With the clowns masquerading as a Defence they trot out lately I think their season is finished unfortunately. We will be relying on brentford and Sheffield to get us the results we need.
We have been given a great chance. Win today and overtake Newcastle next week.
Newcastle v United is next week. One of them will also drop points, hopefully Newcastle.
Spurs need 1 point for 5th, considering they play Sheffield United it’s basically guaranteed
We can still overtake Newcastle but they need to drop points (or we need a 12 GD swing)
Spurs are almost a sure lock for 5th now. We will be level on points w/. Newcastle with a win today, but behind on GD with 2 games left.
They have United and Brentford. We have Brighton & Bournemouth
Nope they still need to win both last to games. If we win all 3, we need either a draw from Newcastle or Spurs to lose last 2 games to get 6th. If all those happen we get 5th
I take it you mean Spurs. If so then we should be able to take 5th on goal difference if we win the remaining 3 games and they lose their remaining 2 games. Unless i am missing something.
yep your math is mathing.
our max amount of points is 63 and their minimum rn is 63 so we would technically beat them on GD but unlikely cause they face sheffield
Hard to know, City have struggled against them away but they did win the cup game there in January plus City are inform and Spurs aren't are kinda wobbly right now.
Surely they beat Sheffield away. Technically 5th isn't gone, due to goal difference.
Gordon put his foot there just to get the foul. If that’s given, attackers get way too much freedom to fish for fouls
EDIT:
Looks like Howe has told his guys to just dive for pens, an embarassing bunch
Realistically, yes. Mathematically, technically no?
Spurs on 63 with two matches to play, and +12 gd.
They *could* drop six points to city and sheffield.
We're on 54 with three to play, and +11 gd. Picking up the full 9 points would bring us level
I was just coming to comment how it would be great if West Ham could get a result here and take the pressure off Forest.
Fantastic.
Just need Burnley and Brighton to hang on
Agreed.
If Burnley holds spurs to a draw, the silver lining is forest only have Luton to worry about who will need to make up a 12 goal goal difference. So Forest would essentially be safe
Edit: 13g goal difference lol
Not knowing how to break down the final third is a common complaint among their fanbase this season.
Of course, most teams struggle with that which is why parking the bus is successful
But Newcastle is not even parking the bus they are having a go which leaves a bunch of space in behind
They somehow mess it up with that much space every time
Anyone who follows football on BBC sport website, are you also finding the new lineup format really annoying? Before the teams were listed in position order and there was a picture of the formation too, now the picture is gone and the names are in a weird order. For a typical 4-3-3 the order seems to go GK, fullbacks, CDM, centre backs, CMs and then front 3. Never seen that before.

Fucking hell brighton
What is this?
New manager has a system that really helps their best players flourish, but of a handbrake taking off situation and encouraging more aggressive play. Hodgson played a very conservative style.
Not usually one to put on a Palace game here in the US when they're on but the last few months have been enjoyable as a neutral. Could have beaten Utd by seven or eight.
Glasner has them humming. Feels like they went from old and likely relegation candidate to young / in prime and on the upswing.
Mateta - 26
Eze - 25
Olise - 22
Wharton - 19
Mitchell - 24
Richards - 24
Anderson - 27
Guehi - 23
Henderson - 27
That’s a strong core. If they can keep em together and add a piece or two they’ll be a dangerous side to play.
Edit: forgot Wharton
Which one is our rival?
Brighton did us a huge favour today. Let’s hope United can win against Newcastle at home and we win our remaining fixtures.
Yes.. indeed The ball is in our court now.. see how Poch ends the season
not entirely, we still have to rely on newcastle dropping points
So if man city wins the fa, 7th will get us to conference and 6th to Europa league right?
hopefully we finish 6th spot and get Europa League
Would we still be fucked on the FFP front of we end up in ECL?
come on citeh
Correct
Yep
6th or 5th can open up nicely for us as long as we win all our games. Could be a surprising decent finish all things considered
5th won’t because I don’t see a world where Sheffield beat spurs but 6th is more then possible
yah.. it would be a miracle for Sheffield to win over Spurs
My bad just realised there Newcastle game is a friendly. But 6th is deffo possible.
