We might not have to win the next four. Three wins and a draw might be enough. Leicester getting only 1 point or less is entirely feasible. If West Ham win their last three then that would leave us, Leicester and West Ham on 67 points.
Think we need to boost our GD!

Leicester are on 66 points now.
Today Chelsea - Arsenal
Tomorrow ManU - Liverpool
Saturday Chelsea - Leicester (FA Cup)
Sunday West Brom - Liverpool
We could be on 61 or even 63 points before Leicester are playing their next league game which is
Tuesday Chelsea - Leicester
A lot can happen in that game - especially after playing each other a few days before in a cup final.
Don’t Leicester have to drop at least 5 points now?
They need just 4 points from last nine. We can only get 69 points maximum. They are already on 66 points

They have 2 games left. We have 4.
Aaah. Silly me. So 4 points from possible 6 then.

Everything relies on us winning our remaining games. I just don’t see us reaching top 4 if we draw a game with both Spurs and WHU with very favourable draws. However, if…if we win our remaining games then it would be lovely to see the Arse do a job on Chelsea. That would make it very interesting. They would then go into the Leicester game on 64 points, us on 63, and knowing we could leapfrog them the following day if they drop any points (depending on the GD situation, but ours will at least be +2 if we win those games in hand)
There are a couple of avenues into top 4 still in play. Just as there are a few avenues for Everton, Spurs or WHU to jump above us and take us well out of contention if we don’t do our job.

Depends on the Chelsea - Leicester game and maybe on the Chelsea - Arsenal game tonight but with 2 wins and 1 draw its possible to have the chance for a Top4 finish on matchday 38.
So are we going to give up now?
A draw tomorrow would be a good point and an unlikely win could be huge.

Got no real hopes, said a while back I want us to acquire enough for the Europa.
And financially with the fine it makes sense that we qualify for a lesser competition if we can.
I think a point is fine tomorrow for that.

The only way we can get anything from this season is to beat MU tomorrow night. At least we will regain a bit of pride if we do that.

I don’t think Leicester pick up any more points.
We we need 3 wins from 4 and a better goal difference.
Be interesting what team Tuchel puts out against them in the league.
We really need Arsenal to beat Chelsea tonight

Arsenal are useless, don’t expect anything from them.

With hope in your heart…
I’ll believe until it’s mathematically impossible.
Fucking disgusting season when you find yourself needing Everton, United, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal to win.
Yuck

What? Firstly financially, we are better off in CL regardless of losing some portion as a fine.
Secondly we really need the 3 points if we are to qualify and we really need to beat the mancs anyway to get that recent monkey off the chest and fuck them up for playing such a shite team against Leicester. I’d like us to play mean - if Millie is available I’d love him to put in some reducers on a couple of their ponces. We don’t have a cup final so we don’t mind putting it on the line physically; lets see what the mancunian cunts think.

I’ve seen that goal from the Leicester left back again today.
It really was a fantastic goal. Fair play to the lad

1st 95% of a lot is still more than 95% of a little, this is a cutting off your nose to spite your face stance as we earn less so we can pay less.
2nd Pretty sure I saw the fine comes out of the 2022/23 share not the 2021/22 prize money anyway so we’d have to sit in Europa for two seasons for that to work.

Seriously hope Klopp calls United out for their shit house team selection v Leicester
Seriously doubt he will. Too classy to do it.
