and there we are. We should have this if we don't collapse in Napoli.

A 2-0 victory on paper looks great, but having watched the match I can't help but feel a little bit disappointed. 2-0 up very early in the match, 25th minute, and they couldn't find a way to seemingly close out the tie with another goal.

Napoli were terrible. Especially in the first half. Like my God Ramsey is going to wreck that league if that's the 2nd best Italy has to offer.

Really hope this doesn't bite us in the arse. Should have punished them on multiple occasions.

What an odd goal

Watford were seemingly dominating the first 10 minutes and then wow, what a gaffe.

A red card immediately after, this game has done a complete 180 quickly.

That was a really bad call on Fat Drake.

Arsenal look really poor this half, even up a man. Just something about them playing on the road, the formation and their play go to shite.

We could use Ozil right now. Maybe take off Mhki.

You get your wish. Ozil on, but Torreira off. Think that might be reactionary from Emery, since he was getting booed so much from the home fans. Just seems odd to take off your defensive mid when you are holding onto the lead.

Whew, I will take the 3 points, but wow did Arsenal look really poor this match. Up a man nearly the entire match and still played like shite. It's disappointing, but they kept their hopes alive for a top 4 finish.

We make things harder than they need to be for sure.

In a great position for top four and Europa with a month left. Getting there hasn’t always been pretty, but results wise it’s been about as good a first season as could be expected so far.

Need to finish it off though. Top 4 or EL title is an absolute must, but preferably both.

We're only 1 pt back of the shite heads in 3rd. With our remaining schedule compared to theirs, we should finish ahead

I was looking at the schedule yesterday, and I'm not so sure.

Home vs CP (13th) - Home, should handle business
Away vs Wolves (8th) - Road vs top 10 team will be tough
Away vs Leicester (7th) - Road vs top 10 team will be tough

Home vs Brighton (17th) - Again, home should be fine for us, but they could be fighting relegation. Ideally, they are safe by then.
Away vs Burnley (14th) - Seems easy against a safe low level team, but it's away. So, who knows.

Those two bold ones will be tough.

Spurs have

Away at Man City
Home vs Brighton
Home vs West Ham
Away at Bournemouth
Home vs Everton

Both teams should get 8-10 more points. Gonna be close.

For me, we need a result against either Wolves or Leceister.

The win against Watford was massive.

Should hold serve at home, away matches will determine our fate.

Thankfully, we can drop a least one match, maybe two, as I see Spurs, Chelsea, and United all losing at least one more match.

If we get to 75 points, I think we're good

We could easily end above them.

Or we could all end on level points and it go to gd.

Leceister game worries me, the rest I think we can get results.

If we can't handle Brighton or a Burnley team basically stuck where they are. Then we prob don't deserve being in 3rd.

Ramsey picks up a hamstring injury and had to be subbed in the 1st half
