If we fail to get top 4, I'm not sure what will be worse. The disappointment of missing out on CL next season, or the fucking whining that will be going on all summer on here.

But I still think we'll get top 4. Glass half full I guess.
After being 10 points in front if we do not get top 4 from here people are entitled to be a bit disgruntled it was and partly still is in our own hands, best the team pull their fucking finger out and secure double quick.

This drop in form really could not have come at a worse moment. Missing out on the Champions League would be an unmitigated disaster. Starting next season, the CL prize money is going through the roof. Instead of us continuing to build up our club, going from strength to strength it will be Chelsea reaping the benefits, getting renewed impetus where they had been on the verge of fading further into the background...

We had it in the bag. To piss it all away while on the final straight is beyond inexcusable. Let's hope it won't get to that. But if it does, we will reap a truly frightful harvest. Wish I could be a 'glass half full' guy at the moment...

Still some think we'll get 3rd ? this isn't going to end well. It's gonna end with us in 5th. Not being negative for negatives sake, spent first half of season convinced we were going to win the champions league!!

I'm just worried for those of you who think we're going to win the last 2.

It’s not partly in our hands, it’s entirely in our hands. We do not and have never needed results to go our way.

Maybe this is what was needed to wake up our players and get the motivation needed. Lets hope so.

So many bed wetters in here, literally making things up, painting negative scenarios and calling us legends, superb stuff.
We've seen a 10 point lead dwindle to 2. Being concerned about needing to pick up 4 points in our remaining two fixtures given our abysmal form is hardly "bed wetting."

Regardless of how it actually plays out, the ending of this season has been absolutely woeful. If it isn't bottling, it's certainly bottling-adjacent.

I'm also pleased with this. I want us to have the positive of having something to chase, rather than just the negative of haviong something to defend.

3rd is still very much in our hands without relying on others to do us favours from herein

4 points should see top 4 lose either match and we’ve fucked up cl footy in a way spurs only know how

I think we've all defended them so much recently with phrases such as "They'll learn from this", "they were unlucky" etc.

Bollocks. Can't hack it when the going gets tough. This is another time to prove you've got what it takes lads. Don't fuck this up. I believe we can, and will, get top 4 but the fact its been made this close still tells me this team is mentally weak.

Everyone seemed to be hoping for a Liverpool win because we have slipped up lately however two wins will see us third surely we can manage that.

So, win one game out of the two and we finish 4th, at least. Win both and we finish 3rd, simple!

EDIT: Ignore this, I'm talking shite, win both for 3rd. Depending on Chelsea's last two results we might not need as many for 4th. I blame my medicines!
