I thought we still need 4 points to guarantee (barring a major GD swing) CL.
Yup, you're right, my bad. But in my defence I've got a shite cold and a very sore back, so I'm not firing on all cylinders!

Don't get me wrong I want things to end well. Put that in bold just in case I've been too negative and make it clear. But the way they're stumbling across the line, looking like they won't even make it there atm, is woeful. Going from 10 points clear to 2 is criminal, relegation form. And seeing the way we crumbled 2 years ago with more or less the same team, a stronger one if anything, doesn't fill me with confidence. This club is like a self-fulfilling prophecy and a lot of the time its for the worst possible outcomeI don't think anyone is apologising for the team, some of us are not pessimistic and are being positive about what we are going to achieve
No denying that some of our performances have been shit, but I'm positive that it will end well
How? A win and a draw is not good enough to pip Liverpool. Only two wins. What do I have wrong?
So many bed wetters in here, literally making things up, painting negative scenarios and calling us legends, superb stuff.
I know - responding to a post I made that said "two wins"!!!!!The post you quoted literally says “two wins”
Disgraceful under-achievement.So if we manage to throw away a 10 point lead over Chelsea and end up 5th, What would you call it then?
Why?
All they need is one point against Brighton and they're at worst in on GD. We've got two games to play, with 4 points to get.
You don't have to look you know.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.

You are forgetting Chelsea have two games left.Why?

Oh I see. Point is that we should approach Brighton as if it's three points to the dippers. It's almost certain they'll win it and that requires two wins from us. We should not go into the Newcastle game expecting a favour from Brighton. We have to win both games regardless IMO.You posted "Only if we win our last two games and they don't get a result at Brighton".
Win our last two games and their result against Brighton is immaterial.

To get third yes I agree totally.Oh I see. Point is that we should approach Brighton as if it's three points to the dippers. It's almost certain they'll win it and that requires two wins from us.

Learning curve, obvSo if we manage to throw away a 10 point lead over Chelsea and end up 5th, What would you call it then?
This drop in form really could not have come at a worse moment. Missing out on the Champions League would be an unmitigated disaster.
Have. It's have.
Are you kidding?! From the position we were in it would be a monumental clusterfuck and indicate that we have flawed characters in the team. It’s not about Wembley. It’s about character.I think some people need to calm down. There were pre-season threads about what we were expecting this season with the Wembley transition. Many, myself included, were expecting top six at best. It will be disappointing to miss out on top four yes, but only because of the position we were in. I don't see it being a disaster or a catastrophe for the club. We're not getting relegated.
