Who Thinks 3rd Place is Achievable?

[damon1978]

If the Rags beat Arse that means the most points they can get is 73. ( a draw and we would have to make up 11GD)

IF we won all our games, including spuds it gives us 74 pts.

3rd and a cup :) sounds like progress to me

Think we have the bottle to go on a 6 game winning streak?

Starts tonight......

They've got to go to Stoke away as well, which is far from easy.

We could as Arsenal are spent but I don't see us winning every remaining game.

No no! We can allow Arsenal to beat United as long as they lose one other game along the way. Then obviously if United also lose to Chelsea, CFC and MUFC will be level on points. Then two can scrap it out from there hopefully with Chelsea coming out on top.

But as for us, if we win our two games in hand on Arsenal we'll be 2 points behind them. Then Arsenal, after beating United, lose their next game, and we win the corresponding game, we'll be ahead of them by one point. Then all we need to do is match them in our last few games and we finsih third!

I've got it all planned out!


Haha, no! In all seriousness, I am literally taking it - with the old cliche - one game at a time. Let's just concentrate on Blackburn today. If we make plans beyond that and then we go and lose today it's all just a waste of predictions!

i would like to think we could, as i agree asrewipes are spent
but with 2 bogey teams to play spuds & neverton
its a tall order.
if we can bring the semi final performance to final 6 games there is a chance.
tonight will tell us a lot.

Rags and Villa Home, Stoke and Fulham Away.

2 Draws is enough really.

If they got 7 points from there last 4 games, means 71pts in total, means we need 15 from 18.

But do we want stoke building confidence on the way to wembley??

When we've finished getting all giddy over beating the rags in a one-off game, we should remember we haven't won two league games on the trot in 2011. I'm still worried about getting 4th, let alone 3rd.

Thats Stoke for them and Everton (away) for us.....

 

[Lancet Fluke]

If we hit a bit of decent form now then very possible. We wouldn't have to win every match as Arsenal look like they could drop points anywhere at the moment. In all probability though, 4th looks more realistic and I'd be more than happy with 4th tbh.

tonight is so important

we haven't hit it off away from home in 2011, some good performances but not the results
if we play well and win tonight we may see the team grow in stature
