      We need Leicester and Utd to win today 🤮🤮. Its a means to an end. I think Spurs going to beat Utd, West have could well beat Leicester too, so this is going to be a close run in.

      Huh why do we need Leicester to win today? They are our direct competition for a top 4 place now.

      Chelsea have too much quality not to finish top 4 they will nick it for sure.

      We need Leicester to lose and go on a run of poor results to have any hope of finishing top 4.

      Draw between Leicester and West Ham and then we could do with United beating Spurs later on.

      West Ham are level on points with us and have a game in hand. We need them to drop points.
      Leicester are 4 points ahead with a game in hand.  We need to focus on getting ahead of Chelsea and hope Spurs  West Ham and Everton fall away.

      Yup these are the ideal results. Although I wouldn't mind West Ham beating Leicester as I think the hammers will fall away over the next few games with their injuries.

      I think Chavs will finish the season strongly. I'm more worried about Leicester than Spurs, West Ham or Bitters who will all definitely drop points.

      We have: Leeds A, Newcastle H, United A, Southampton H, West Brom A, Burnley A, Palace H

      Leicester have: West Ham A, West Brom H, Palace H, Southampton A, Newcastle H,  United A, Chelsea A, Tottenham H

      Chelsea have: Brighton H, West Ham A, Fulham H, City A, Arsenal H, Leicester H, Villa A

      West Ham have: Leicester H, Newcastle A, Chelsea H, Burnley A, Everton H, Brighton A, West Brom A, Southampton H

      Tottenham have: United H, Everton A, Southampton H, Sheff Utd H, Leeds A, Wolves H, Villa H, Leicester A

      Everton have: Brighton A, Tottenham
      H, Arsenal A, Villa H, West Ham A, Sheff Utd H, Wolves H, City A


      Looking at those fixtures then we definitely have the best run in. We have to play just one of the top 8 whereas Leicester play four. Chelsea play three. West Ham play three. Tottenham play three. And everton play four.

      Those three points were massive yesterday.

      When you consider everything, we have to win all of our games bar 1 to get to 71 points, which should be enough for top 4.

      Of course we wont win at OT so we need to win the rest.

      Probably the best outcome, as both drop 2 points.

      We are 2 points out with 21 to play. Far from over.

      That was a beautiful finish by Lingard. Bubbles up 1-0.

      I wouldn’t mind West Ham getting top 4. Would be good for Moyes.
      And nice to have someone else in the champions league.
      Lingard looks a world beater at West Ham though.

      West Ham got a very favourable run in so this isn't a great result for us.

      Fair play to Lingard, he was a bit of a laughing stock last season.

      That lad is on fire. Perhaps Leicester are the team we can catch.
      Otherwise Europa league it is.
      Iv come to terms with that, Thursday night is better for me personally anyway!

      Funny how they didn’t need 5 minutes to look at 100 different angles to find a way to disallow the goal.

      J Lingz as he calls himself bringing back his school boy form.

      Going off pure form he'll be unlucky not to make the euros.

      Trying to draw a positive, at least it looks like Leicester will be getting sucked back in and it'll be a battle for two places rather than one.

      Get the feeling we'll be needing 6 wins from 7 to get the job done.

      Exactly, if we win 6 and don’t make it then that’s fair enough. Have to do our own job, we can do this.

      Leicester would only be 4 points up, so definitely catchable. They look poor today and play United, Chelsea and Spurs the last 3 games of the season while we have Palace, Burnley and Brom.
