    I personally think we have blown top 4 in PL now. I can't see us winning both games, even though I think Chelsea will drop points at Leicester. I think we will either draw or lose at Burnley.

    I am not entirely confident about Europa either, neither the Semis or the Final if we reach it. We are in real poor form right now and if we do reach the Final I am not confident we would beat Chelsea given our current form.

    Big result last night that should clear away the bad form and put us on a good run for the last 3/4 games.

    Chavs have two tricky games with Watford at home and Leicester away.

    We’ll do Brighton and I think it could be in our hands either before, or during, the game against Burnley as I don’t think Chelsea will win both games. Burnley should be on the beach now after staying up - we rolled them over in the second to last game at home last season when Wenger said his goodbyes.

    The recent defeats have really damaged our GD. Could even come down to goals scored.

    It's frankly ridiculous that we could have a run like we have in the league and still be in a shout at top 4.

    4th will either have 74 or 72 points - which is pretty much what is needed most seasons.

    Not convinced we will beat Burnley but you never know.

    First let’s win this weekend then at least the final day could be interesting. Brighton will probably be stubborn and hard to break down as well, they know a point might be enough to keep them up.

    Still incredibly pissed off that we threw it away when it was in our hands but let’s hope there’s one last twist to come.

    got to say that at this point i'd focus on the EL - e.g. i would rest players like Laca, Kos etc on Sunday and keep them for the Valencia away game

    i'd also swap Leno and Cech around at this point so Leno's playing the EL games - or even just play Leno for all the remaining games

    i agree BHA won;t be as easy as we'd like and we'll be lucky to get even a draw against Bumley, so there's no point in risking our better players on those games IMO

    Brighton could be saved if Palace do Cardiff the night before. Even a draw will effectively send Cardiff down as they have Utd away on the last day. Then again, that should be 3 points for Warnock.

    the other clubs say the same thing. I am sure I heard that of the last 11 games (Chavs v United counts as 1 game) featuring us, chavs, spuds and united... there has only been one win between all of us. We have lost last 3, Chelsea drawn 2 lost 1, Spurs 1 win 2 lost, United lost 2 drew 1.

    Yes, we're all pretty much stumbling to the finish line.