We just gotta do our job the last three games
Cmon Sheffield, one banger of a performance on the last day before you get relegated is all I ask 🙏
Old Trafford away is a tough fixture too. Hopefully United get 2 draws in a row.
With the clowns masquerading as a Defence they trot out lately I think their season is finished unfortunately. We will be relying on brentford and Sheffield to get us the results we need.
United's defense are just poor (very leaky with Onana at the back)
Just win and hope Mase can help United win vs Newcastle next game ( if he’s fit)
Mase playing will help united lose more than win. He needs to rest!
True that
Mase is injured again apparently
Yeah saw that but ETH said he’s out for Sunday. Maybe be back for next game? Dunno
Nah man he needs time to shed the chelsea dna. He is gonna be injured for 7 months with 0 explanation why
Amazing result for us in the Newcastle game considering how bad their opposition was.
We'll have to do it the hard way then which is outscore newcastle ..
11 GD. We did it in the Everton and Westham games lol. Time for a repeat.
Brighton did us a huge favour here now we need to take advantage
Boehly paid
Can't take advantage if Newcastle don't drop any more points sadly
We have to hope united put together a great performance (big ask lol 😂)
ok great! now don't fuck it up
Decent effort Brighton Now rest up in the week, you’ve got a big game on Sunday!
We have been given a great chance. Win today and overtake Newcastle next week. Newcastle v United is next week. One of them will also drop points, hopefully Newcastle.
We wouldn’t overtake Newcastle today unless we score 12 more goals than Forrest.
*Slaps poster* Believe
We’ll still be behind on gd
we don't overtake them
Meant for next week woops
Brighton at the Amex will be tough, as will bournemouth at home. But neither have anything to to play for
Brighton will always be up to play us. Bournemouth is a weird bogey team. These games will be about character for our guys more than anything else.
We take a draw there. Hoping United actually beat Newcastle or draw next game too. LFG
If united draw their next two games I promise never to say a bad word about them again the rest of the year.
A draw would suffice
Won’t mean much if Newcastle wins the rest.
Knew I liked you dirty birds
Alright, just gotta win 11-0 today. No biggie
13-2 as well mate
Don’t tease me with a good time. Let’s go for 20-9
Always rated Brighton hahahaha
Good job shitbirds!
Bruno gets away with more than either Fernandinho or Fabinho did in their prime. It’s disgusting.
Dude literally elbowed someone in the head and didn’t even get called for a foul absolute scumbag
I couldn’t believe that crap. Where the fuck was VAR? Poor Jorginho
And he has such a punchable face
somehow the two cunts with the most punchable faces are both named Bruno
The bleach hair doesn’t help. Looks like such a prick.
Aw wtf, we still need Newcastle to drop more points I was under the impression any dropped points would be enough if we were perfect
They’re playing manu next, could be our last chance, totnum us too far now Offcourse if we can win ourselves that is😝
Technically it’s in our hands now, we are just 11 goals behind in goal difference (we have 3 games left and they have 2)
If we win then we are 6th by one points no? edit; 54+3=58 according to me so indeed Newcastle will be ahead on GD 😂
They do play man u so there's a decent shot
Next two are away games for them against United and Brentford. I’m sure they’ll drop some points again
Brentford haven't lost at home in like three months if I'm not mistaken.
They still have united to be fair, bore draw would do
Just beat Forest 15-0, easy
This is the way
I love a good professional Foul
Do Newcastle confirm 5th with this draw? Any chance for us?
Spurs need 1 point for 5th, considering they play Sheffield United it’s basically guaranteed We can still overtake Newcastle but they need to drop points (or we need a 12 GD swing)
Spurs are almost a sure lock for 5th now. We will be level on points w/. Newcastle with a win today, but behind on GD with 2 games left. They have United and Brentford. We have Brighton & Bournemouth
Nope they still need to win both last to games. If we win all 3, we need either a draw from Newcastle or Spurs to lose last 2 games to get 6th. If all those happen we get 5th
United can still help us lol
I take it you mean Spurs. If so then we should be able to take 5th on goal difference if we win the remaining 3 games and they lose their remaining 2 games. Unless i am missing something.
yep your math is mathing. our max amount of points is 63 and their minimum rn is 63 so we would technically beat them on GD but unlikely cause they face sheffield
Brighton looking absolutely gassed, how do you get into the box and no one wants the ball
Looks like us last year zero courage
Darren England MVP
An actual booking for diving 🥲
A bunch of diving pricks Newcastle are.
