A disappointing, but not disastrous round of games.
I've taken out any teams at 37+, and had hoped we would be one of them.
Stoke now need 8 points just to overtake us as we stand. Southampton fans will look at their fixtures and think 'we could do this'. Brighton have what looks like a nightmare set of fixtures, and it wouldn't be a surprise if they failed to get any more points. Huddersfield are in a similar position, and will presumably be targeting the home game against Everton.
Swansea finish their season with home games against Southampton and Stoke, and may need to win one or both to avoid being sucked in to the bottom 3.
We are still very much in the mix and still need points (at least 2) IMO. And given that all our games are v top 9, it is not the most ideal of positions for us to be in.
The good news is that Arsenal will have 1.9 eyes on the Europa league next week and will undoubtedly play a much weakened team against us. Looking forward to seeing us win at the Emirates
Fulham (2nd) just did the world of football a huge favour by thumping the M..scum 3-0 at the New Dump. M..scum are 6th with two games left, Boro (5th) away and Villa (4th) at home.
Derby (7th) are at home to Boro this afternoon, a draw will lift them into 6th on goal difference with three games left (Cardiff H, Villa A, Barnsley (22nd) H). Fulham probably won't be 2nd for long as Cardiff (3rd) play Forest (17th) this evening
The Championship run in is a bit more entertaining then the Prem this season
To be fair - it was a cracking game. Two completely different styles of play. Fulham played some lovely one touch football. Certainly a couple to look at, as I think that we are. ;ok
If you get chance listen to Klopps post match comments about the pitch at the hawthorns and that they can enjoy a drive pitch in the championship what a muppet
He is a top four manager, they are in Champions League Semi Finals so of course he is entitled to ask for a pitch they can beat their opponents on! ;whistle

STH and Swansea have 5 games... STH also the "easiest" games.
WBA / Stoke plus 1 at the moment I would say.
Really needed to have beaten Stoke...just to ease the pressure on us
Don't like the idea of waiting on other teams to lose points
Swansea playing Southampton and Stoke is not a bad thing, If we can keep Swansea behind us in the table.
Varrds saving himself for World Cup

I can't see them getting another point, it still means Saints or Stoke have to pull something out of the bag, but just got a feeling.
2nd worst GD in the league too, which says a lot.
While I detest Palace the results since have been alright ...
Just need something from
Tomorrow ;pray ;scarf
Oh, and he still needs a keeper.
