Staying positive

I keep looking back to previous title wins and think, we can do this! But then it comes crashing down with awful performances but I'm sure I'll be back to "we can do this" with a victory over Villa and then dejected the following week etc etc.
 
There's not much optimism on here at the moment. I suggested we would finish Top 4 on the other thread with 71 points and you'd have thought I said that Rooney's hair was natural the way folks reacted.
 
Of course the prem is still on, but let's be realistic, us and arse are in shit form, spuds and Leicester are In good form, we need two clubs to take a dramatic u turn in form and ourselves to take a massive step towards form without any margin for error. It's hghly unlikely.

Staying very positive about top four and I think we could get closer than most think to winning it.
 
We've left ourselves a lot to do, with far too many utter dogshit performances against the other sides in the top 6.

However, that doesn't mean we can't turn the season around and go on a winning run. Let's look at the positives.

First, we've been here before, twice, and won it. We have the mentality to do that again, while neither Spurs nor Leicester have any experience of the pressure involved in a title run in.

Second, despite some results suggesting otherwise, we do have better players than any of the teams above us.

We have a run of relatively easier fixtures than the ones we've lost this season, with only Chelsea away looking like a certain defeat.

I think Leicester will bottle it and start to fall away, the West Brom result was the first sign of them cracking. Similarly, Spurs always have a few unexpected defeats up their sleeve, and I think that'll continue. Arsenal are the biggest threat, but as perennial bottlers, and riddled with injuries, they won't have enough to see it through.

The Liverpool result was predictable in that we never win there, exhausted ourselves emotionally winning the league cup, and faced a wounded Liverpool out for revenge - almost literally a second cup final for them. We won't have to deal with that again. Our run of wins will start with a resounding thrashing of Aston Villa this weekend, by at least 3 or 4 goals.

I think we'll only drop 7 more points all season, two draws plus a probable defeat at Chelsea. We'll win the rest.

I'll just be amazed if we manage back to back league wins for this first time since October.

This. It'd be nice to have back to back wins and we are more than capable of having a prolonged winning run. Which is exactly why it's been frustrating watching us

I like this guy he's refreshingly talking sense, I was pissed off after Wednesday however our record at Anfield since 2003 has left a lot to be desired.

I look at the fixture list now and see a lot of winnable games, Villa are gone and we can draw on the confidence of what we did to Norwich in the cup.

The derby is less predictable but that United defence falls to pieces when up against any half decent striker, I think Sergio is more than capable of dishing out a beating to them.

Chelsea game is a worry but I could see maybe a draw and god knows what type of Arsenal will turn up.

We won't win the league, we don't deserve to the way we have played since September but hopefully we should be fine to maintain our top four status. Hopefully the likes of Spurs and Leicester will finish top four with us, it's nice to see the status quo of the 3 wankers clubs that play in red under the cosh.
