I am more worried about blowing up and not securing 2nd spot when it was there for the taking.
Really need to get a point at least next Monday. A favour off Southampton next Sunday wouldnt go amiss either.

Ironically, if Leicester avoid defeat next weekend they will hand us a Top 4 finish

We finish 4th, City and Liverpool win the European cups?

Yeah that's the one.

Well we certainly might have a better idea this time tomorrow.
Two results go our way and we could almost fall into 2nd.
Southampton beat Emirates Marketing Project on Sunday
Emirates Marketing Project beat Arsenal the week after.
At the end of the day, avoiding defeat at Chelsea is vital. Dont really want to have to win on the last day to secure 2nd, rather have the chance to do it at the Lane in a fortnight

We're not in *that* bad a spot - like I said, three points from our last three games will guarantee a top three place, and four points should guarantee second. One win and two losses or one win, one draw, one loss.
That Soton game is where our most likely win will come from, so we really need to pull something out of the fire there. And if the players and manager don't want to suffer the ignominy of finishing behind Arsenal again after all that's gone on this season, they will also need a draw from either the Chelsea or Saudi Sportswashing Machine games.
It's in our hands. We won't fail. I never entertained hopes of the title, but I can say with confidence that this bunch of lads and this manager are too good and too driven to let the unthinkable happen.

If we dont finish above them this season, I will never believe we ever can again. Looking at their fixtures they are nailed on 2 home wins, but looking at their recent form City should win that other match.
At least we got a point nearer that particular tonight. I would love to secure that 2nd spot at home before the City-Arsenal. It would make a fitting finale to our home league campaign

You know I had almost forgot about that scenario happening to us, but now its become an outside possiblity again
Shock fudging horror.

Indeed... for a side that plays agricultural route-one football, they are extremely good at putting those bottom half teams to the sword...So one win and Leicester are crowned PL champs? Two draws and a loss anyone!?Leicester deserve it all in all. A whole team built for not far off what we bought Lamela for. Its the stuff of Football Manager simulator dreams.

Which is one of the hallmarks of a title winning team, compared to our record...

Fine margins, which I'm sure Pochettino already has a plan of action for next season!

They are a far older team, and Ranerie more experienced. They played many less matches. Yes they can only play one way - which is to defend deep and compete to keep the opposition away from their goal all game. Then when they disrupt the opposition they pounce with genuine incision. All credit to Ranerie (or how ever you spell that clams name!) its the only way they could have won the PL.

They've won, I congratulate them
It's not a case of deserved though, deserved doesn't exist, it's not arbitrary, it's not down to interpretation, it's down to facts, it's accumulated points in games and across the season, I don't want to see any talk of moral victory or being "the better team", the only metric that matters is the league table
it would have been absolutely bloody miraculously brilliant for us to have won the league, but being in the champions league is the most important thing

We currently need 4 points from the last 3 matches to get 2nd.
