This doesn't add up to me. We play Chelsea having beaten them twice this season needing only a draw to stay in a strong position. 

Our last fixture is more difficult.

We are going to need a ruthless streak, mental and physical strength and a bit of luck to get past Chelsea. I do think Chelsea look worried when we go forward but we need to keep them at bay including Chilwell who made a difference when he came on. Needing something against a counter attacking side like Spurs on the last day spells trouble IMO

The match at Spurs is going to be tough, too, since Spurs will be fighting for a EL spot, (vs West Ham) probs - (unless Chelsea finish 5th, in which case both of them could have it).  We really need to beat Chelsea!

 

EDIT: too many permutations! :P

Ffs. That Alisson goal is up there with the Newcastle game in terms of feeling sick. 

 

Absolutely must get a result Tuesday night...

Don't forget the missed Aguerro penalty and Man Utd's pathetic display against Liverpool.

Felt gutted for a few mins then just watched Youri's screamer to win us the FA cup and all is good again.

 

Gonna try and switch off from the top 4 race until the Chelsea game - the waiting around for results is far more nerve racking than the cup final was!

Disappointing that Liverpool managed to nick that, but winning the FA Cup is a real achievement and I feel we can still take top 4

 

I said before the weekend that I'd be happy to get just one out of the FA Cup or CL but it would be a sickening to miss out of both. We now have the FA Cup in the bag so feel we're freerolling a bit now. 

 

I'm still desperate for us to get top four but at ease now that regardless what happens it's been a great season. Still want the lads to be 100% focussed and committed to top four and put the FA Cup celebrations on the back burner for a week.

Top 6 two years running + FA Cup. Not too shabby at all.

 

Oh wait. We are still 3rd and just a team we beat yesterday and our favourite London challengers at home (Now with added fans)  left to play

 

We good. :scarf:

If Chelsea finish in the top 4 and we end up 5th, will we still get a CL place because the finalists will already be in the top 4? 
(Do they open up another place, in order to replace the place for this year’s CL winner?) 

Nope. Only if they win and finish 5th does 5th place qualify.

You’re clearly a troll, nice try though

No. It only opens an extra space if Chelsea win the CL and finish 5th, but won't apply to us if we finish 5th.

And there will be 10k fans screaming them on ......

I mean if their fans are anything like yesterday I think we’ll probably need fake crowd noise. Definitely wouldn’t call it screaming lol

It's been a fantastic season no doubt. Yesterday just signed everything off. We will finish 5th at worst but unfortunately I think that will be us. Chelsea will beat us and Liverpool will overtake us too, they just have a knack of winning even when not playing well.

 

It will be extremely disappointing to be in a Top 4 place for 95% of two seasons but not finish there in either of them.

 

I think missing Top 4 will be huge for the clubs future. It really is the difference between continuing to be competitive and starting to drop back off. I am sure we will regularly be able to compete for Europe and mix it with the Top 10 but I think the last 2 years were great opportunities to get CL football in a poor league. The points tally for Top 4 is normally much higher.
