Worth noting that as things stand West Ham don't really need to gain 8 points on us to overtake our position as their goal difference is so inferior. Would take some big defeats and big wins to swing it.
So essentially if we win our next two and they drop any points v Burnley or Everton we are home and hosed.
Everton could go equal on points with West Ham but their GD is 4 and so they too need to gain 8 points on us rather than 7.

I think West Ham are feeling the pain of injuries, badly timed for them and they weren’t prepared for this with the right depth. Could see them dropping points to Burnley. Still think Liverpool could win 4 or even 5 if they started putting ages chances, so two more wins please.
 
I think we could well need the 3 wins to make sure.

Liverpool could win their last 5 if they finally click again and you can't rule out Chelsea getting 4 which would mean 2 would not be enough for us.

Win against Southampton though and it puts a lot of pressure on the rest to make up so many points.

There’s no way we’ll need 3 wins.

Win against Southampton all but confirms it. Win against Newcastle as well and it’s a done deal.
 
Yep. I reckon 2 wins and its done. Very rare for clubs in 5th,6th,7th to win their last 5 games on the bounce....The irony being, that if we don't have pressure on the last two games but the other clubs do, i bet we get more points than we would have done if we really needed them.
 
Liverpool v Man Utd could kill off the Scousers chances, conversely it could pull us closer to Manure should they lose. Two wins against Soton and Newcastle will see us over the finishing line, if we can play a part in spuds not making top 6 it will be ultra sweet!
 
This will be a tough, physical encounter for sure. Ralph Hasenhüttl will ask his players to target our midfielders' legs. I predict we will pick up an injury or two in this one, and subsequently get pipped in inury time and lose 0-1. It's strange to me how Ralph Hasenhüttl always seems to be able to get teams out of trouble, but if they aren't in trouble, he's shit. Proper siege manager, an escape artist, whatever you want to call it. Why he can't convert that in times of less trouble is quite baffling.

Well spotted.

Not sure whether to judge Joe for this, or you for spotting it/paying that much attention to Joe ;)
 
I'm testing a theory. Will report back with the findings.
 
Please don't keep us waiting too long for the results Joe.....
