal difference.
I think there’s a good chance Man U will drop more points in the next few weeks v Brentford (a), Chelsea (a), Liverpool (h), Bournemouth (a), Newcastle (h).
Anyway, there’s arguably just as much chance Man U will be caught by West Ham as Man U catching us. If West Ham beat Burnley at home today, they’ll be just 2 points behind Man U.

Hardly a vintage performance by Utd yesterday. Must have the slowest back 4 in history plus Casemiro.
Everton should have got something from that. Even their set pieces were crap.

God, imagine where we'd be if not for that Chelsea debacle.
Whilst we've not looked convincing enough to be in the title race, the results around that time could've netted us easily another 6-9 points and be firmly in the mix.

I know your tongue is probably firmly in your cheek, BUT, win our next 2 and before the top 3 play again we could be only 4 behind City and 5 off the top.
City play Arsenal next too. And those two have to come to the Lane.

10-11 points behind 3rd-1st with a game in hand.
With only 10 games left we can't challenge for the title and can only nick 3rd if one of the current top three completely fall apart.

While I agree with you in general, Arsenal were 11 points clear last season with 8 games to go and lost by 5 points. So a 16 point swing in 8 games.
