Stat attack - is 4th viable?

jimbo2011 · January 31, 2013

On current point per game achieved...
http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/PR/ppgame.html

...we stand to achieve 64.8 points.

In the past 10 seasons, 65 points would've got us...

4th three times
5th four times
6th three times

Which tells us roughly **** all!!

We need miracles away to united, spurs, rs, arsenal and chelsea

As sbbefc says, the problem is we still have to visit ALL the big teams (plus Liverpool) except for Man City

That means we will be playing a lot of **** teams at home.

We just need to win the poorer sides instead of drawing, never mind the top ones.

Going to lay my (pessimistic) cards on the table and realistically say I think we will end up with around 60 + points and around 7th/8th.

Hopefully more if cheese string legs Mirallas keeps well and same goes for Gibbo. And Neville is nowhere near the first 11.

I can't see how anybody could come to the logical conclusion that we could finish 8th.

7 points clear of Swansea and West Brom, we'd have to totally collapse to finish below one of them.

Isn't there some sort of predictor kicking about?

Just checked the BBC and they've scrapped it today.

Tits.

I think the worst we'll do is 6th this year although I still think personally that we'll get 4th or 5th.

I'm trying to think who could possibly over take us.

Arsenal and the RS I can see. I don't think it'll happen, myself but I can see it. But who else?

Even if we only got to 60 points, that's 19 from our last 14 games (which is way below what we've done this season despite missing Gibson and Mirallas), then Swansea or West Brom would need to get 27 points from 14 matches.

Nah.

Well... we have to play United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelski, The RS (which we always fluff) away - City at home - not too optimistic about any of those - all the other games are imminently winnable but you know for a fact we will draw a couple. Ergo I reason around about there. Can see Arsenal improving second half of the season and the RS getting some scrawpy, dubious wins. Depends on how many points the others around us pick up.
