Sat for me is the result... If we win I will really believe we can do it otherwise top 6
I thought before the villa match if we won 10 we might be in we a shout
Well we have won 4 drawn 2 and lost 1

I should add I was talking to a work colleague about West Ham and manure CL prospects... I stopped half way through and had to double check we were talking about West Ham and the champions
He said yes we are that good we are defo in the mix and had a better chance than them...

I think that we are genuinely in competition for 3rd and 4th places with Arsenal, Man City, ManU, and Liverpool [ who have a game in hand ]. Leicester and Spurs have the first two places nailed on imho.
Our two home league games against Arsenal and ManU are to our advantage and we have to make sure that we take max points from our other remaining home games too.

Dave M. I'm not certain but I think if a team qualifies for CL ( by winning Europa or CL) & finishes outside of top four then 4th place loses CL qualify place & gets Europa spot instead.

Ranieri has it right concentrate to win the next game one at a time. He said their next aim is to qualify for the Europa League.

We are bang in the mix and if we were to win sat I'd actually really fancy us....I reckon we need to win 6 from 9 probably 4 at home and we'd have to beat the goon and man Utd
Would be great if us and the mickeys slipped in.....imagine Chelsea man Utd man city and the goon not getting into the top four sky and BT would fucking implode and they've spent about a billion between them on players would be absolutely great for the game

Get Reid back, Sakho fully fit and avoid injuries and I reckon we could be in for a champions league and FA cup final.
Glorious.

I think I read that one country can have no more than 5 teams in the CL so if the mickeys and city won it and we finished 4th we'd be fucked but if one or the other wins it 4th would still get CL

Even when we've been pretty shit, over the decades, I've always fancied us to win any given match; half ironically, enjoying te feeling before reality spoils it, but half genuinely.
Now though, for the first time since 85/86, and perhaps even more so, I see us doing anyone we play, with objective reason, surprised if we don't turn up.
This season has been so rich already, that we really couldn't grumble if we went out the cup and missed out on top 4, because we've been so good.
With no ironic optimism at all, I say if we avoid injuries for this run in, then we will have more than a decent chance of doing this; I'm almost certain of it.

From an outsider/neutral perspective, for us Leicester and spurs to all qualify at the expense of Chelsea Man U and either Arsenal or city would be just brilliant
Obviously I hope Spurs fuck it all up

It would be a fairy tale season for us Liverpool, Leicester and damn it even spurs to take the top 4 over the other usual suspects. We'd best brace ourselves for tottenham winning the league. I'm in no mood to feel bitter, I'm enjoying our story too much to worry about them gloating. But apart from obviously seeing us taste some big time, I would love to see what woukd happen if those sacred clubs missed out for a season or two in the CL.

I usually hate the international breaks but I think the one coming up is perfect for us. we can hopefully nick at least a point against the scum at the weekend and then have over a week to rest players and hopefully get back ginge and tomkins

I'd be more than happy to keep our fifth spot, and incredibly disappointed if we don't stay above Liverpool, ManU and Chelsea.
But one more scalp (Arsenal or ManC) and one more place would be amazing. It really is so close between 3rd down to 6th place in the table (7th if Liverpool win their game in hand).
Exciting times.

We are going to come 3rd and we are going to win the cup.
Its going to happen.

Probably about a one-in-three chance of finishing in the top four.
Whilst some may well cunt me off for saying this however, I reckon that we'd be better off with the Europa League next season that the Champions League.
So, unless it's us in fourth with Spurs in fifth (i.e. we deny them the Champions League), I'm not that fussed about top four this season. Even if a top four finish would be a nice two-finger salute to the "respect the point" Dudley Dud.

I would still say unlikely, but of course very possible. We are up against Man City, Man U and probably Liverpool...that's a big ask to finish above all 3. Also think the cup could be a distraction. IMO most likely finish 5th or 6th.

About time Spurs...Leicester...Arsenal...City lost some of their key players for a few weeks like we have...
And we need to get a few more penalties in key games...
FFS Leicester have had 10 in the Prem so far...
