It would take a minor miracle. Sadly we've dropped too many points to far too many poor sides.

We blew it with the draws against Leeds and Newcastle. We put ourselves in a position to win both games but then didn't have the composure to control the ball and see out the game. More than anything the lack of leadership and composure has been disappointing.

We have no one to blame except ourselves, our performances and results since 1st January have been a disaster.

Very disappointed in the team as the players have let the supporters down. Some players will move on wanting CL football and all will continue to get paid handsomely. This was not a team that did their best, this was a team that completely underperformed. We were a team that hardly ever lost and now we have become average. After years of disappointment we finally got to got to hold our heads high. Can the players ever reach that exceptional level they were at again? It sure was nice watching them dominate the world of football. I just hope we don’t have to wait another 30 years to win the title again. Wen you consider next year and all the spending that will go on with the other teams, this team will have to work hard to compete.

Only player that deserves an honorable mention this year is Fabinho, the rest let the team down. Even if Salah wins the golden boot, there were many chances this year where had he passed the ball or finished a little better we would be not be battling for fourth, he seemed more concerned with personal glory than the team.

To be fair if someone offered me the title last year and no CL after the following season I would have snatched their hand off. We have won PL and CL in the last three seasons.

We will be back amongst it next season.

So Chelsea lost against Arsenal which gives us a bit of hope. If only City did their job against them it would have been in our hands now. Still, there's a small chance we may get 4th if we win all of our remaining games, with Chelsea and Leicester playing eachother and Leicester having a tricky final day game against Spurs. Tomorrow's match against the mancs is still huge for us.

Would love it to happen.  But I just can't see us winning all of our last games. Hopefully the boys prove me wrong

All begins tomorrow, If we beat United then we could start talking about potential scenarios.

I think it already is in our hands. Leicester have a better goal difference by just one goal but we have a game in hand. If they get beat by Chelsea they'd have to trash Spurs in their final game to have a better goal difference than us. If they win or draw against Chelsea then we'd have more points than Chelsea. We just need to win our remaining games and we're very likely in.

Leicester/Chelsea, what a game next Tuesday. At the end of the day the FA cup final on Saturday has a meaningless outcome so both sides will be saving themselves for the league game. You could say that Chelsea will have half an eye on the CL final but this'll be Leicester’s CL final. Massive game. I think we have to pray for a Leicester win and hope we can overhaul the Chavs.

I'm predicting a FA cup win for Leicester and a league defeat on Tuesday

Chelsea 2-1 Leicester.

Would have preferred Chelsea would've tonked them.
Ideally a Leicester win or draw was best.

Anyhow could potentially end on GD, we are 1+ atm, hope we add few more tomorrow.
