Ok, so as it stands, if Totts is gonna make it to Europa league, we've got to catch Fulham, who are 2 points up. Their remaining games are away to Newcastle and home to Everton. Ours are home to Man City and away to Liverpool (yikes).
The way I see it, Tottenham will beat Man City, but lose to Liverpool. That's as realistic as I can get. In that scenario, we would need Fulham to drop points in both of their remaining games.
So to break this down, is there any situation in which I can enivision Fulham dropping enough points? Well, It is easy to see Fulham losing to Everton. Newcastle have been abysmal and I know you can't rely on them to get the job done... but maybe by some miracle Shearer captures the magic of Tyneside and holds them to a draw?
Overall, I don't think it's looking too good for Tottenham. We basically either have to beat Liverpool or hope Newcastle beats/draws Fulham. Pretty unlikely to happen, in my opinion.
Anyways, I wish you luck, Harry, in your chase for Europe... You're gonna need it!

Well now that week 37 has come to a close, with Tottenham and Fulham winning, the two teams remain 2 points apart. So for Tottenham to finish above Fulham they HAVE to beat Liverpool, AND have Fulham lose to Everton - even a tie won't do it, as Fulham are +5 on Tottenham with goal differential. Seeing Fulham lose to Everton is quite possible, but the former, as you've already said, is fairly unrealistic. I too hope they can manage to pull it off, but with a situation where both a win by Tottenham and a loss by Fulham is necessary for this result, its just not looking good for the Spurs...
