Race for the top 4
Big win tonight of us. We still look very tentative, nervous and lacking in confidence at times.
Newcastle are absolutely flying again which doesn't bode well tbh. Absolutely stuffed west ham 5-1 I can't believe they've got us kicking off at 12:30 on saturday ffs. |

Newcastle very much a confidence team. Either can’t score or they’re banging in four and five. On a wave now and just need to keep pace with them. They’ll falter again. They’ve got three away games on the spin too. Brentford and Villa away next. They’ll have a job winning both of them.
Spurs v Brighton at the weekend. Newcastle still to play Spurs. Still lots of points to be dropped by everyone. Just got to get through this tough spell. Bodes well that we’re right in the middle of our worst run of the season and we’re still 3 points clear of 5th. Get our shit together once we get a functioning midfield and we’ll be fine. |

Brentford are a good side and tonight could easily have been worse for us, win against Everton and I will be cautiously optimistic again. |

Spurs have got Newcastle, Liverpool and us back to back, they are no threat to us and are a Kane injury away from mid-table. We win half our remaining games and we’ll get top 4, it’s done. We need to be smart about rotating for the cups, would be delicious to beat city at Wembley.

Not been much said of Brighton….
If they win on the weekend they’re bang in the mixer too, and we have to go there. I think we’ll be fine but could either make it very academic or a total slog. Didn’t fancy us tonight so delighted with the points and if we can put Everton away (another slog) Saturday then The Geordies have Brentford away afterwards. The fact we’ve just beaten Brentford might help us out there. |

It's not like they spent a shit load of money either. They're building the right way. Fair play. (The lap of honour after the win against us was a bit cringe, though). |

Brighton doing well, but don’t see them being seriously involved. They were a last minute penalty away from losing at home to Brentford at the weekend. As ever, it’s about how we do. Do the basics on Saturday like we did last night, get some much needed midfield quality back and we should be good. It’s encouraging that this our worst run of the season and we’re still 3 clear of 5th. |

About £59m more than we've spent - but when you look at Brighton in comparison I think we can see who is doing the best in regards to how to manage player sales etc right now... 20. Brighton – £69.16million (profit) 19. Manchester City – £42.84million (profit) 18. Leicester City – £30.58million (profit) 17. Everton – £9.05million (profit) 16. Leeds United – £37.7million 15. Brentford – £43.09million 14. Fulham – £43.86million 13. Crystal Palace – £47.79million 12. Aston Villa – £68.22million 11. Bournemouth – £81.09million 10. Liverpool – £88.04million 9. Wolves – £107.45million 8. Southampton – £121.93million 7. Arsenal – £151.88million 6. West Ham – £154.17million 5. Tottenham – £154.92million 4. Nottingham Forest – £163.17million 3. Manchester United – £198.66million 2. Newcastle – £254.8million 1. Chelsea – £482.64million We've spent £50m more than Arsenal to be 20 points behind them |
