Need something from Arsenal or it's going to the final day.

A repeat of our last couple of home matches against arsenal would be nice.

A point against arsenal might not be enough. Obviously a lot depends on how Everton do in their two games before we play. If they lose both, 35 might be enough but feel we are likely going to need a win on that last day unless we can upset the odds and beat arsenal.

Certainly is now, having claimed a superb point.

I think 35 will be enough however I don't think it'll be comfortable.

With our goal difference then I just feel with the remaining fixtures that we will need that extra point. We've seen Leeds become a lot more resolute and they played their hardest matches. A Newcastle win today and its totally different but they didn't.

We would anticipate Everton losing tomorrow so their last away game is wolves. If Everton lose that then they could still get to 35 with a superior goal difference with Bournemouth. Leeds have every chance of getting 3 points against a fairly indifferent spurs team at home especially with the Elland roof crowd

Basically, if Everton or Leeds get anything in their next away match, we will definitely need 36 points.

Hopefully by the times Leeds play, we will already have hit that total with a win against arsenal.

Ultimately what I think I'm saying is that I would rather have our points tally with either Everton or Leeds fixtures

It'll be tense but I'm not giving Leeds the win at home to Spurs as long as Kane plays. Think Spurs are good at soaking up a press too, I fancy them to win that game against Leeds personally.

Good news for the West Ham game is its not directly before the final so they won't be resting players. Might be tired though.

- Fantastic away point.
- Two of our own absolutely outstanding: If Joe plays like that consistently, he has shown he can cut it in this league. Yates as well, shook off any rust and was inspirational.
- Taiwo seems to have found his scoring boots at just the right time, (never a wrong time I suppose).
- First half display so controlled.
- The response to going behind.
- the support.

Negatives.
- Not great goals conceded to put it mildly. Mistakes are creeping in to Felipes game which is a worry.
- If Niakhate puts away the chance, it could even have been 3 points.
- the number of times our creative players gave the ball away cheaply 2nd half was frustrating and invited even more unnecessary pressure. If they want to become top players and fulfill their obvious potential they needs to improve this aspect of their game-and fast for sake of my heart and fingernails.

My heart just about back to normal. A great point. Maybe 3 consecutive draws will be what keeps us safe...
