26 more points needed. That's 8 wins and 2 draws or 7 wins and 5 draws from our remaining 13 games.

Win
Palace (H)
West Ham (H)
Newcastle (A)
Cardiff (H)
Swansea (H)
Fulham (A)
City (H)

Draw
Arsenal (H)
Sunderland (A)
United (H)
Southampton (A)
Hull (A)

Lose
Chelsea (A)

It's doable but I still don't think it's going to be enough for a top four place.

I like how you've got City at home as a win!!

If these things were easy to predict then we would all be rich off accumalators.

Let's just take each game as it comes

 

[SteKelly]

we aren't getting 4th mate. Get that in your head quicktime please. We blew our chance when RM didn't want to buy anyone

 

[PaddyG]

I reckon if we started inswinging our corners we might have a chance.

Has anyone else noticed this?

We'd have a chance bloody scoring. Its obviously a tactic to stop the other team doing something. After we went 2-1 up vs Villa we started to do in swingers

Billycopper, what are you doing??

Billycopper... STAHP.

Highly doubt we'll finish fourth no matter how many times we try and predict the future results.

FA cup however......

If we avoid the top 4 then we will win it. Simple as that. Knowing our luck Liverpool will play us in the final and destroy us because we will play a high line vs fast strikers.

Just admitted to some of those lot in work before that i believe that they will finish above us in the league this year.

There was a little sense of dread of the thought of United winning the champs league and knocking them out of it! But then again they also think that they have a chance of catching arsenal.

My point is 4th was realistic up until we lost yesterday. We win yesterday and we would still only be 2 points behind them lot, now we have to make a game up to get back there, 2 to overtake them.

For anyone to finish 4th this year i have always said they need to win 10 of the remaining games to do it. Them lot and Spurs have started at one, so it is up to us to match them now.

Would make no sense whatsoever though and I really doubt that Martinez is daft enough to not realise that outswinging corners make you a lot more likely to end up with the other team countering you.

[BoysInBlue]

I think I'd rather beat United than draw with them to be honest.

 

[royalbalou]

We are capable of beating every one of the teams left to play this season..last year I wouldn't have said that

See how it pans out, nobody predicted the win at United..or the loss v mackems

The only nailed on result was v satan's lot..and we've played them twice so they don't figure


Still enjoying the ride here

...I reckon the accumulator would pay at least 2000-1 in the bookies, that's how silly these prediction threads are if broken down game by game. Enough to say 71 points is the target and likely we'll need 7 or 8 wins to get there.
