I like the positive posts here today, and it's not too much of a stretch for us to have CL qualification ALMOST back in our own hands after Thursday. We need 3 things to happen (that are not in our control)

Man City get Euro Ban for at least one season (find that out tomorrow, so if not the CL dream is over for us)
Burnley beat Wolves on Wednesday
Leicester and Sheffield draw on Thursday

Now if we get 9 points from last 3 games we will get 5th place AS LONG AS MAN UTD also beat Leicester last day too.

Obviously we need 3 wins, which is not that likely given our form, but all I'm saying is that it is almost in our own hands.

(I assume Wolves and Sheffield don't win final two games by 10 goal margins or similar)

Dont do it to yourself

I think City will win there CAB appeal tomorrow.. Emails were obtained ilegally & presented As evidence in isolation & not full relay of conversations.. It will be top 4 in CL

I hope they do win it, then we can blame corruption and not our own demerits for missing on CL footy next season.

We could easily overtake Leicester. They have fallen apart and face Man UTD, Sheffield UTD and us in their last three games. Soyuncu is banned too. Makes me sick to think that we could be even closer had we note ballsed up our match vs Bournemouth.

It’s not unthinkable we finish 5th - stranger things have happened. Run the fixtures and the results and it will be closer than you think

Actually think we'll beat Leicester and Palace.

It's the Newcastle game I think which is the toughest.

Win that and we've a wee glimmer of 5th.

yeah. but maybe the reason Bournemouth were so motivated against Leicester today was because of that point they managed to win against us.

It would certainly have looked different if we had beat Bournemouth and let's say drawn against Sheff. It would have been well on at this point. But at least nice to set ourselves up again to have our hopes dashed all too soon. I won't be disappointed if we don't get it cause its so improbable and ive already made peace with it so to speak, it's just a nice thought before the end.

City's appeal has been approved.

5th doesn't get CL.
