Liverpool will get fourth.

I could see scouser winning the rest of theirs except Chelsea. That would have them on 69 points but doesn't leave a lot of room for cockups. Likewise with Villa who I have finishing on 72.

Spurs will need to do well against the top 3 to finish close, I've got them finishing with 66 points. I've been pessimistic with us - 3 points from next two games, lose to rags and arsenal and draw with villa and spurs. Finished on 67 but a lot of room for improvement.
 
Scousers winning every game except Chelsea?i actually think they'll beat Chelsea and lose to the likes of Brum away.I also think we'll get at least a draw against the rags and Arsenal.

Sunderland, Fulham, West Ham and Chelsea at home. Birmingham, Burnley and Hull away. Not the hardest draw by any means and while they might cock one or more of those easier games up I'd have them as favourites in all of them except Chelsea.

We're capable of doing better than I predicted, just my pessimism
coming out.

bear in mind moomba that the dippers have the Europa to deal with, 2 tough games against Benfica followed by probably 2 even tougher games against Valencia - they have to attempt to win it and these games will ensure they drop a bollock or 2 in the league.
 
It's all down to us. Doesn't matter what the other teams do. They will drop points anyway but if we win the games we have the players capable of winning then we will come fourth.
 
I have us in 4th on 69 with:

4 wins: WIGAN, Burnley, BIRMINGHAM and West Ham
4 draws: EVERTON, UNITED, VILLA and SPURS
1 loss: Arsenal

Tottenham in 5th on 68 with:

3 wins: PORTSMOUTH, BOLTON and Burnley
4 draws: Sunderland, ARSENAL, CHELSEA and City
1 loss: United

Liverpool in 6th on 68 with:

5 wins: SUNDERLAND, FULHAM, WEST HAM, Burnley and Hull
2 draws: Birmingham and CHELSEA

Villa in 7th on 68 with:

5 wins: SUNDERLAND, Portsmouth, Hull, BIRMINGHAM and BLACKBURN
3 draws: Bolton, EVERTON and City
1 loss: Chelsea

Home fixtures are in capitals.


Having said this I am resigned to us conceding a 95th minute equaliser (own goal, obviously) at West Ham, who have come back from 3-0 down at half time with the help of two extremely dubious penalties.

We then finish 7th and my blood pressure finally becomes too much for me.
 
Ii think its down to a two horse race already.

I think Liverpool have pretty much blown it.
Spurs have a killer trio of matches coming up and I dont think they'll win any of them(united/Arsenal/Chelsea). If we beat spurs at home they'll be out of the race.

Between us and Villa IMO.

Tin hat time :O)
 
I think next five games will be crucial and should be the make or break part of the season.

Spuds: PORTSMOUTH, sunderland, ARSENAL, CHELSEA, man utd

Villa: SUNDERLAND, chelsea, bolton, EVERTON, portsmouth

Liverpool: SUNDERLAND, birmingham, FULHAM, WEST HAM, burnley

City: EVERTON, WIGAN, burnley, BIRMINGHAM, UTD

Although Liverpool look like they have a reasonable next five games it is against the background of competing in europe and playing thursday/sunday. Our next five games, all winnable include four at home, win these and it should make the home games against Villa and Spurs as less of a must, even taking a point in each would do. Its ours to lose is my take on it.
 
at present its still 4 teams that can come 4th with the outsider being liverpool, a lot off people are going on about tottenhams fixtures in april against the big 3 at home,i can safely say that no arsenal or chelsea fan are 100% confident of getting a result at tottenham,the crowd will put pressure on both of those sides & the ref,as a spurs fan im more worried about playing sides that we are expected to get a result in,i thought both city & spurs had absolutely massive wins at the weekend when i sort off expected aston villa to have a good weekend,its all to play for with spurs in pole position until weds night if you beat a very decent & inform everton side who will have visions off sneaking into 6th/7th place themselves

Everton have done well recently especially at home but away from home they're not great and certainly nothing to fear. They find if difficult to win away from home so we should be good enough to get at least a point but a win would put us in pole position especially with the 3 games we have to follow

i agree i see it very similarly too
at the end of these next 5 games we will have a clear picture
i can see us drawing with everton and scum and winning the others giving 11 more points with spuds gaining 8 points, leaving us a point clear with a game in hand
 
Anybody above 9th place will still fancy their chances of doing it , and certainly Everton will if they win here on Wednesday ......

we've just got to concentrate on winning games , and not worry about the others.
