    Chicago, IF, and I hope it’s not the case the 3 teams around us do win, and Brighton are possibly looking to qualify for Europe, then we will need to beat Palace on the Monday due to when the fixtures are being played.

    How sweet is it knowing we'll spend all week out of the bottom 3.

    From what I can see the predictions for this week appear to have been made after the games or at least announced as such because they all seem to have been correct 😏

    Can't see Spurs beating Brighton. I couldn't spot any difference between today and their last performance other than Kolo Muani throwing himself to the ground at every opportunity and Udogie thowing Sunderland players to the ground at every opportunity.

    I think the home advantage may not be an advantage either, especially if going behind. I think the pressure will be palpable in that stadium.

    Brighton are also hugely in form with five wins from their last six games, the only loss to Arsenal.

    If they lose to Brighton I genuinely think they might not get a win all season. If another new manager can’t get a tune out of them quickly, I don’t see how their squad turns itself around.

    I don’t think they’ve won at home this calendar year. Long may it continue.

    They actually have won twice, both times in the Champions League. But when it comes to League wins at their place, West Ham have more this year 😅

    I was only counting PL games as they are the most important to us. Spurs have no right to be in the CL anyway. 😬

    Romero out for the rest of the season is being reported. He has not exactly been helping them much, as results make clear, but he is their Captain.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    he's their second highest top scorer

    I do feel dirty thinking it though.

  • alderzalderz
    You can't trust Man Utd
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    United are so rubbish, they can have a huge resurgence only to let you down the one time every decade or so you actually rely on them for something.

    If there is any small consolation it's that if we need three points from Leeds on the final day it will be better if they are already safe.
  • stevesteve
    Leeds pretty much safe ,So guess its one of three now
  • LukerzLukerz
    I think Leeds were always outsiders the way they have been playing; 1 of 3 now most likely

    I said this earlier but I really do not see Spurs taking anything off Brighton so assuming that Forest beat Burnley the opportunity will be upon us to beat Palace and cast Spurs 5 adrift.

    Praying to the footballing gods

    Brighton are top of the form (last 6 games) table and Spurs are bottom, so it would be lovely if that form is borne out in their result.

    Brighton's five wins in six were Brentford A, Forest H, Sunderland A, Liverpool H and Burnley A. They scored two goals in four of those and kept 3 clean sheets

    The one loss was at home to Arsenal, 1-0, but from the reports Arsenal were lucky to win, scored from a deflection. Brighton had more possession, more shots and more shots on target.

    Leeds have Wolves at home, Forest have Burnley at home. Don't think we're going to get much help out of those

    Could be between Spurs and us after this weekend .Who saw that coming

    I like your assessment of the situation more candbsky than steve's =)

    I did a predictor for all the remaining fixtures and we went down on 40 points.

    Luckily I’m always wrong, at least according to my wife

    Arsenal in semi final of the champions league .And play us a few days after there second leg .Lets hope that works in our favour
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    Palace pretty much have the Conference final tomorrow with a 3-0 head start. If they beat Fiorentina I can't see anyone else stopping them winning the cup.
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    Forest through to the semi's of the Europa which means another two big matches to prepare for and play amid the relegation matches.
