The race for the Top 4

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

So we beat Chelsea and that is it then. Chelsea and Liverpool scrap for the 4th place.

We're ****ed

If we beat Chelsea twice in the next week it would go down in City folklore.

It's the kind of scenario when you want someone who has acted the cock and been a bit shit recently to be the hero. Does Madders read this forum?

Would 5th or 6th make any difference at all apart from a bit of prize money differential?

 

[Jimmy Lad]

And what happens if Chelsea finish 5th but win the CL? Does 4th miss out on CL next season?

Or a fading talisman to relive his previous glory and bang in a couple of winners.

Nachos loves the FA cup so that one is his. Vardy will have to get the winner in the league game.

No.

Nah, that was only if arsenal weren't shit.

It's going to come down to goal difference isn't it....

Liverpool will have the better GD for sure

Chelsea should do the decent thing then really, and drop out of the top 4 and just make sure they win the CL

 

[mabrah]

On the plus side..... um.....

...the maths are clearer

battle of the bottlers at the KP to decide?

 

[sparky79]

No way we are losing to Spurs at home last up.....also Save Jonny Evans for Tuesday. I hate to say it.....

 

[sparky79]

Give him 30 in the Cup Final

 

[mabrah]

I've not looked at the permutations but I reckon we probably need at least a point at Chelsea and/or Liverpool to drop points. Lose at Chelsea and we need favours, and I sadly don't see that happening - I reckon Liverpool will win all three of the remaining games. They're on a roll and have no distractions.

Agreed and I think the Newcastle game showed how much our players had one eye on the Cup final, BR must have given them a bollocking after that game.

To expect Liverpool to win 5 on the spin is a big ask. There is every chance they drop points between now and the end. I think that’s our best bet.

I really don’t think it’s realistic to think we can beat this Tuchel side twice in a week and now that they need the points they’ll be a handful on Tuesday.

 

[City Fan]

Luke Thomas or Nacho over the shoulder.

Vardy scored a not too dissimilar goal to Nacho’s over the shoulder one, and he got Premier League goal of the season.

Indeed. Had they won against Arsenal then we might have a had a gentlemen's agreement of a draw. As it is, we going to have to scrap for that same result (and/or get hatful against Spurs - which I would love to see anyway!)
