The Race for the Top 4 2017

[BigChief]

A good thing, cant wait for it to be over and we'll know by the end of this weekend. Despite the **** home form we'll beat Boro in a European type atmosphere if we have to so beat West Ham on Sun and we'll get there. But drop points there and Arsenal win their two beforehand and we are completely ****ed, their last 2 are basically byes v one of the worst sides in the leagues history and anyone who thinks Everton wont fix on the last day if they can screw us is frankly an utter moron. Really dont fancy us at West Ham though so praying for a favour before then.

Can understand the nerves, I was thinking the same not long ago. But with Lallana and Studge back we should have beaten Southampton and they can make the difference against West Ham.

It's West Ham's last home game. Considering the issues they've had at home this year and the fact Bilic was under pressure a few weeks ago, I think they'll have a go at us, which should play into our hands.

They are in decent from though, 5 unbeaten, so the downside of them having a go is they could potentially beat us and we'll be the ones hoping for a draw.

Southampton Away and SUnderland at home...and could be 1 point behind us

I said on the previous page that Arsenal were the danger not United. Stilll fancy us to beat West Ham, And then it will be 90 minutes of ****ting ourselves against Boro.

It's Southampton away and then Stoke away. Two tough games.
Stoke are a bit of a bogey team for them. They have only beaten them once in the league there since 1982. Let's hope that continues.

cheers. gives me a bit more hope then can see Stoke beating them, they have underacheived this year and do have a decent team.

1 win, 1 draw and I am sure we will do it. Can't see Arsenal winning all 4 and with 73 points we should squeeze through on goal difference

[Angryred]

Arsenal have the experience & know how for this stage of the season as have always finished their season with a flourish in past seasons so won't be surprised if they do so this year again!

Memories for Arsenal finishing level on points and outdoing our goal difference on the last day. Thanks Thomas!

Realistically - Arsenal and United would both need to win all their remaining games to have any chance of getting top 4.

United won't beat Spurs and Arsenal will draw at least one of their last 4 so personally I think winning one of the last 2 will be enough.

Granted - I want us to win both and make sure it's beyond doubt but when have thing ever been that simple!

[Pablo]

Yep, now I believe top four is over. Doesn't matter about the Spurs or Arsenal games. Is it on Klopp? Yep absolutely. Can see him being a very good manager for us but not one to take us to the next level. Something Arsene Wengerish about him fortunately/unfortunately.

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

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

New odds:

Liverpool: 1/4
Arsenal: 4/1
Man Utd: 14/1

I know it's not been plain sailing and we've made hard work of it, but our odds are shortening at least.

[BigChief]

Ironically now might be the best time to put £50 on Arsenal.

We were 1/9 at the weekedn so shorthening the wrong way now

i had £20 on at 12/1 before the United game.

[RedReet]

We should get Joey Barton to stick £5m on for us.

If we qualify for CL, we won't miss the £5m, if we don't qualify then we can throw an extra £20m at VVD to sweeten the deal for him.

[Mark79]

Those are definitely worth a couple of emotional hedge bets!

We'll be 1/33 when we win at West Ham
