Top Four Possibility

Excellent. They're niggling. And I don't like it.

They are just a series of 6 pointers we simply must win in order to improve on our 7th place.

We have the game vs WBA to give us breathing space, just in case, we have games versus the vermin and Utd which will be massive, massive games, we also have Spurs and Arse to come, plus a game versus the champions elect and lots of tough, tough games versus teams scrapping for their lives.

Season over?

LOL

Nope.
 
There is an inferior mentality amongst our players when it comes to playing against the top sides away from home and I don't see that changing this season with the side we have. We will hopefully finish in the top 7 and there is a slim chance that we will put up a challenge for 6th place. There is no way we will achieve a top 4 finish in my opinion.

Our record against the better sides away from home is a disgrace and has been for 25-30 years. Last win at Anfield was 1999, we have 1 win in 25 years at Old Trafford, last win at Arsenal was 1996, and we haven't won at White Hart Lane since 2008. Realistically the best we will get is 1 win from 4 in those games which is not the return of a top 4 side.
Don't know when the European fixtures are, but it would be nice to play arsenal, Spurs, United after their involvement in Europe, preferably an away leg! I don't ask for much do I?

Cheers fella. Unfortunately those dates aren't much help to our cause. Guess we'lol have to do it the hard way.
 
Only chance of Europe is hoping Utd win southampton and one of the top 6 win the FA Cup. We just need to hold off West Brom and 7th will be enough.
