"He’s back on the grass".
If this statement was about anyone else from the previous decades you'd be worried.
Almost sounds like rehab.

IronHerb

Double bluff.

Ravel49

Double Puff you say 🤔

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I’m terrified for this game already.

Lukerz

So is this right, if Chelsea don’t beat City today, we are guaranteed to finish in the top four if we take 12/12 points from our final 4, given Chelsea and Leicester play each other?

IronHerb

Don't worry Jorderz, comfortable home win.

I did a quick mental check yesterday and I think it’s correct.

If Chelsea lose today, 12 points guarantees us top four as Chelsea and Leicester won’t both be able to surpass 70.

ScotHammer

Could we not lose out on goal difference if we all have 70 points?

I’m sure WHU will keep us on edge until the end of the last day, so clear out behind the sofa.🙈

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

If Chelsea lose today then I don't think it's possible for all three teams to get to 70.

Yes, you’re right Jorderz. I won’t cancel the Valium order yet though!

Fortuneseeker

Need to win all four games as the pundits think Liverpool will finish in the top 4 & they can’t get higher than 69pts with winning their last five matches.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Not really worried about what the pundits think. Half of them are Liverpool fans anyway.

EXETERHAMMER

Yes, and the other half are scousers.

Fortuneseeker

You’re entitled to your own opinions but somebody called Lawrenson said they would win their last five games and finish in the top 4! 😀

And he very rarely predicts them to win, does he?

MIAHammer

We’re now guaranteed to stay in 5th position this weekend no matter what anyone does unless we win by 11 goals.

IronHerb

If Chelsea lose by 3 goals then we only need to win by 8.😂

If Chelsea lose today, 12 points guarantees us top four as Chelsea and Leicester won’t both be able to surpass 70.

I don’t even think Chelsea have to lose today, a draw will still be enough for us to guarantee top four with 12 points

Well there goes our chance of 4th this weekend!

Abdoulaye Doucoure is fit, James Rodriquez isn't.

IronHerb

I prefer it that way.

Hamstew

I'm so nervous I'm going out for the day.

Sky just showed a clip of the West Ham players walking around the pitch in training gear. Rice was amongst them in his training gear and not ripped jeans
