[Brennan]

P.S.

There is absolutely zero chance we'll finish 4th.

[Bryan]

I don't like Maths, but you're wrong mate.

Fed up of your pessimism and eternal negativity tbh Bren.

It's a joke really.

[ijjysmith]

When i did this we finished 7th.


Obviously.

[Lee Smith]

You think Chelsea will only get one point from their last 4 games????

[Dell Boy]

When i did this we finished 7th.


Obviously.

When I did it I honestly tried not to take the p*ss. Ive got us beating City okay but still losing against the ****e (obviously), Spurs and Arsenal.

I think Spurs are well set and flying but Chelsea and Arsenal have plenty of slip ups to come.

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Beating Chelsea away to deny them a CL spot & see us clinch it?

Ok mate, sounds realistic......

Ha!!

We defo wouldn't bottle that

[Dell Boy]

Yep. United and Fulham away are both games they could easily lose. A point against a Villa team fighting for that last relegation spot and then a last day bonanza against us. Moyes on his last match and Benitez with a police escort.

It's on.

[Dell Boy]

Ha!!

I figure just once a decade you know.

[malfosse]

My eternal optimism allows me to believe we will finish fourth, that is all, no score predictions, no planet alignments, just optimism.

I love the way you've actually thought of the scenario & convinced yourself of the validity of your overly enthusiastic predictions mate

[Brennan]

So Chelsea are going to get 12 points from 10 games, while we're going to get 21 despite having harder fixtures ?

Crack.

Bold final result there, going against form so to speak! Not a lot of draws there either... highlighted the predictions I find more.... 'interesting'... Can see Chelesa and Arsenal both getting several more points, and us several less tbh. Arsenal have a pretty esay run in compared to the rest tho, only two 'big' teams.

[Pabbers]

Also, IF we get to Semi / Final, Moyes WILL need to rest players.

We play the ****e at Anfield 6 Days before a potentiall Cup final.

As much as I dont like resting players, Baines, Fellaini and Mirallas will NEED to swerve that game.

They will love nothing more than putting our stars out.

[Dell Boy]

So Chelsea are going to get 12 points from 10 games, while we're going to get 21 despite having harder fixtures ?

Yes.

Dont underestimate the Benitez crap at Chelsea and Jelly will start slotting for us like a champion thoroughbred on acid.

[tasslehoff]

I wish it were true but I think 7th is where we will finish this year

As for the cup? Good draw and some luck, who knows

[evilwebby]

If we take 6 points from Arsenal & Spurs then I would agree that it's back on.

It's a big ask. TBH I don't think we'll do it. Let's face it, our record in these sort of do-or-die matches that really can move us on to the next level is very poor.

Realistically I think we're going to finish 8-10 points behind the 4th place finisher.
