 Canterbury Palace  Whitstable 09 May 24 10.58am |

After our recent run, we've narrowed the gap to the teams above us. It's very unlikely but we could theoretically still finish as high as 9th. With a few million per place at stake, this could impact our summer spending. Currently the table reads... 9th - West Ham (49pts -14GD) The fixtures of the teams above us: West Ham - Luton (H), City (.A) Some very difficult fixtures there and I reckon ours is the easiest run in. However, by my maths if we we were to beat Wolves by 2 goals at the weekend, we'd probably be 12th given that Fulham play City. Were West Ham and Bournemouth to somehow lose, suddenly they'd be within our reaches. Annoyingly Brighton have an extra fixture, even if they're all tricky. Lots of ifs and buts I know but where do you think we'll finish? Edited by Canterbury Palace (09 May 2024 10.59am)

Ah, another who stares and stares at the table working out every possible scenario. I will opt for: 12th place

I reckon we'll get to 11th with West Ham and Brighton just staying ahead of us. We'd have to win both games but, given how full of confidence we are, I don't reckon that's beyond the realms of possibility.

EPL rules. If we win ours and accrue 5 more goals including offsetting the ones they let in then we beat them on GD by One.

Our GD is better than theirs already.
