I can see Liverpool and one of the Manchester clubs allowing us to crash the party.
I think this season will require a very high points finish to get into the top four. Last season's point total, which got us a flukey second place, won't cut it. I think we have to win 6/7 (or perhaps all 7) to have even a chance. To catch Liverpool, the most likely to drop out, we need to win our 3 games in hand with a +5 goal difference just to draw level. Finishing ahead of Liverpool is still in our own hands but will still be a tough ask. Then, on top of that, we'll need either Utd or City to drop points.
If Wenger gets us top 4 and the FA Cup, I will get down my knees and pleasure him however he wants.
True, but there's the Manchester derby where at least one is guaranteed to drop points, and I wouldn't put it past Crystal Palace to get a cheeky result at the Etihad.
If we win 5/7 of our remaining games—one being United—and draw 1, we'll get top 4. 73 (with GD) should be enough imo. I don't see it like 2013-14 where we got 4th with 79 points.
