Since the season is coming to a close and we are missing out on top 4....

[Billy. 2,742]

we aint getting into the top four now so sod the league and lets just go for the two cups imo

[capriccioso 2,545]

Absolutely. It would be criminal if we didn't play them.

[English Freak 456]

A lot of names being thrown out here. How is Lalkovic doing?

Haven't heard about that talented kid in ages. I'm guessing he'll leave CFC soon, just like Sinclair, Borini, Cork.

Sure, bring in a youngster or two, why not. But i would especially like to see this upfront

Ramires - Mata - Kalou

[Kezza 1,965]

With the results of today..Tottenham drawing, Newcastle losing against City, the race for 4th is still on. Therefore I don't think we should play as many of the youth as we would like, especially against Liverpool.

Final game for Newcastle v Everton

Final game for Spurs v Fulham

They can drop points easily

[Liquidator 5,176]

Lets be honest even if we beat Liverpool at Anfield where we have been piss poor for the last few seasons we will still be 1 point off 5th. On the last day Spurs play Fulham, which the spuds should win, Newcastle go to Everton, which Newcastle should win, and Arsenal play West Brom. Of course, there may be a few upsets but really do you think that all 3 of Newcastle, Arsenal and Spurs will lose? It is not worth the risk of putting out our best side against Blackburn who may be fighting for their lives and playing physical hoofball which could injure players for the final. Lukaku, Bertrand, Hutchinson should all play at least one of the games against Blackburn or Liverpool. Another reason we should play rubbish against Blackburn is because it increases the chance that QPR will be relegated

On another note I really don't think Chalobah should play. He is nowhere near physically ready for Premier League football so it could do him more harm than good being thrown in at the deep end.

Fulham have one of the best records in london derbies this season and have taken points of us and Arsenal away from home this season. Can see Spurs drawing

Everton are one tough cookie at goodison as we know and they'll be determined to finish above Liverpool and so will give it there all.

Arsenal have lost 3 key players and haven't won a game since early April and they'll be going to a west brom side hoping to give Woy a good send off.

Should we beat Liverpool, then we have a decent chance

[capriccioso 2,545]

What if Spurs, Arsenal and Newcastle have signed a Devil's pact to play shit until week 38 to keep us interested in the league, thus tiring out our players for Munich for no reason?

Fulham can beat Spurs, Everton at Goodison will not be easy for the Toon. Arsenal will probably win, though. It would be great if we could sneak 4th place.

[RamiCFC9 258]

If we get 4th at this point, it will be the robbery of the century.

Not that I'm putting any high hopes here but to get into 4th, we need both Spurs & Newcastle to drop points in any form(DRAW/LOSE) in the last game. To finish in 3rd(!), again need both Spurs & Newcastle to DRAW/LOSE & Arsenal to suffer a defeat at the Hawthorns. That is of course only possible if we beat Liverpool and Blackburn.

On those 3 games you mentioned, it won't be easy for either one of them. One would think Tottenham would easily beat Fulham at the Lane and especially with their poor away record but let's not forget this is a London derby and Fulham have the best record in it this season(W3 D3 L1).

Regarding Newcastle going to Everton, I'm surprised you said they should win there. I mean, no teams will find it easy to play Everton at Goodison and particularly with the Toffees in good form right now and would want to finish above Liverpool. Newcastle may well drop points there.

Arsenal going up against West Brom away is a potential banana skin for them. You never know which Arsenal are gonna turn up these days as defensively, they were extremely hopeless against Norwich. Also, they have not won any of their last 4 games AND have failed to win a single PL match this season when Arteta has not played. On West Brom, it's Woy last home game at the Hawthorns and his players would want to end on a high note for him. So, not easy by any means for Arsenal.

However, as said earlier, not getting my hopes too high. It all depends on tonight.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

If tottenham and/or Newcastle lose their game and we win both we will take 4th place. And I believe that will happen.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Have to beat Liverpool first, going to be tough, but if we can come out with 3 points... it's going to be a very interesting last day of the season.

[capriccioso 2,545]

There's a chance. Neither of them have ever been in situations like these before, there's a fair chance of them bottling it.

[FormerRussianSpy 163]

After the Liverpool result, why not? A one-off game for a select couple of youngsters surely won't upset their development (as some have suggested). Fitness for the UC final is the top priority anyway, right?

Would be awesome to see Piazon & Lukaku playing from the start against the Chickens.
