Fucking hell, not sure how this happened after the first hour of play. Quite the self implosion from Leicester largely, but the lifeline Bournemouth needed.

Leicester's next three games are Sheffield Utd, Tottenham and Man utd. If they fail to beat Sheffield Utd it's in our hands to take it to the last day of the season, they would need a point or 3 against utd. That's to finish ahead of them. Top 5 is wayyyy more complex!

Not exactly. The following results would just about do it:
Leicester-Sheffield draw
Chelsea beat Wolves
United beat Leicester

If we won all our games we'd be guaranteed to finish at least tied 5th on points and final position would be determined by GD

They didn't finish the game off, and they don't know how to shut down teams. It can always happen!

I think the problem is us winning all our games.

Bournemouth thumping Leicester. Sheff Utd thrashed Chelsea. Maybe our recent results against those teams weren't so outrageous after all.

Anyway - come on Bournemouth, let's hope you can avoid the drop at West Ham's expense

Yep. The Bournemouth draw, while very disappointing at the time, is looking a lot better now.

Imagine if it is that point that makes them safe and relegates West Ham! ???

Exactly, asking for a particular set of results. I mean there are other combinations too. But I would say thats. complicated. I would be ecstatic to just to take to the last day, as United and Leicester play out a tactical 0-0 draw!

I mean I didn't see it coming, but it isn't really suprising either. Leicester have been a bit crap since the break. One win in five.

Bournemouth have been utter pantalicious though, how the heck have they put 4 past Leicester??

If we were to win our 3 games I think we would have a decent chance of 5th. That said Man City will probably get off scot free tomorrow so doubt it'll matter

Also Solanke's 2nd. My god. wow. They seemed to have completely imploded. Shades of the Newcastle loss a few seasons ago. Honestly, could see them collapse after this. We will learn a lot come the Sheffield Utd game.

big if. If Southampton do Utd Monday, then I could see it. Stranger things have happened, and Southampton are no walkovers. But as it is, very little room for error regarding results going the right direction.

United is irrelevant. We would need to finish above Sheffield, Wolves, and Leicester.

If we win all our games I'd say we'd be odds on to do it. But if City's ban isn't upheld tomorrow then it doesn't matter so we'll have to see about that.
