Last few seasons have shown that 60 to 65 points would get you 7th or 8th place. So based on that we would need at least another 18 points to secure one of those places. Our home games are against Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Sunderland.
Our away games are against Arsenal, Brentford, Palace and Spurs.
So for a bit of fun tell me where people think we can get those 18 points we might need?
Got to say whoever set the games up gave us one hell of a home run there.

Maybe 12 points, but we need to be positive every game.

Another 7 or max 10.

18 points from those games is gunna be tricky, eh.
Best I can realistically/hopefully see is 2 wins and a draw, both home and away. But that only makes 14.
Home
Wins against Chelsea and Sunderland, draw with them. Lose to City.
Away
Wins against Brentford and Palace, draw with Spurs. Lose to Arsenal.
However, that's a tough run in, we could easily lose 6 of those.

I keep thinking that if there is something still to chase on the final day, and Spurs need something to stay up, we might end up sending them down.
I'm not gleeful about that or anything, but I have had a feeling on that one for a while.

I'm gleeful. It starts to expose the myth about "Big Six".

Well I know how I have felt during final day nerves, so hopefully they are relegated by then. ?

Brassington, that is some serious schadenfreude you've got going on there! ?
And before anyone says anything, that is not a new German player we are trying to sign!

We have also got West Ham away, which could be another 3 points easily.
Brentford, Palace, and Spurs are also places where 3 points could be achievable.
Not too optimistic on the home games, however.
