We’ve gone back to being under the radar hopefully. According to the BBC website:
“Premier League build-up - Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, Man City, Man Utd, Newcastle in action”
So the 3rd placed team in the league aren’t playing then? Twats but its probably a good thing.

Anyone think this sort of thing doesn’t lead to bias in officials’ decisions?

I'm sure it does.
Like I'm sure we wouldn't have got the penalty that Newcastle did on Sunday. We didn't get a more blatant one away at Wolves and we wouldn't have got that one either.

Points from the 7 teams we’ve faced twice this season. 1 6 4 4 4 0 0 which equates to 19pts an average of 2.7 points per pair. Across all pairs would give us 51 points and we are gonna score more. Before Fulham and Newcastle it was 3.8 points per pair which is a 72 point finish our identical ppg over a season has finish on of course 72.
The only teams we can better are Arsenal Man City and Chelsea. We had 28 points first half from the remaining twelve teams. We beed 25pts to get to 72 which is 8 wins and a draw/7 wins 4 draws
Edit to add from 3rd-10th only Brighton have loss less then us on 6. Everyone else is on 7 apart from Newcastle and man city who are on 8
First 8 games = 13
Second 8 games = 11
8 teams now played twice, points won 1 6 4 4 4 0 0 1 equates to 20pts, 2.5 per pair (1st half 9pts/2nd half 11pts, interesting)
Ppg is 1.78 over a season gets us 68 points which was fourth last season, we need 20pts from 11 games those 11 games in the first half were 9 wins 1 draw 1 loss (Chelsea/City the draw and loss)

I still think that last game of the season against Chelsea is going to be massive.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.

So after last night.
Forest will need to win 58% of their remaining games to get champions league spot.
Man city 61%
Chelsea 64%
Newcastle 70%
Bournemouth and Brighton 73%
Fulham 76%
Villa 83%
Chelsea and Fulham still need to play 5 teams from the top 10 as things stand in the league.
Man city, Bournemouth and Newcastle 4
Forest and Brighton 3
Villa 6
Things might be tight and have us looking over our shoulder a bit. But a lot of those chasing are going to be taking points off each other and really we are coming out of a rough set of games in a good position while the others will be entering there round of harder games.

4 wins from 11 games gets us to 60 points. In this weird season where everything is so bunched up that might be enough for 5th and the extra champions league spot. 5 wins and 63 points....I really do think that's enough.
5 wins not a given though! Just because we beat most of the teams we've got to play in the first half of the season, doesn't make it a given!

Definitely not. Spurs, Everton and Palace have all improved. Leicester and Ipswich will be scrapping for their lives. Man U, Brentford and West Ham all very inconsistent.

Winner takes all for the last CL place.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful though if a draw secured a CL place for both and we play out a tippy tappy friendly.
