Hopefully the victory over Man City will give our players the confidence to go on a strong run in our final few fixtures. As it stands, we're 9 points behind Liverpool with 3 games in hand. We're 6 behind Man U and 7 behind City with 1 game in hand.
However, United and City are playing each other so at least one of them will drop points (or both in the event of a draw). Winning our games in hand would therefore put us level with one of the 3 realistic competitors for the final 2 CL spots, and either level or 1 point behind another.
FA Cup final and Champions League qualification wouldn't be a bad return in a season where we've underperformed so badly
Top 4 still on

We will get top 4 as the others will drop too many points in games everyone expects them to win.

Our games in hand are Leicester (H), Southampton (A) and Sunderland (H). Sunderland will be down by the time we play them but the other 2 games will be extremely difficult. Then factor in we have to go to WHL, play Mourinho and also have Everton to visit us there is no way we will get enough points to finish top 4. Realistically we need to win at least 5 of our last 7 games with room for 2 draws. Can't see it.

We have Leicester at home up next which SHOULD be 3 points. After that, we have Spurs at the dump and then Man U at home. Get decent results in those two and the league table looks a lot better

Don't really give a fack about the top 4. Honestly wouldn't mind Europa and facing some different opposition.

I would look forward to the Europa too if not for the fact Wenger wouldn't take it seriously.
And by a miracle he decided to leave in the Summer, you wonder if Allegri would want to manage a team in the Europa league. Or if Alexis would want to play in the Europa

Meh, I'm done thinking long term with this club. The fans clearly don't have a voice. Just worry about things when they come man, what happens will happen.

Leicester will probably beat you. Vardy will get freedom of pitch and exploit you.