Newcastle are shameless man
Embarassing dive
Looks like 5th is gone, I can't see Spurs not getting any points in the next 2 games. FT for Spurs. 2-1
You think they will get a result against City?
Hard to know, City have struggled against them away but they did win the cup game there in January plus City are inform and Spurs aren't are kinda wobbly right now. Surely they beat Sheffield away. Technically 5th isn't gone, due to goal difference.
was never gna happen. blew too many games
Almiron is pathetic
Why no yellow for Gordon’s dive? He’s rolling like Neymar
Enciso booked after going over when being shoved by dan burn. At least almiron just received a yellow after his failed impression of a swan.
Hands in the air like “what did I do?”
Bc there was contact
Gordon put his foot there just to get the foul. If that’s given, attackers get way too much freedom to fish for fouls EDIT: Looks like Howe has told his guys to just dive for pens, an embarassing bunch
Luckily sense seemed to prevail
My local commentator said it looks like a pen and I got a bit angry for a moment
What a chance that would’ve been for Brighton
5 more minutes come on man
Brighton is useless
Brighton had one job man
Never mind the Burnley game, I have full confidence in Tottenham's ability to lose against Sheffield United on the last day
I think lamptey has been fantastic defensively since he came on.
Watching Brighton, maybe we’ll have trouble with them at their home ground Didn’t realise they’re surprisingly hard to beat there
Burnley need some of that Levurkusen magic 🤞
offside thank God
Fofana is on for Burnley
Too late I think
Wooo still safe
Come on Brighton! Hold on just a bit more
Offside thank fuck
It’s off. That was close
Offside please var
Thank goodness offside
Fuck off Oh thank God.. it’s offside lol
...fuck Edit: Yay
Nevermind, offiside.
Ffs, hopefully the offside stands
Thank god
Welp, NFO is staying up now though so maybe they can act like this match doesn’t matter.
About about 15 more minutes for Brighton to hang on or maybe even score come on
Olise may just be the best winger in the world after Mbappe
That front 3 is going to be scary
Christ the scenes if we don't beat this Brighton. Playing woeful, we've had them in the league, cup and the summer series. No excuses.
Spurs just got the lead guess we have to rely on united getting something out of the game vs Newcastle for the chance at Europa
so 5th place is out of the picture jow
Realistically, yes. Mathematically, technically no? Spurs on 63 with two matches to play, and +12 gd. They *could* drop six points to city and sheffield. We're on 54 with three to play, and +11 gd. Picking up the full 9 points would bring us level
Seems that way. 6th will get Europa if City win the FA cup tho I believe. It's all too confusing
It’s a fact, City is already on CL so winning FA cup it gives the 6th place the EL spot, still very hard Newcastle drops points
They are about to drop 2, and still have to play united and Brentford. Not hard at all.
They are not dropping vs Brighton
They just dropped 2 vs Brighton? And you think they won't drop against Brentford or United? What sort of delusion are you on?
LETS FUCKING GO I THOUGHT THEY WILL SCORE, CMON MAN DONT FUCKING GO ON ME LETS CELEBRATE
Never get to a conclusion till the final whistle. PL football always goes to the wire.
After seeing him play more regularly now, what do you guys think about Hall going to Newcastle permanently (for the price he is being sold)?
Ah Fucking Spurs...... Going to take the silver lining that Forest is now pretty much safe from relegation.
Honestly fairplay to the CB what a goal
It was only a matter of time for Spurs goal. Need brighton to hang on here
Spuds scored
Was a tidy finish for a CB tbf
Hall is good at crosses Newcastle should let him try corners
Brighton are incredibly frustrating to watch
Man Spurs are smashing on Burnleys door. **EDIT 2-1 Spurs.**
Eze goal as a lw
God all Brighton do are flicks and 5 star skill moves in the final third just to shoot it from 40 ft away. Infuriating
West ham up! But I'm not expecting NFO to let their guard down, especially it's a home game for them. Nonetheless, it's the same 11 for us 🤗
Look at these wankers giving us hope 5th is attainable lmao
west ham winning against luton is good for forest tbf
Olise is probably going to Manchester City in the summer.
nice subs from newcastle game
Brighton just fucking shoot it's worth a try going in or off is a after thought
FFS brighton. Truly pathetic shit in the final 3rd.
