Redknapp and Bent: We need to finish 3rd. Don't panic! 

[Twitcher]

What happens if Chelsea finish fifth and win the Champions League, and Arsenal win the Europa League; would even third place not be good enough?

3rd would get it, but 4th wouldn't (assuming it's West Ham, Liverpool or Spurs).

 

While it's unlikely, it's not impossible.

Redknapp also said that fourth would need to play qualifiers to get in CL. He's a few years behind.

So we'd be allowed five teams in CL?

I must be out of date as well; I thought 4th had to play a couple of rounds beforehand, albeit weaker opposition?

They scraped that few seasons ago

The result we really need this weekend is Man Utd to beat Liverpool. The fact they're virtually through their Europa game is good - means they'll focus on the Liverpool game more.

The biggest blow about tonights result is that we probably can't go weak at Man Utd away ourselves - unless every result goes for us in that time.

I'm going to be a Man U and Burnley fan until 10 pm Monday.

You are excused. But not a football pundit on TV who is meant to be an "expert"!

If this happens, coupled with Nigeria qualifying for the African Nations Cup then clause 7 in the stadium redesign agreement is automatically triggered and we swap the Kop with the Family Stand.

They sadly have a chance. It's only Emery & Solskjaer in their way.

 

That ref last night is a disgrace for that penalty. Arsenal handed the jammiest lifeline.

I would agree with you if they wasn’t so shit 

[NewEnglandFox]

That trifecta is down to 1.25%. Yet the lower the probability goes the more y'all like to think it'll come to be.

[Freeman's Wharfer]

My way of looking at tonight’s result positively is in hoping that it’s our West Brom at home result from the 2015/16 season.

 

We had a frustrating draw against a side we should have beat and then our closest challengers failed to capitalise so it actually became a point gained rather than two lost.

 

Chelsea fail to beat Fulham, Man United beat Liverpool and West Ham fail to beat Burnley then we come out of it unscathed. The Newcastle home game is one we really need to win now though.

I think we're all looking at the run in assuming any game outside of the top 4 is an easy one.

 

Leeds play spurs next week, Everton play West ham and Liverpool play Southampton. By no means gimmes.

 

I think you're right, sone funny results and I'm certainly not seeing sides that are on the beach at the moment.

3rd place is fine regardless.
