Newcastle and Chelsea have harder games than us, but that means fuck all if we can’t win our games.

Chelsea will drop out. Worst fixture list and unlike Villa in the CL, I think Chelsea will go all the way in the conference league which adds quite a number of games left to their already difficult fixture list.

Newcastle have two games in hand, one against Leicester and the other at home to Palace. I thin they win both which puts them 4 points clear of us with same games played. That buys them a loss

It will be between us and Villa for the last spot I reckon.
 
Still think we'll benefit from having the easier run of games

Chelsea, Villa and Newcastle all have brutal games, and play each other

Forest not completely safe either, as they play Chelsea last game which would likely see one of them miss out potentially

Think we'll beat Palace, Everton, Southampton, Wolves and Bournemouth

If we can get a point at home to Villa and then Fulham away I think we'll just about scrape into the top 5
 
Only positive is the fixtures others have, that being said what confidence can we have in City. Don't fancy us at Everton, don't fancy us at Fulham. Palace will be iffy and the same with Villa. We are so lucky that Liverpool aside the rest have been largely inconsistent
 
beat Palace somehow wont be easy. they hit form they got 13 points in last 5 PL games also reached FA semis.
probably in their best form all season..

we have 5 days now to prepare for this game. not winning this is exactly what rivals want and can cost us lot more than the derby draw.

Newcastle imo will get extra motivation from other dropping points this weekend.

they now have Leicester away, rags home, Palace home with Palace being their game in hand so they now play 3x before we play our next game after Palace.
imo they will have a real go at the rags unlike us.

I can see Barcodes be on 59 points after round 32 while us on 55.

All our remaining games are brutal after watching that shit today
 
Fucked if I know but we aren't getting any better, that's for sure.

Shit against a woeful Leicester who didn't even try.

Today, fuck knows what that was but to not look better and be close to scoring (we weren't) against a shite Rags side is not good.

Our run to top 4 / 5 and a Cup win means beating in form Palace or Villa twice, Bournemouth, Everton away, Forest and some others considered easier games.

We might do it but equally we could finish 8th with Fuck all!

You honestly think we’ll take 15 points from the games against Palace, Everton, Southampton, Wolves and Bournemouth?

Think we’ll win our remaining home games, and I think that will be enough.

We don’t need to go in one if ‘those’ runs to finish fifth, given that’s exactly where we are right now.

We have Palace next at home they are no push overs, followed by Villa, Wolves and Bournemouth. I can not see us winning all four games.
 
After that insipid display today, we ain't finishing top 5.

We haven't got the bottle, desire or the nouse anymore.

We'll finish about 7th I reckon.

we need to start worry of Fulham too lol. while Brighton, Bournemouth showing signs they want to exit the CL fight, Fulham want to get in.
and last game of the season Fulham-City not an easy one.
Arse got a draw there earlier, Liverpool got beaten there today.

their next two aint easy but if they get 4 points in these or 6, they are in the fight big time:
Bournemouth away
Chelsea home

Why bookmark it? So you can say I told you so? Anyone with eyes can see the current squad is struggling.

The team is done but still we have a reasonable chance of top 5.

Not too bad all things considered.

Bookmark it for all the blind optimists who think we'll romp top 4!

Honestly don't know what they see in our games. The reality is we are very poor.

That's the brutal truth. There are teams below us that play a better brand of football.

Dress it up all u want. We are shit!
 
Better to finish 10th than 6th or 7th imo
Fuck Thursday nights. Would rather a year out to give a much changed squad time to regroup and refocus on the training pitch, than flying across time multiple zones to play Borat’s Village XI on former nuclear waste sites, for prize money that probably wouldn’t cover the air fare

Hundred percent agree; we need to focus on the premier league.
