Since 1st December we have only played two teams (Bolton and Arsenal) who are higher than 10th in the Prem. We have one game left of our "easiest" run of games of the season. We have dropped 10points out of a possible 30 in that time. On paper the only game I can see Spurs losing is Chelsea away. But as you see from our dropped points it doesn't work like that, unless that was our own fault for dropping 1/3 of the points available to us!
But every single one of our away games is tough (United Chelsea Liverpool Blackburn Everton Bolton) and if we don't go out to win these games or continue to push on from going in the lead instead of sitting on one goal, we might drop more points than Spurs drop over the same period. Even games against Sunderland and Stoke at home will be tough for us, and the big one (the day after my birthday) against Spurs is bigger than last seasons game.
We have seriously got to take care of David Silva because if anything happened to him we'd be fucked. There's nobody to replace him, at all.
We are gonna have to play EXTREMELY well from now to the end of the season for us to get fourth. We are capable. We need Balotelli back asap! We need a good atmosphere (intimidating) at the CoMS (it's too nice and quiet too often). We need to keep the ball better, play quicker, more dangerously, more ruthlessly, take our chances when they come. As I say we can do it, but it's going not going to be easy AT ALL!
