The Race for the Top 4 2017

[labourRed]

yeah. It's far from certain. There was no way we were going to go on a 6game unbeaten run, especially when it mattered.

[red g]

It's off really, top four will most certainly be Chelsea, Spurs, City and United, we should clinch fifth though.

odds for top 4. As its a certainty you should pile into that 2/1

1/100 Spurs
1/10 City
1/2 Liverpool
2 Scum
5 Arsenal
500 Everton

Just accept the inevitable & hope for the probable!...makes life a little easier as no biggie if let down!

[banditos]

**** me you lot are miserable.

Pessimistic buggers you Brits. I guess that comes from only seeing the sun once a week!

**** me you lot are miserable.

Was going to say exactly the same!

Used to be good this site, now it's relentless negativity

Pessimistic buggers you Brits. I guess that comes from only seeing the sun once a week!

I still think we'll make it. Bookies still have us at odds-on:

Liverpool - 4/7
Man united - 2/1
Arsenal - 11/2

[Lecter]

Top 4 was gonna be who ****s up the least out of City, United, Arse & us

It always was gonna be that and our fixture list was prime **** up territory

Frankly I would have preferred one of the other teams run ins (with more difficult games) as there would in all likelihood have been less chance on the ****up-o-meter for us to implode

Pessimistic buggers you Brits. I guess that comes from only seeing the s*n once a week!

Most certainly Of course it's possible for us, but I feel the momentum and the steel is with the other teams, we just don't have the vagina to punch through to the end.

Come monday before the game v Watford....based on results Utd could be 3rd,3pts ahead of lfc and level on games....really looks like lfc have blown 4th spot...although it can all still change.

It's all ifs and buts though at this stage. Tonight is huge. If City win, then we'll be back in the driving seat for 4th with United still having Arsenal and Spurs to play, and Arsenal having United and Spurs to play.

LFC Run Home

Watford (a)
Soton (h)
West Ham (a)
Middlesbrough (h)

MCFC Run home

Man United (h)
Middlesbrough (a)
Palace (h)
Leicester (h)
West Brom (h)
Watford (a)

Man United

MCFC (a)
Swanea (h)
Arsenal (a)
Spurs (a)
Southampton (a)
Palace (h)

Arsenal

Spurs (a)
Man United (h)
Southampton (a)
Stoke (a)
Sunderland (h)
Everton(h)

What gives me hope is that Watford (a) Southampton (h), West Ham (a) and Boro (h) don't really have anything to play for (Boro will be relegated by the time we play them). All of these teams will want to raise their game a little bit when playing LFC - especially Watford and West Ham in front of their own fans - but a lot of the individual players will also give about 1% less in case they pick up an injury or whatever. Some of the players are already on the beach in their minds.

The WBA game a few weeks back is the perfect example. They had a go but for me if their mid-table safety wasn't secured, i think they would have had more of a go and secured something against us. I am sure of it.

With those 4 games - if we can't get 10 / 12 points we need from them, then we won't deserve to be in the CL anyway.

I feckin hate the Sunday afternoon league games after a Europa match though!!!

[frank the tank]

Hopefully United lose their next 2 games and then it is a cunt hair away....

Amazing that a Scot such as myself should be the one to become such a beacon of positivity.

So we thinking a city win tonight is better than a draw?
