for that to really happen, Chelsea would need to win all their remaining games, and Liverpool to only get 1 more point from their remaining 3 matches, not going to happen with Stoke and Brighton going to Anfield

Nope If Chelsea beat pool and win game in hand ,then pool need 4 pts from stoke and Brighton.

Added to that the stoke game is in middle of Roma games anything could happen in that with stoke still fighting for lives. Much rather be in our position re top 4 than Liverpool.

definitely need to change my opticians, for some unknown reason I had Liverpool on 73pts

not being funny, but most teams can beat Stoke with their reserve team. after the way they looked after their draw today after the match slumped on their arses I'm not sure they have the fight. don't get me wrong I will be happy to be wrong, but still reckon the worst will be 4pts from their 2 home games, and can't see Chelsea turning over the GD

We just need to beat Watford. Get some confidence back and take off the pressure slightly. Kane is key to this too, need him back to his usual self, everything will be questioned even more if he isn't.

Current odds to finish in the top 4 ( skybet)

Tottenham 1/100
Liverpool 1/50
Chelsea 12/1

Current odds to finish outside top 4 ( skybet)

Chelsea 1/50
Liverpool 12/1
Tottenham 33/1

I think all those doom and gloom mongers should put a hefty wager on us to not finish in the top 4 and Chelsea to finish in the top 4.

To be honest, if we thrash Watford and Kane scores a hat trick, people will be saying, oh, they can do it when the pressure’s off.

I honestly couldn't give one now. Its us vs everyone else. This whole Kane situation has royally pissed me off.

last season we finished on such a high. at last finishing above the goonscum, The Finale against man u, 6-1, 7-1 etc etc. Even losing that semi against chelsea didn't seem nearly as bad as Saturday - in that game we were the better team almost throughout but got undone by a victor moses dive and two 25/30 yard screamers. The game on saturday felt like a weak surrender, hence the mood in this place.

I don't want us to finish this year on a low. Up to the manager and players to lift themselves and smash the last 4 games. I really can't take the stress of going to the last game with champions league in the balance.......i just can't do it anymore.

Yep. We simply must secure CL before the final game. Leicester will be chomping at the bit to stop us.

We know that our squad dislikes or hates some of the Chelsea players. I think sentencing them to a season of Europa League is the perfect motivation to get back off the floor and finish the job.

Absolutely no reason whatsoever why we can't win the remaining 4 games. 80pts and a top 4 finish given the circumstances would be a great return.

Very much doubt the Leicester players give a sh*t tbh. They will be on the beach as we saw last season. With absolutely nothing to play for it’s incredibly hard to keep motivated. Even a 5% drop off is enough for a thrashing.Tbh considering Wembley anything we got this season was a bonus. 3rd and some memorable european nights is acceptable.
