Yeah one team is five points ahead (unless it’s a draw) and we’re two out of 5th with games to go. It’s not spinning anything though, that’s literally the situation.

And sure, those two teams could win those competitions, but I wouldn’t say it’s a foregone conclusion. We’ve obviously had a brutal season, and while that sucks for us, have a look at the shambles down the road. We’re up on them by 7 at this point despite what can only logically be considered an enormous underperformance on our end.
