    I just looked it up on ESPN site, says Ali is on six yellows, that would mean he's ok til he reaches ten if it up to date.

    If they can hold out until second week of April the yellow card amnesty kicks in and its wiped clean.

    Otherwise two more yellows before then and a two game ban.

    I wonder if they got 2 yellows(+red) in one match, to make 10 total, would that mean 4 match suspension?

    West ham
    ARSENAL
    villa
    BOURNEMOUTH
    Liverpool
    UNITED
    stoke
    WEST BROM
    chelsea
    SOUTHAMPTON
    Newcastle

    (Home games in caps)

    So there it is? Maybe what three "easy" games at best and one each against the old "top 4" that we rarely beat historically.

    Do I think it's possible? Absolutely. In fact If we get into that Liverpool game unbeaten or somehow continue the winning run I think we will actually do it. It's exciting/nervous times over the next few months.

    Im dreading the Liverpool game. It would be just like them to derail us.

    I'm dreading the west ham game. They always do us there.

    Also anyone think we could be playing Newcastle away with a win for us handing us the league and potentially sending Newcastle down?

    How many of those 11 games do you reckon we need to win to be in with a shout? If we win 8 for example do we have a chance?

    I'd say anything over 27 points should just scrape it.

    There's two defeats minimum in Leicester if any of the remaining teams play like Norwich did.

    Kante out for 2 weeks for Leicester.

    Key man for them. As critical as Dier is for us. No idea who their replacement is but he's unlikely to be of the same calibre.

    He's been unreal for them this season.

    Gokhan Inler will probably replace him, hasn't really performed this season.

    Paul Merson has predicted a 3-1 defeat to West Ham.

    Here's our remaining fixtures, with the possibility of 5 more games in the Europa League if we beat Dortmund.

    West Ham (Away)
    Arsenal (Home)
    Bor Dortmd (Away)
    Aston Villa (Away)
    Bor Dortmd (Home)
    Bournemouth (Home)
    Liverpool (Away)
    Man Utd (Home)
    Stoke (Away)
    West Brom (Home)
    Chelsea (Away)
    Southampton (Home)
    Newcastle (Away)

    Arsenal, Liverpool, United and Chelsea. That is not an easy ask. Liverpool and United we should be beating, but Chelsea are back on form and Arsenal need to get a win if they want to get their title challenge back on track. It'll be very tough for us to keep close to, or overtake, Leicester with their run of games. I just can't see them dropping many points against the teams they are playing.

    Either way, it's great to be challenging, and would be absolutely fantastic if we managed to do it (obviously).

    Tottenham (away) should be an easy 3 points... :)

    7 more games to win the Europa League is an awful ordeal. Such a marathon of a tournament.

    Imagine we won it and didn't even need the Champions League prize.

    Ha well of course, I'm not saying it wouldn't be great to win a European trophy.

    But it would also be a waste of a Champions League spot, after all our disappointing seasons to qualify for it twice in one season.

    it might be the new "Spursy" if we qualified twice for the Champions league in one season wouldn't it?

    It's great that we can laugh! :D

    They should allow us to defer it to some other season when we fail to finish top 4.


    *cough*

    I like it.
