Newcastle's game in hand following this weekend is at home to Palace. Villa don't have a game a hand - right now they've played a game more than everyone else as a consequence of their home game against Liverpool being played a few weeks ago instead of this weekend.

I'm worried!

Some of the players don't seem like they want it.. body language seems many are disinterested.

If Gundo looks more pissed off than the entire team.. something is seriously wrong with most of them.
 
cant see more than a draw in the City-Bournemouth, City-Villa games now.

we are at a stage where need most of rivals to start dropping points in games where they are expected to win. like Bournemouth-Brentford later today. and make sure they lose points where they are expected to do so like Chelsea tmorrow away to Arse.
 
We will just about scrape it because our fixtures are not the worst and the rest are just as inconsistent.

If it was just the top 4 we would really struggle.

We can afford to lose 3 and win 6 and still get 66 points which will be enough in my opinion.

We were a shambles against BHA.
 
Can't se us making top 5 , Newcastle have a great run until the last 4 games and lets be honest they are better coached than us this year , I suspect Brighton , Bournemouth and Villa will also finish above us this year.

Its not the end of the world , we are more than capable of challenging again after a few good windows.

We have made some basic mistakes in recruitment and any manager would struggle to get 60 points from this squad as it stands now.

Everyone keeps saying our list of fixtures isn't so bad.

Have you seen our team?? The list of fixtures might not be hard for a top team but we're really bad.

And we've shot ourselves in the foot with 16 points dropped from winning positions this season.
 
does anyone think we go to old toilet and get 3 points? or beating Villa, Bournemouth at home? can see all these will be a draw.
that means 51p and 6 other games. we would need 15-16 points of that 18 points vs the lesser sides like 5 wins, 1 draw or 5 wins, 1 loss.

either way what is clear we need rivals start dropping points or more like continue as they are not very consistent apart from Forest who looks to be able step away from the rest.

also next game Leicester away absolute must win. honestly with them losing almost all their games if we go there and fail to beat Nistelrooys side thats a new low in this season. having said that can see 46 yo Vardy making fun of our defence.
 
I think we’d have to turn things around in a big way to get into that top 5 and have some luck with forest and Chelsea dropping points…

I think realistically we’ll finish somewhere between 5 and 8 ….on the basis that there are more than 5 teams better than us for most of this season.
 
Just checked; I think we can all agree that the rags have been shite this season, yeah? Well; since New Year's Day, we've won 4 more points in the PL than them. It doesn't inspire confidence that we'll get the job done.
 
People moaning but we held Brighton today and were winning at half time. Don’t understand the negativity? People need to understand where the team is and that was a great result.

I think it's fair to say, we should all be prepared for a season without CL

We've had 14 consecutive seasons in the CL (I think no other English side has been ever present in the competition in that period). This could (repeat; could, not will) be the season when that run comes to an end. Certainly, if our inconsistent form continues.
 
The only hope we have for me is that other teams remain as crap as we are and we sneak in. That’s two weeks where we have had a full week to prepare and then churned out those two performances. We really are very average currently and I can’t see what is going to change that.
