The battle for 4th place

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

From working out how many points we both will get from our remaining games I had us gaining an optimistic 14 and them doing the same so if that happened yeah however I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't. We are in the Europa from the league cup so there is no escaping it even with a major slide

For me the biggest issue is that West Ham, Arsenal and the rags have 5 home games each and 3 away and we have 3 home games and 5 away.

That for me makes West Ham Arsenal and the rags favourites for the last 2 places regardless of who they are playing.

The only light is that West Ham have to play both of them.

We could quite easily finish 7th or 8th the way we are playing.

De Bruyne and Nasri coming back is my only hope because Pellegrini gives me no hope.

It's being reported that Sterling may now miss the rest of the season. Perhaps that is no bad thing in itself but once again as one player is set to return, one or two others drop out for further lengthy periods. The story of our season, or Pellegrini's entire reign, continues...

Absolutely no chance in hell of getting 4th.
The players downed tools and stopped playing weeks ago, this combined with recurrent injuries and a rubbish medical team make it almost impossible for this team to beat anyone at the moment.
Theirs at least another 3-4 losses in the fixtures we have left, the season is over.

Fuck it then lets all just give up... nice one thumbs up matt

As well as the new injuries we also now have Aguero/Otta and Zab in Argentina a few days befor the next game. Toure in the Sudan and Fernandinho in Paraguay. Just what we need the moment.

Toure has not travelled and is having treatment on his heel.

Honestly think your deluded if you think that shower of shite will get top 4. Yes it has gone.

(With my tin foil conspiracy hat on) Perhaps the club believe it would be best to not be in the Chumps League next season, for one season only.

Why?.......

To allow Pep time to rebuild the team in his image, so that when we get eventually back into the Chumps League we'll be much stronger and capable of winning the damn thing under him.
