To be fair, not all of us bought into it (see post 46). Look, it's easy to be wise after the event. And we were particularly dire against Everton which caused some to doubt. But the sheer number of games left with points up for grabs made me think that we'd have enough chances. It just so...

Danny Welbeck speaking to Match of the Day: "It was very important we responded after the last game. We stuck to our morals, played our football and got a great victory at the end of the day." "It's not something that happens by luck. We work hard during the week and today it's paid off. We...

Deniz Undav speaking to Sky Sports: "We showed a good reaction after defeat by Everton. It was a big three points and we're happy we got the win." "The manager showed us a Michael Jordan video, to show us how he motivated himself each game. He showed us after the defeat by Everton and I think...

As well as the kebab, Deniz should probably order some chips as he clearly enjoys them so much. USA stream has just shown him getting the congratulations from other players in the dressing room. Plenty of love there.

It's right up there with the best ever, isn't it? And I know that I've said that more than once on NSC this season.

I'm doing it now!

"The would-be champions are crushed on their own patch as Brighton reach for the skies!" - USA commentary

"They are a beautiful, beautiful football team and they are worthy of this victory." - USA commentary

I'm not sure we need someone who isn't ever likely to blossom, but continually reproduces spore performances.

No. We've been better than Villa for the majority of the season and were clearly better than Spurs in our recent game. The better teams generally finish higher in the table, so as bad a blip as Everton was, it's just a bump in the road to Europe. With 15 points to play for, there's every...

According to the BBC live text, "some fans also said there were problems with the sound while watching at home." They could've just turned the volume down.

Panem et circenses.

Eurovision 2024 in Sweden, 50 years on from Waterloo at the Dome. Abba reunion performance please. The real ones, not the holograms. Either way, it'll be a step up from Sonia...

Mae should've written another song instead.

9 points for the UK in the public vote. 2nd last year, 2nd to last this year.

Villa could even draw at Liverpool which would put them on 58 points. A win against Southampton would put us on 58 points. Avoiding defeat against Villa in the last game would be enough for 7th on GD regardless of anything else bar a 14 goal swing. Now it goes without saying we wouldn't want...

No, they'll go into the Europa League. In that case, there'll be 8 English teams in Europe next season.

First up - my sweepstake Austria. It's all about Edgar. Top 7 so we can qualify for Europe next season.

There's an argument to say that the players (and more importantly manager) are more likely to stay if we reach Europe. West Ham made the Europa SF last season and still finished 7th in the league. We've been much better than them this season. And with the strength of the EPL, we might have a...

Spurs have won 1 of the last 6 games and 2 from their last 9. On that form alone, they won't win both games. 4 points max. Villa won't win away at Liverpool next week. A draw and even if they beat us would leave them on 61 points. Six points then - a home win v Southampton plus one from the...