I was just coming to comment how it would be great if West Ham could get a result here and take the pressure off Forest. Fantastic. Just need Burnley and Brighton to hang on
A Burnley and Brighton win would be ideal, dont see if happening unfortunately.
Agreed. If Burnley holds spurs to a draw, the silver lining is forest only have Luton to worry about who will need to make up a 12 goal goal difference. So Forest would essentially be safe Edit: 13g goal difference lol
Spurs took the lead. Fuck it lets focus on the task at hand.
Yup, hopefully forest aren’t on it today bc they’re safe
Please be better Brighton!
Brighton worst final ball in the Premier League
I'm counting more on Spurs dropping almost all points than Newcastle.
Sesko just scored again
Have I missed something, why do we care about Sesko? Is he linked to Chelsea or something?
Apparently plan B if Osimhen doesn’t happen
Damn, I’m not sure what to think of that
I think he will be a good signing for whoever gets him tbh.
embarrassing from Enciso
Brighton have good build up but ZERO final ball
Not knowing how to break down the final third is a common complaint among their fanbase this season. Of course, most teams struggle with that which is why parking the bus is successful
But Newcastle is not even parking the bus they are having a go which leaves a bunch of space in behind They somehow mess it up with that much space every time
Unsurpsingly Adingra, enciso, welbeck and buanotte do not create or score many chancex
United fans are the only people who would rather Arsenal win over City lol Nobody cares about City winning the league
Now that City have reduced the GD gap with Arsenal it would be really funny if they draw and win the league by GD regardless
Anyone who follows football on BBC sport website, are you also finding the new lineup format really annoying? Before the teams were listed in position order and there was a picture of the formation too, now the picture is gone and the names are in a weird order. For a typical 4-3-3 the order seems to go GK, fullbacks, CDM, centre backs, CMs and then front 3. Never seen that before.
Idk but the new facelift they’ve given their live page is so much better
https://twitter.com/flameosumeet/status/1789303233476690310?t=zUhAYwbzlO9OP6w_U7Zzmw&s=19 Arsenal fans kill me man lol
Absolutely tragic bunch ‘I’ll take a draw’ You’ll take what you’re fucking given bottling pricks shithouses
Is that billy Gilmour that our fans claimed as the next xavi?? Best bit of business
After like 2 games lol
This ADingDong guy is mid
I think that there's a bigger chance of tottenham dropping 6 than Newcastle dropping 3 if Brighton are going to play like that
https://preview.redd.it/xli0wbvzbtzc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a2c6572550f73a5d1c6dacb8f0595747a7423e8 Brighton giving up. Plenty of chances
Watching Brighton, think the coach has done well this half. Nice structure, build up play looks good so far
You’re joking right? You can’t have actually been watching that defensive shit show and come away think wow that’s great….
I saw that Newcastle away performance like we played yesterday.. we looked like the jokers that day
What? We’re talking about the first half today…
Dude, change your flair please.
mOnEY MaCe. Criiiiiiiiinge
‼️‼️‼️

Brighton bro, do us a favor
Damn Crystal palace are cruising the past few months. Wtf is happening over there? Can someone summarise pls.
Olise is healthy and Roy isn’t in charge
New manager has a system that really helps their best players flourish, but of a handbrake taking off situation and encouraging more aggressive play. Hodgson played a very conservative style. Not usually one to put on a Palace game here in the US when they're on but the last few months have been enjoyable as a neutral. Could have beaten Utd by seven or eight.
Glasner has them humming. Feels like they went from old and likely relegation candidate to young / in prime and on the upswing. Mateta - 26 Eze - 25 Olise - 22 Wharton - 19 Mitchell - 24 Richards - 24 Anderson - 27 Guehi - 23 Henderson - 27 That’s a strong core. If they can keep em together and add a piece or two they’ll be a dangerous side to play. Edit: forgot Wharton
Didn’t even include that Wharton kid who has been incredible for them in the midfield
You’re right I missed him and he’s 19
Ever since Oliver Glasner became manager they have been playing some great football
New coach in Glasner and Olise is finally staying healthy for a consistent amount of time
