by the end of the next set of PL fixtures chances are we will be down to 8th or even 9th. I mean once we have next 6 PL games Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool, Spurs, Forest games out of the way until 8th of March.
not kidding, even rags will be lot closer to us than the current 12 points gap to them.
after that we need to overtake possibly 3-4 teams in last 10 games which is generally a lot easier set of fixtures with few banana skins like rags away but all home games to those that will be just around us on table like Villa, Brighton, Bournemouth who all beat us at their place.
