    Norman got a reaction from McMuffin in Where do you think we'll finish this season?   
    2 wins and a draw will do it. 88 points. Don't think anyone else will get more than 87 points now.
    Bolton haven't won away in 8 games and Peterborough and Barnsley won't get more than 5 wins and a draw each in 7 games. 
    I'm usually pessimistic in my outlook, generally, but I think we are going to finish top 2 now.

    11 points behind 4th with a vastly inferior GD to both Villa and Tottenham, with only the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Brighton away left. 
    Easy.
    They could have easily lost 4-0 last night. SM's face said it all when Mount scored.

    How other social media companies compare with the new twitter is clearly relevant to many people on the thread. In this case, everyone else except Twitter is being sued for damaging children's mental health. Bizarre to suggest deleting it.

    If anyone has responsibility there from outside, it's France.
    On your wider point, fixing other countries' problems hasn't gone too well for us in the recent past, so I'm not convinced there's a solution that could be imposed from the outside, but others may have a better idea of such possibilities.

    At what point does a people begin to take responsibility for the state of it's nation. You can't impose peace, social responsibility, law and order etc from outside, or can you?

    If you want attacking, you’d want Sibley, not Elder in the left position. 
    Mad seeing people leave out Barkhuizen. He’s one of the few we have who make runs off the ball!
    Frankly, I’d be trying to figure out some combination of NML, Barkhuizen and CBT as that’s the trio with the pace and athleticism to cause teams problems. Then just hope we have a striker other than Waghorn fit asap.

    Norman got a reaction from Kernow in Where do you think we'll finish this season?   
    Yup, I think Barnsley have 5 away games left. That's a big ask to go at 2.4 points a game average with that many away games. 
    Then Bolton have to play Peterborough, so one of those, or both if they draw, are going to have to go at well over 2 points a game average to get to 90 points. 
    4 wins should be enough.

    Norman reacted to Bris Vegas in Where do you think we'll finish this season?   
    It’s pretty much basic math given some of the other teams have to play each other.
    It’s hardly a jaw-dropping, know-it-all prediction. With only 7 games remaining the picture is pretty clear.
    None of the other teams below are averaging more than 2 points per game.
    Let’s be generous and give them better than that for the run in.
    Bolton to take 16 from 7 (2.3ppg)
    Posh and Barnsley to take 19 from 8 (2.375ppg)
    So Derby would need 4 wins, Pompey 3.
