6th will get Europe.
It's Europe Jim, but not as we know it.

Brentford beat Wham 2-0, leaving Wham 6 points behind us having played a game more - and they have only 6 games left to play.

Amazing weekend results with all 4 teams jus below us who are/were top 4 contenders (Woolwich, ManU, Wham, Wolves) all losing this weekend whilst we win 4-0, so all of them have lost ground on us.
One beautiful part of smashing teams, we gained +5 at least GD on all of them, last week as well…
 
Conte said in one of his press conferences that he uses a ‘carrot and stick’ methodology. Sometimes he chooses to dangle a carrot in front of the players, sometimes he has to be harsher and use the stick.

Carrot: allowing the players to have a few days off if they get a result

Stick: Being harsh with the players if they’re not doing so well (i.e half time yesterday)

Hooe he does it like this;

Harry “Antonio, I love golf and as we have a few days R&R can I go to the Masters please?”

Antonio “Harry, I can see how happy you are, you are fit and in a great moment, can you promise me, if you go, you will treat your body as it is here, not as a holiday, have massages daily and R&R”

Harry “Thanks Mr Conte, I promise to finish my greens this time, the 10% fine after your detectives followed me to Poundland for some Shoe Laces taught me a valuable lesson.”

Antonio “Well done, enjoy, enjoy “
 
It’s nice to be able to put more pressure on. With our superior goal difference, if we win on Saturday gooners can’t overtake us for another 3 games

And that is pressure right there.

And Conte should not need to motivate the players to treat Brighton seriously.

From nowhere it's nearly ours 10 points - done deal in my opinion.
