Tonight's Footy matches

[joey13]

We have beaten them once this season already

Game in hand is Villa away

[Rileybobs]

Actually it hardly matters, we'd still have to match leeds over the last 2 games.

It would matter, it would mean Leeds need to win one of their last two to have any chance.

[IanMcL]

Just a point for Everton. Still catchable.

[FCBurnley]

I feel confident that if we can find 1 more win we will stay up. Just not sure where it will come from !!!

[clarethomer]

Not the worst results tonight

[Bordeauxclaret]

Actually it hardly matters, we'd still have to match leeds over the last 2 games.

3 draws might be enough.

[IanMcL]

De Bruyne 4

[Spijed]

"Burnley with a game in hand" sounds great on the radio until you realise it's Spurs away...

They've been beaten at home by Brighton, Wolves and Southampton.

Surely if they can beat them then we have a chance, no matter how small.

[Rileybobs]

Great evening of results. Bit of a blow for Everton only picking up a point as they would have practically guaranteed safety with a win. And they’ve ended Watford’s horrible home losing streak. Everton with 3 tricky games still to come aren’t completely out of it.

A win for us would/will be huge

[TheOriginalLongsider]

I don’t think we need any more points. Leeds are going down

[boatshed bill]

3 draws might be enough.

Yes, anything "might" be enough.

[Bordeauxclaret]

It would matter, it would mean Leeds need to win one of their last two to have any chance.

Not necessarily.

[Rileybobs]

Not necessarily.

Good point. Terrible maths by me. But regardless, a point against Spurs would be huge.

[ElectroClaret]

Its the current spate of injuries that's screwing us up.
Ordinarily, I'd back us for a point, but Tarks is a big miss.

[FCBurnley]

Been a good day for us. Just worried if Tarks is missing for the last 3.

[Vegas Claret]

Wolves getting spanked is good for us, gives Brighton a chance to go 8th if they win at Leeds

[TonbridgeClaret]

If Leeds lose and we win on Sunday, they will be down. Unlikely, but you never know!

[IanMcL]

Foden hit post from Debruyne pass.

[IanMcL]

If Leeds lose and we win on Sunday, they will be down. Unlikely, but you never know!

What an incentive!

[gandhisflipflop]

One day at a time. We all should be rooting for an arsenal win tomorrow as it means Spurs won’t have anything to play for on Sunday

[AwayClaret]

Actually it hardly matters, we'd still have to match leeds over the last 2 games.

Of course it matters.

[gandhisflipflop]

If Leeds lose and we win on Sunday, they will be down. Unlikely, but you never know!

Not quite, Everton would need to avoid defeat.

[Swizzlestick]

That’s an awful result for Everton against Watford reserves. They’re right back in it now.

[boatshed bill]

Of course it matters.

Not mathematically.

[CombatClaret]

That’s an awful result for Everton against Watford reserves. They’re right back in it now.

Brentford & Palace at home, you'd think there are points for them there.

Many Leeds fans of the same opinion as I am. They just need to beat Brighton as we'll struggle to find 3 points for our last three games.

[4:20]

One day at a time. We all should be rooting for an arsenal win tomorrow as it means Spurs won’t have anything to play for on Sunday

I was thinking about this too. An Arsenal win would cement Tottenham finishing in 5th place. Could work in our favour.

[AfloatinClaret]

If Leeds lose and we win on Sunday, they will be down. Unlikely, but you never know!

What if they subsequently beat Arsenal 25 - 0?
Unlikely but you never know!

[matttheclaret]

Not mathematically.

Of course it would be a massive help.

If we drew at Spurs and lost the other two and Leeds drew with Brighton and lost to Brentford, would it still not mathematically matter?

Every point is crucial

[Zlatan]

If Leeds lose and we win on Sunday, they will be down. Unlikely, but you never know!

Not quite, but if they lose and we win - we won’t be down barring a massive swing in goal difference - Everton could still drop though

[Rileybobs]

Not mathematically.

How can it not mathematically matter? It would mean Leeds need to find one more point than they would if we lose.

[Vegas Claret]

another 5 for City

[boatshed bill]

Of course it would be a massive help.

If we drew at Spurs and lost the other two and Leeds drew with Brighton and lost to Brentford, would it still not mathematically matter?

Every point is crucial

We only have to match Leeds' results.
Their goal difference is like a point to us.

[AwayClaret]

Not mathematically.

Yes of course but I didn't say mathematically. It will be huge for us if we got a draw it'll mean Leeds will have a bit of pressure on them and they'll feel they will need to beat Brighton. A point against Brigton and they're still below us and we'll have a game in hand. It's all ifs and buts anyway but a point would be huge against spurs for a few reasons.

[claretblue]

"Burnley with a game in hand" sounds great on the radio until you realise it's Spurs away...

our game in hand is Aston Villa!

[boatshed bill]

Yes of course but I didn't say mathematically. It will be huge for us if we got a draw because it'll mean Leeds will have a bit of pressure on them and they'll feel they will need to beat Brighton. A point against Brigton and they're still below us and we'll have a game in hand. It's all ifs and buts anyway but a point would be huge against spurs for a few reasons.

Morale wise, yes.

[IanMcL]

Sterling misses 3-4 for every one he scores!

Debruyne scores 3-4 for every one he misses!

[AwayClaret]

I give up

[Spijed]

Chelsea were very impressive tonight, despite the fear Leeds could win the game.

Leeds barely got into their penalty area, such was the Chelsea dominance.

[IanMcL]

Now Debruyne hits post! Hopeless or what?

[Vino blanco]

And some on here say City play boring tippy tappy football.

[boatshed bill]

I give up

We just need to match Leeds results, it's no different,

[martin_p]

One day at a time. We all should be rooting for an arsenal win tomorrow as it means Spurs won’t have anything to play for on Sunday

This. If Spurs lose tomorrow they are guaranteed fifth, no higher, no lower. Hotels will be booked.

[IanMcL]

And some on here say City play boring tippy tappy football.

They are the one team who play tippy tippy with an edge and purpose. They create chance after chance.

Other just send you to sleep.

[Rileybobs]

We just need to match Leeds results, it's no different,

And a point on Sunday would give us a better chance of matching their results wouldn't it.

[boatshed bill]

And a point on Sunday would give us a better chance of matching their results wouldn't it.

if they win their last two?

[Rileybobs]

if they win their last two?

To put it simply, will we stand a better chance of avoiding relegation if we lose or win on Sunday?

[AwayClaret]

If we get a point at Spurs it'll mean Leeds only have one outcome (win) to go above us. If we lose they'll have 2 outcomes (win or draw) to go above us. Plus we play before Leeds and a point will put massive pressure on them to win. So a point at Spurs will be huge.

[Lancasterclaret]

Almost as good a set of results as we could hope for tonight

Arsenal win tomorrow would certainly help

Up to us just to try to get as many points as possible in the remaining games and I think we are at the stage where four might well be enough

[AwayClaret]

Apologies Spurs could beat us 25-0 that'll give Leeds another outcome to go above us.
