I expect we'll be fifth.
We actually have a pretty easy run in, and Newcastle will fall away. But Dippers will pull clear of us.

It'll be a miracle if we can snag 4th from Liverpool at this point. They will feel very confident now going into the rest of their season.
If we can win the next four, which is more than possible now we are back to once a week, we should be in a v strong position
If the barcodes win their 3 games in hand then they go 2 points above us. 2 wins and a draw and they will likely go above us on GD.
Other than them it is entirely in our own hands to get top 4.
Pleased to see us win today - and Liverpool lose.
Top 4 is pretty much ours to lose now - although we don't have much of a lead so the next 4 matches are important as they are definitely winnable.
And going forward , other than one week, its one game a week which is where Conte showed he could win from last season (with one game a week, players always well rested between games)
So as of today we are on 48 points from 27 games
- One point behind ManU who have a game in hand
- Six points ahead of Liverpool who have a game in hand
- Seven points ahead of Newcastle who have 3 games in hand
- After Brighton, Fulham and Brentford., Chelsea are ELEVEN points behind with a game in hand (and only TWELVE games to make up the difference, so now really difficult to have any chance to do that).

True
But Newcastle have 41 points from 24 games so far this season - an average of 1.7 points per game or more likely to get 5 points from 3 games than 7 !.
So we really need to win at their place or at least draw !
And I much prefer to be in Spurs position with points on the board rather than Newcastle with games in hand !
Too early to compute ‘ in our hands’ IMO. That’s with four or five to go…. But four wins ramps up pressure on others.
Nothing suggests the Saudi scumbags will get 7 from 9. Still think they are shit
Wide. Open. Again.
Just when I give up hope, I get pulled in again.
It’s the hope that kills.

Can't wait to see us lift the top four trophy again, going to be a day I will never forget.
30 years from now I will say to my (possible) grandchildren, in the year of 2023 we qualified for 4th place and took home the 4th place trophy and I went on a go kart.
I was going to watch Beyonce but the day I booked for the concert got cancelled for some reason, something to do with not having permission to host it, I don't know, anyway, such a small insignificant detail when considering the amazing accomplishment of 4th.
Ahh, good memories.

In our hands. Let's see if we have the cojones.
Brighton, Newcastle, Liverpool, Manu and Brentford. We get to face all our competition. These will be fun games.
we should be heavy favourite from here. the worry is that cunt in the dugout. hes the only one who can fuck it from here and i wouldnt put it past him. its actually a disgrace if they cant get it because everyone else is pretty shit, we have the squad to do it but the cunt doesnt use it well enough.
The fact we are still in the top 4 race is shows what a bizarre season it has been.
Who would have predicted the ladder as it stands.
We are in with a decent shot, but like Pool, we are so inconsistent.

We're re-defining weird atm....
On one hand..... Angry fanbase, major OUT vibes for the manager..... Fortnight from hell, results and performance wise..... Faction of fans accusing the others of having low standards yadda.... Shit, under-invested squad.....
On the other...... 3rd highest goals scored in the league, top of the form table in the league.... Potential back to back top 4 despite being the 6th/7th richest club in the league...... Skipp, Sarr, Porro, Udogie to get excited about......
