Would think fifth would get CL. Is practically guaranteed if Bayern and Red Bull get knocked next week.
Unbeaten in our last 13 games??

With Liverpool, Chelsea, Villa and Newcastle away?
And Woolwich and City home?
21 points in 12 games now.
If you take into account the state of the Table after round 25, 4th place at 38 rounds has needed 24 points more than 4th place after 25 rounds (average of last 11 seasons; lowest +19 2015/16, highest +29 2013/14).
Villa were 49 points after round 25 so expect to need 49+24=73 points for 4th this season, although it could be anywhere between 68 and 78

18 more points needed after that Villa win. Five wins from 11 games.
Obviously jumped the gun and had a Fulham win in my pocket. We’ll be grateful for fifth becoming a CL spot at this rate.Just 5 wins needed for 18 points.
3 points a win.
Both us and Villa have been averaged 1.7 points a game over the last 10.
We’ve now got arguably our hardest run of 6 games this season. So to keep up that 1.7 would be a very very decent return.
Would take us up to the 71 mark too.
Huge NLD coming up. The current form team of the league against a team conceding goals for fun.
Fans really need to turn up and put real pressure on woolwich. That happens home win incoming……… early goal(s) for Woolwich. Doesn’t bear thinking about tbh.

69 points will guarantee 4th.
I think we will get 66/7 maximum and it might be enough.... just.

If we got to 71 points that would be staggering. I just can't see it.
3 wins. 2 draws. 1 loss.
4 wins 2 losses.
2 wins 2 draws 2 losses maybe?
For me NLD is the key. If we win that I think we carry momentum. Get turned over in that and I see max 1 point from city, Liverpool and Chelsea games.
Agree with that.
It's most definitely a game where we will miss Kane, and also where Richarlison must start if fit, just for the added physicality he mighy offer.
If not, our forwards will make no impression on Saliba and Gabriel.
A draw would serve its purpose.
Good news, I have city winning the league by a point.
Bad news, I’ve got us finishing on 67 and fifth. 3 points behind Villa.

I agree 67 is probably about right.
Woolwich: Probably lose, possibly draw
Chelsea: Probably lose, possibly draw
Liverpool: Lose
Burnley: Win
Man City: Lose
Sheffield Utd: Probably win, possibly draw
So six points, possibly seven (or eight if we're lucky), but I can't see any more than that.
I can't see Newcastle and/or Man U winning all of their remaing 6 games, so assuming they lose at least one then six points should be enough for 4th (maybe) or 5th (most likley) . As for GD, we should be OK over Man U, but with our lot in full capitulation mode who really knows what will happen against Woolwich, Liverpool and Man City? What is virtually certain is that we will be behind Villa and Newcastle on GD so we'd need the extra point.
Edit: I've just seen that Man U play Newcastle so they definitely aren't both winning them all. And Man U have to play Woolwich too. Newcastle could win all six of theirs though if Man U roll over.

We'll probably just about get 5th. That'll be thanks to Newcastle having a poor start and united also being a shit show rather than us being brilliant. We'd get embarrassed in the champions league imo. Levy enic won't do what's required to get us to the level required to compete but they'll just be happy to get their 8 champions league games for their revenue.
I would take that now all day long
I agree, apart from the CL money; it will be useful for PSR and being in the CL may allow us to attract some decent players (well, assuming Levy is prepared to put up enough to pay for some decent players). As far as getting embarrassed in the CL? Quite likely, but let's at least try.
This thread really highlights our drop off.
In a two horse race with Villa something has gone seriously wrong.
Players performing under pressure?
The fact we just had more difficult games?
A feeling after Villa it was ours to lose seems a long time ago.
This alongside our drop off in goals scored probably most worrying factor to me.
3 games to get to 66 points and 75+ goals scored. That has to be the target now.
