Bournemouth moved to within 4 pts of us but then blow it. Beat Palace and it's done.

Not mathematically but y'know.... it's enough.

Although I'm now looking at Brentford and their five games left. Plus the narrative gods.

It’s taken a while but arsenal could lose the league on goal difference. Sweet.

It’s like if we had been caught last season.  We would have been wrecks.

i see a flaw in your cunning plan

[Cobs]

We should just win all our remaining games then we’ll come 3rd

oh yeah, there's no way any of them aren't thinking of catastrophe now.

Late game vs Newcastle on Sat - Newcastle are s***e but then away at Atleti looms after that.

Newcastle have lost 4 of their last 6, so time to put the skids on that form and make a push for the last whatever they call it European spot

[charlie clown]

Yeah, that’s the thing with Newcastle, every now and again they pull out a really good result against one of the big boys. Arsenal will be mentally all over the place. So it seems as good as time as any to let the barcodes finally do something useful.

Newcastle coming out of their slump probably worries arsenal fans in the same way Chelsea coming out of theirs worries me.

’they can’t be this bad forever’

insert obligatory mick mccarthy gif etc.

Before we give the trophy to City they weren't very good last night against a terrible team

Yeah Arsenal will be given a glimmer of hope with them not extending the GD especially after city scored early.

Leicester City, PL winners a decade ago will play their final home game of the season tomorrow evening.

It will be on TV even though they are already relegated to League One, judging by this article, their future is not looking good.

They’ll be playing my local team Bromley FC next year. Which is absolutely mad.

Forest 4 up at Sunderland.

Sunderland appear to be on the beach.

Forest utterly rampant at Sunderland. About a dozen home fans remain after just forty minutes.

Not good news for Spurs that.

Pretty much just leaves Spurs or West Ham now.

Spurs: Wolves A, Villa A, Leeds H, Chelsea A, Everton H.

West Ham: Everton H, Brentford A, Arsenal H, Newcastle A, Leeds H.

Sadly, I think Spurs' remaining games are a little easier unless they somehow absolutely eff up the one tomorrow.

[Foxtrot]

Just imagine Spurs not winning at Wolves. I mean, who doesn’t win against Wolves?!

[Zoob]

Didn't change the game cos it was over at HT, but Sunderland had a really odd goal disallowed by VAR. Player gets to the ball from  a set piece, stretches to scoop it back into 6 yard box and in doing so he slid on and made contact with the keeper (which did make it harder for keeper to stop the goal) but it couldn't possibly have been deliberate. So if you get to the ball first, and then accidentally make contact with opponent in follow through, it's a foul?

Spurs haven’t won a league game this calendar year though. I reckon they need to be winning 3 of their remaining games to stay up.

Yet keepers punching players in the head is deemed ok
