The race for the Top 4 - RUNNERS UP, a game to spare

Re: Renewed hope to win the title or not?

The rags win today has for me confirmed our top 4 place. Now a matter of which place that is.

We will win 3 of our remaining home games no problem. Soton being the only one I hold reservations about as if we in confirmed 2nd or 3rd and they need a result for europe could prove difficult.

As for away games we will win 2, who i do not know. Hope Utd one.

Hey I hope so even if there's a small chance. Chelsea looked very shaky at times but they can pull off those shitty wins.

But games that will really come back to bite us are

Stoke
Hull
QPR
Burnley both legs
Arsenal both legs

Games that we could have edged or drawn.

We've chucked points away that until kick off in those matches were near enough nailed on points. We've had two miracles to win titles and I can't see a third. We're it MANUre or the Dippers leading the way, there's a chance, but not with CFC. They grind out points, they win ugly and they effectively have a NINE point lead! Too much.

Top 3 is the goal.

Even though I hate them twats winning, it probably helped our top 4 hopes. I think an Arsenal win against the scousers next week and that will be in the bag if we win at Palace.

I think we will finish 2nd or 3rd.

I think we will probably get second. Arsenal's form is due to take a turn. We have also gotten most of our difficult fixtures out of the way.

Southampton aren't as good as they were as earlier in the season. We're never guaranteed anything, but I don't think they should be particularly troublesome
 
Re: The race for the Top 4

Slightly uneasy about Palace away. Seem to be in good vein of form. We need a top 3 spot. Right now I wouldn't trust us to qualify for the CL via a 4th spot playoff.

We probably will get a top 3 place but the fact we are talking about it sums up the season so far.

Okay; ignoring GD, we can get to 85 (the most any of the chasing pack can get) points if we win all our remaining games (which we won't). That means Chelsea need 19 more points to be uncatchable. From 9 games. 18 points will more than likely be enough for them if you do take GD into account. So they can afford 3 defeats. We will probably need them to lose at least 4 of their remaining 9 games; they've only lost 2 out of their first 29. It's gone; stop torturing yourselves.

Who's torturing themselves ? I pretty well gave up on when we couldn't beat Hull at home.

However if Chelsea lose 3 (or 4 - however unlikely), and we win them all (also unlikely), then I'd guess our GD will be well ahead of theirs, we're only 2 behind, and in our last 3 home games have added 10 without reply.

Keep on hoping.
