Technically. But they really can't. You think if Di Matteo thought they had a chance he would start Turnbull?

I question that though. You have a chance to secure Champions League next season.
Newcastle have a hard game at Everton and Tottenham have a hard game with Fulham.
They should have at least tried.

Well they didn't. By far there best chance at getting in next year is beating Munich in one game.

Yeah, obviously, but i don't see what they're gaining from not trying against Liverpool. The Champions League is in a couple weeks and if you really want CL next year it would be smarter to try in both competitions that could get you into it.

Yeah you definitely have a point. Especially considering I have no idea who will be starting in at center back for us in Munich. Ivanovic and Terry are suspended and as of today Luiz and Cahill are still injured.

Well, you talked them up, and it was really the only club, that has a chance to make Champions, I found myself liking without feeling like a bandwagoning frontrunner.

I hope they don't disappoint you. We play good stuff the majority of the time though. Maybe you will be the good luck charm we need to make the top 4.

So, what are the scenarios for making Champions? A win at Everton and a Spurs loss?

We need to win and we can make it with:
- Spurs Draw or Loss
- Arsenal Loss

Yup. Final day of the EPL is always absolutely tremendous. Everton away is brutal, but anything can happen.

Would suck if Newcastle gets 4th and a diminished Chelsea team somehow beats Bayern.

You're telling me. That would be the equivalent of a swift kick to the balls. Actually, I would totally take the swift kick to the ball in exchange for Champions League.

Warrior =/= New Balance. Warrior gear is pretty reputable in the lacrosse and ice hockey world.
Kit looks nice too. Hopefully they'll be available in Hong Kong.

Cute. The most likely end to the season is a Spurs win and Gunners win, not to mention Newcastle has the toughest matchup by far.

Welcome Brent! You'll definitely have fun.
Those Liverpools are beautiful.
The chances aren't great Caddy, we know that, but we're obviously still hoping.
