I can't shake the feeling that Sheff Utd will regain some form against us.
I think we'll win but with the way other teams have been performing I don't think it'll make much difference in the race for top 5. Damage is done most likely.
We still have Leicester to play and they're in freefall at the moment. They also have to play Arsenal and Man Utd. Win our game in hand and beat them and we're 4 points behind.The good news is that we don't have to play the top sides. That bad news is we don't have any 6 pointers against them and therefore it's not in our hands.
All Jose can probably do is break it into the July fixtures then the pre-season and then we get ready for when teams are all one zero points again.
It's possible that if teams like Chelsea and City have to deal with the FA Cup and CL games on top of the league games that they will suffer from that in the second half of next season. That could work in our favour.

Let's say City's appeal is denied. That's places for Liverpool and in all probability Chelsea and United. It leaves one more place for either Leicester, Wolves, us or Arsenal.
Wolves still have to play Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Sheff Utd, Palace and Burnley. That's a toughish set of fixtures and they'll drop points somewhere.
So there's still an outside chance but we'd have to win, I think, at least 6 of our remaining games, including Arsenal. That's a very tough ask.

How you been Scotty, not seeing you around started making me think bad thoughts!
It seems what I was told maybe accurate:

I hope he is; he needs a run of games.
Very similar opinions there. COYSWin or bust! - It's a concern that those around has have played their game (32) already so the table looks even more depressing.
Win and we are still 4 points off Wolves and Utd on same games played.
We have some very winnable games in our run in, but so do Utd. We have the gooners, Utd have similarly 'easy' games to us without any real 'threats', so unless they slip up massively, I see us finishing in 6 at best or 13th at worst.
MUST WIN!
My heart says that we continue to go unbeaten but my head says we won't...we are too Spursey....prove me wrong Spurs for a change!
That was definitely the happy families era that was very much to the fore in Poch's early days. As to when it started to go wrong I think that that unquestionably dates back to failing to secure Eriksen on an extended contract. Despite Harry's goal scoring heroics, Eriksen definitely made that team tick when it was at its peak. Once his form and motivation declined, the team declined simultaneously.Just watched PL 100 Club: Harry Kane ...which I recorded on Sky. Wow not just the quality of his goals but the hunger and desire the team showed and delight when he scored...cammeradery and togetherness were obvious to see...where the fcuk did that go and when did it dissipate? Not jut Harry's goals but the clips picked out the quality and desire of a Happy Christain Ericksen, A happy Deli Alislotting great passes through to Harry, a happy Wanyama a happy Dembele a happy squad that looked immense and about to do something big and great...Poch and Levy together fcuked up the evolution of that bunch....ah well ...rebuild underway I hope
Pretty much agree with that eleven. I wouldn't have Sessegnon as a preference ahead of Davies, but there are a lot of games coming up for a player who has had a fair number of injuries in recent times, so fully expect to see Sessegnon given a few outings between now and the end of the season.My starting selection for tonight:
Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Dier, Sessegnon; Sissoko, Winks; Lo Celso, N'dombele, Son; Kane.
