Not even close. We'd be on 67 points and Villa would be on 69 (applying assumptions outlined). We'd be fucked.

don't confuse the fucker man, he's been working on his original post since 18.30 yesterday evening.

Draw with Chelsea, lose at Arsenal, win v Everton. Will that be enough? I don’t think Chelsea will be an easy game as I’ve stated many times here. Their starting eleven is very good and can beat anyone on their day. Jackson being back is also a big boost, as although he is a shit finisher he leads the line the decently for them.

I thought somebody needed to take control of the situation and actually do the work. Instead of you sat with a bowl of mung beans, trying to count out different amounts for each team.
-
I mean all of this is already being discussed in other threads, but no you had to start a new topic because you crave the attention. bit like when you sprained your ankle.

You want a fucking hiding is what you want.

I want a spreadsheet chart.

where the fuck is @Tdansmith? always posts some good stuff in this thread. hope you're well mate.

I didn't think I needed to post "and if we get less than 6 points then in basically all scenarios we'd be fucked because even Villa would finish ahead of us" but apparently somebody needed that clarifying for SOMEBODY.
-
far be it from me to point out the bleeding obvious but.... how about the scenario where we get less than 6 points?
-
Been looking at results combos this morning, and looking at different scenarios. Assumptions as follows: Everyone takes maximum points from their remaining games, except for when they play one another When they do play one another, we consider both maximum points returns (i.e. Forest beat Chelsea vs Chelsea beat Forest) Villa (+6) and Forest (+14) will not catch Newcastle (+21) and Chelsea (+21) on GD Taking the above assumptions, then: If we get 7 points from our remaining three games, regardless of how those points are earned and regardless of results combinations in the other games, then we absolutely cannot be beaten to a CL place. If we get 6 points from our remaining three games, there is only one scenario (we lose to Chelsea, and Forest beat Chelsea) where we would be at risk of not making it to a CL place. In that one scenario, we've still got a chance but we would need to be ahead of Chelsea on GD. Summary table showing final point positions for each scenarios as follows: Shout if you see anything that I've done wrong.

Don't think PaddockLad wants it tbh.

We could do with Palace beating Forest tonight. That would give us a 3pt buffer with a superior GD over Forest/Villa. Effectively giving us a loss in the bank with 3 games to go.

All this nostalgia proves is that you’re all canny old tbh. I remember the keegan days, but was only 10 when he chucked in the towel, and we got lumbered with the dour Scottish cunt who ruined us. Sir Bobby was in during my formative years and I’d probably say I preferred those times over Keegan purely because I was old enough then to appreciate it. All that before another dour Scottish cunt came in and ruined us again. None of it tops this season though, because you simply can’t compare nearly winning stuff with actually winning something IMO. I’m saying all of this to say once Eddie wraps in be prepared for Moyes ball because we always replace our favourites with a dour Scottish cunt.

Football is about how it makes you feel though. I shed tears of joy when we won the league cup. That never happened when we qualified for the champions league or finished second or third under Keegan. You could argue we were better then over a league season and there were amazing memories and moments but I don’t recall one that made me feel how I did after seeing us finally lift a cup.

Great post TBD, but it has to be said:

pleased you've found a ticket mate. a draw in this one lets villa right back in it and us very likely needing something at arsenal. man utd and tottenham are about as likely to provide villa any opposition as the bindippers did chelsea yesterday, we desperately need bournemouth to do us a favour on the saturday or chelsea is a must win. well fucked off with the kick off time, thinking of a 4.30am set off, pleased it's not my turn to drive, hoping to be in the casino by 9am for a couple before heading to the percy when it opens at 10.... my unofficial no drinking till 1pm (ish) rule goes well and truly out the window for this one!

A draw here would be agony for the run in but brilliant for the neutrals and broadcasters. But we will win this and beat Everton. The Forest v Chelsea game will be the shoot out for 5th, with us in 4th. Also, I’m going to this one and am on an hot streak of wins, looking to make it a four match heater.
