It comes down to the West Ham game for me, I'm confident we'll beat Middlesbrough at Anfield on the last day of the season so if we can beat West Ham as well then that guarantees at least 4th place!
3rd would be nice but as long as we are top 4 I'll be happy with this season.

I agree, Middlesbrough will just want the season to end last day, if we go into that needing a win for third or fourth I would be confident and happily take that. IS Carroll fit again? I hope not.... Utd are now in the EL final, so will Mourinho rest key players for that and not risk playing them in the last few games? they have Spurs away at the weekend which will be a difficult game, even though it's likely Chelsea will win the PL tomorrow, I think we will finish 4th, but hoping for 3rd, City still have a rick in them and they play WBA, so could trip them up. Arsenal have also put together a decent run recently, and they have Everton last game, imagine if Everton need to lose for Arsenal to get top 4, they would happily throw that game for us to miss top 4 !!!

All we have to do is win our last 2 games and we are top 4, we need to forget the season so far and just focus on winning these, it's 2 cup finals, I hope we go out there attacking teams and going for the win playing Lallana & Sturridge, that's when we play best, unlike our last few games.

I don't think the season will be a complete failure,we have improved massively in the league from last season. Utd having spent so much and being that far behind in the league...that's failure, and Mr super duper manager Guardiola would have been sacked by Christmas at most of Europes big clubs on his teams performance and outlay. We are not as bad as people make out and I reckon we will hold 3rd. If we don't qualify for CL this season will be a failure to me. We had decent cup runs last season which we didn't this year and not qualifying for CL will be the same as last year, our improvement being only because we had fewer games this season as we went to the Europa league final last year.

I think Man Utd are out of the race for top 4, I cannot see them getting a positive result at Spurs. Arsenal seem to have come back into form although they have Stoke away tomorrow, a game that has traditionally tripped them up. It wouldn't surprise me if none of Liverpool, Arsenal or Man Utd win this weekend. I think City will finish third.

We haven't been good enough since the Everton win, probably because Mane is injured since. I will be pleasantly surprised if we beat WH but have problems to see this happen

I cant see us beating West Ham. And Arsenal look to be finding some confidence. It will be tight but my feeling is we will finish 5th and there will be an almighty sheeet storm of PR spin coming out of the club namely gossip and rumours about top players we are looking at signing but not really.
The football press will be mocking us for being weak.

I'm going to be brave and say 4th. City will overtake us. It could go to the final weekend to decide it Unless we win at west ham to ease the pressure.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

We'll get one point from the remaining two games and finish 5th
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

If we finish out of the top four and united win europa, I will be devastated. We need to put everything into the next two games.
