I gotta feeling we can beat Saints and Villa to secure Europe but with our superior GD 5 points will be enough. If we beat Newcastle the champagne will be put in ice ready.

Beat Southampton and Villa draw or lose to Liverpool away, we finish above them and in 7th. That's the most straightforward of many possibilities.

Sounds simple.

Finishing 6th is a tougher nut to crack, likely to need another 2 points from somewhere unless Spurs falter against Brentford or Leeds, in which case three points would be enough if Villa don't win at Anfield .

But beating Newcastle, Saints and City (or just two of them) means we're not relying on anyone else and can enjoy the last day of the season.

5 if Villa win at Liverpool.
Villa draw or lose and it's 3 points for 7th.
Of course, should Villa beat Liverpool that drags Liverpool within our sights again.

If (sorry when... we make Europe) I feel this is massive for the club and the City of Brighton & Hove and FAR exceeds promotion to the PL. Regardless if no club has ever done this before I think an open-top bus tour of the City of Brighton and Hove is in order. By the players not fans on a tourist open-top bus that is!

That bloody Spurs game again. We are 'really' seven points above them right now!!

We don’t have a good record against Villa lately so I don’t want to have to win the last game of the season to get into Europe. 4 more points may be enough 5 will almost certainly be enough.
I think we need more positive vibes about our last game of the season.

Villa might need a win, we might just need a draw. We can do it!

5 points out of 12 - yes, but let's face it, with the games we have it's a tough ask! Ideal situation would be racking up at villa 3 points ahead of them and wth 6th. place guaranteed. Villa need a point to get 7th. and push Spurs down to 8th. (and out of Europe). I suppose if Villa needed all three (but would still finish behind us) we could stage a ceremonial Dunk OG at 90+1 minutes!

Oh what fun we could have, kicking the ball around gently near the centre circle! Revenge would be so sweet!

Just one more win may well be enough, but yes 5 points would be great… I would like 6th secured before Villa - even if it’s a case of Villa and Spurs results going our way at the weekend. Would bite your hand off for a point against Newcastle as I think we’ll beat Southampton…

I can’t see Spurs & Villa getting maximum remaining points. 4 points out of 6 is more likely. So it could be just 3 points needed to get 6th…

I think the next four games will be season defining.

Spurs will lose at Leeds & I doubt they'll get much against Brentford on Saturday so they'll finish 8th.
Villa can get to 63 maximum. With our GD 63 will get us 6th. Villa lose to Liverpool and we beat Saints then we are uncatchable in 6th. :albion2:
