We need to forget  forest now they too far ahead we need to be targeting  4th and 5th.

Forest i think will have done incredibly well to get CL but they are not going to be able to cope with that and league thats for sure
I am not sure, they have a very tricky run in and have been incredibly lucky with injuries.
.i think the opposite.  They have a lot of midtable sides to play that dint really have much to play for. I think our run in is tougher than theirs
Forest don’t have that tricky a run in only play Villa and Chelsea of top 10 teams.

We're 9/1 to finish top 5 if anyone's feeling confident.

I genuinely think our best chance of qualifying is by winning it.

Next league game is crucial :Brighton is a must win. They are 2pts ahead of us and Win of 3pts  takes us ahead and takes points away from them.

Well consider this:

Would we rather play 5 games against PSG twice , Arsenal or Real Madrid twice and a final Vs Barcelona /Bayern/Inter .(draws allowed along the way to final)

or win all 5 games against Brighton, Newcastle , Man City, Fulham, Bournemouth.

The remainder of the season have to be the best.

I dunno, it's just instinct. We don't feel consistent enough away from home to finish above at least half a dozen other contenders. On our day, we're good enough to beat anyone at home. Not saying we will, but a couple of Villa Park second legs, potentially. You never know.

I agree.

On the balance of probabilities I'm not predicting it, obviously, but we've generally risen to the occasion in the CL.

I think we're more likely to put in three or four outstanding performances against teams who are almost certain to underestimate us and give us space, than we are to reverse a year of patchy League form and win pretty much every game between now and the end of the season.

I agree. I'm going for an FA Cup win though and Europa League football next season.

I disagree, there's a reason we're 9/1 to finish top 5 and 28/1 to win the Champions League.

I do agree that an FA Cup win and Europa League next season is more likely than either of the above.

I'd take that.

If the lardarse, shirtless Northern West Brom can win something, surely it's time we can. Those self-adoring dickheads would spend their whole lives wanking into a mirror if only it was fat enough.

Id take fa cup win and europa tbh. If we miss out on CL so be it if we win fa cup.

I do think we would be in a good place to challenge for a CL spot again next season if we miss out this season

I don't understand that thinking.  The Europa league has as many matches as the Champions league.  Making the Europa has exactly the same demands on the squad as the CL?
