Botching our easy games may cost us

Just looking at our fixture list and its quite a difficult runin, whilst some of the other teams have a relatively easy run in. I cannot help but feel guttered for the run of 7 draws where by we dropped points against Fulham, Burnley, Hull... it just means that we are under immence pressure to get maximum points against teams where a point would usually be considered a good result.

I'll get behind our lads as I know how difficult the task at hand is, starting against Fulham this weekend who will be on cloud 9!

Anyway, fingers crossed we get a few lucky breaks!

Spurs fans will no doubt be ruing their failure to pick up even a single point against Wolves, only getting a point at home vs Hull and going down at home to Stoke.

This^^^^^^ All teams can point to games against teams they should have beat, Hull and Stoke cost the dippers the title last season!

Wouldn't the dippers have won the title if they had beaten us at thier place?
 
If dropping points costs us fourth then so be it.

The point's we HAVE earnt have shown we have progressed and we will come back even stronger next year.

Let's not build up an anxiety because we are scared of failure. Let's BELIEVE if we don't do it this season, it WILL come eventually.

Bang on! I dont really care too much for the Champs Lg just yet, i dont think we as a team or a club are ready for it yet! and i also think us as a set of fans are not ready for it yet as we're not selling out every game and i think we've got an appaling home+away atmosphere and a poor attitude towards our own managers/players and other clubs and their fans (i mean this horrible Rag-like arrogance that has crept into our outlook! i hate it!) and we dont deserve it yet! it doesnt worry me that Liverpool may get it and that they will be better next season or anything else! Because within the next 4/5 years Gerrard will be retiring (he's like an old man already!) and Torres may have moved on or will be older and less effective. and i can see Liverpool taking a massive dip and remain a Europa Lg club from the next 5 years and having a better season next season wont change that!

We will be a top club eventually! if that takes 5, 10, 15 years i wont be bothered; im just happy that it will happen and i dont have to worry about the shit we've had to worry about in the past! Things do not happen over night, and how people think they will is beyond me! Patience is a virtue and is something we seem to be lacking!
 
The fact that we have only lost 4 games speaks volumes and although 4th place is going to be tight I genuinely feel that next year we could go for the title by turning some of them draws into wins and keeping it tight again!

Considering the upheavel we have had this season it is amazing that we are still in the race for 4th at all!!

Robinho, Tevez, Bridge, Adebayour, Hughes affairs together with our injury problems we've done well!!
 
Any team could look back over their results so far and find games where they dropped points they shouldn't have. The fact we had so many draws in succession makes them stand out a bit, but every team has suffered upsets this season, including the top three.

We are where we are and the important thing is to not worry about things past, but concentrate on not throwing any more points away between now and the end of the season.
