Nobody has mentioned Crystal Palace. They’re currently below us on goal difference, and should they lose their game in hand against Everton, their remaining fixtures are City away, Brentford away, and Arsenal at home. Hopefully Everton beat them, and it’s very interesting.

A very valid point, C&J.

Think the writing is on the wall, C&J, where on earth are Wet Spam getting enough points to survive, let alone all the teams above them losing all theirs as well. They are gone imo.

Agreed re West Ham. I would be very surprised if they got anything v Arsenal, and if they don't, we're safe. I also think Spurs may be lulling themselves into a false sense of security, having just played two poor teams.

C&J, yes, a very good point. ?

West Ham sneaking a draw against Arsenal will, in all reality, be enough as goal difference is heavily in our favour.

I do think it looks like the Hammers are gone, especially after their awful display against Brentford yesterday, but we all know football is a funny old game. Should the unthinkable happen, and they win their remaining fixtures, I was looking at Palace; with them almost in the Europa Conference League final, they will be going all out for that.

If they lose their game in hand against Everton, they have a very difficult last 3 games. We just need to carry on doing what we have been doing, and we will be fine. Great spirit throughout the team.

Spam for me. Gone. Awful yesterday. Prefer Spuds, but they can go next season with Coventry and Ipswich. ??

Also C&J, don't forget Palace have the further distraction of a Euro Conference League game against Shakhtar Donetsk this Thursday.
To all those Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton fans yearning to be in Europe next season, I say "be careful what you wish for".

It's a good shout re Palace in the mix, and their remaining fixtures.

As others have said, Arsenal beat West Ham away next weekend, and we are finally mathematically safe.

Arsenal have a very good recent record at West Ham, thrashing them in both past 2 seasons.

West Ham 2 vs Arsenal 5.

And

the rather shocking

West Ham 0 vs Arsenal 6.
