Fourth Place?

I would take 10-15th if we won the cup, that should be our main priority

You do realise that finishing 15th as opposed to 8th (where we should be) would lose us about £6m, right ?

We can't afford to lose that much money. The Cup is important but we would forget about the league at our peril as far as transfers are concerned.

4th????????????? You're 'avin a laff!. There's an old saying that springs to mind here, "one swallow does not make a summer"

Don't forget we have to play some teams below us and we're always crap against them.

I disagree. Once upon a time I went on a Club 18-30 holiday and trust me, one swallow did make my entire summer.

4th is outta the Q unfortunately, top 7 or 8 for me

It's quite funny though ( or not) but...

Were only a qpr and Bolton home wins and keeping 11 men on the field in the derby away from have being right in the mix for fourth!

 

[Christiffa25]

I also think if we could of kept Landon, got our injured players back and stayed relatively injury free we could of still made a good late charge at 4th.

Don't think we would of done it but could of had a damm good shot!

A couple of seasons ago when we beat Man United at home all the pundits after the game were saying 'and they will make a late surge for 4th' and that was a lot later on in the season with a similar points gap between us and fourth. Mathematically it is very possible but like that season we then proceeded to draw many of the 'easier' games we should've won.

 

[thebluefox]

we will fin 8th

 

[Dom1878]

I reckon 6th is the best we can do

 

[Summerskin]

We're currently 11th.

I really would rate Moyes if he pulled this one off.

 

[ijjysmith]

Christ knows where we will finish.

Too soon, Pat's Van.

We'll be in 12th before this afternoon ends. We've been bumping about in the 14th to 10th zone for a long time this season and I seriously doubt the consistency is here to pull off an 8th place finish....which would have been shit anyway. I'd say we'll finish 9th.

Appalling.

 

[Christiffa25]

Is 9th appalling davek??

Man city, man utd, spurs, arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool should all finish above us. That leaves us I'd say looking at 7th before loosing the players we have over the last 12 months.

Newcastle, Sunderland, Stoke and the likes all out spent us in the summer. Newcastle have done very well, having brought in some very good players and performing above themselves all season. That puts us to 8th.

With are level of investment and ageing players and lost players... Well u need to get realistic mate!
