    4th place cup run in

    10 games to go.
    6 at Home - expecting 4 wins v West Ham, Swansea, Sunderland & West Brom. Liverpool & Chelsea, god only knows.
    4 away - expecting 3 wins v Newcastle, Burnley, Hull. Man Utd, its there if we want it again.

    The above expected wins would put us on 75 points, normally more than enough for 4th.
    If we can pick up 5 points against Chelsea, Liverpool & Utd then we beat last years total.

    A big ask to win 8 of the last 10 with 2 draws but do-able.
    Would expect the 80 total to give us 2nd place as City will drop points.

    2nd place & retain the cup - I'd hate to admit it but Letter's could be right - its progress!!!

    Who cares about 4th place. We're going to win the league.

    Chelsea only drew today, so they're 7 points ahead with a game in hand. I'll say if we do finally beat a Mourinho's Chelsea at home, we're in with a chance, as long as we keep winning before and after. Just to state the obvious.

    We will need to win about 10 in a row like Liverpool did last season to even have a remote chance.

    2nd place is most certainly on though.

    *sigh*

    It's so difficult to know what to make of this season. Points-wise we're still behind where we were last year but are building a head of steam so could yet finish close, points wise, where we were last year. We made a balls up of the Monaco tie (could yet retrieve it, but I think it unlikely) but we are in the FA Cup semis again and really should get to the final.

    In brief:

    Oh, and I do think the two wins in Manchester are significant - especially last Monday.
    It's exactly the sort of game we traditionally cock up, it's the first time for years we've won a big game like that when it really mattered.
    Maybe it's a sign that we're getting over our mental blocks in games like that. If so and we continue to sign players like Ozil and Sanchez we could start to seriously challenge.

    What is important is if it is still mathematically possible to catch up with Chelsea . If that is doable , we still stand a chance whatever small there is .
    With the momentum and the confidence found lately , the second or third places are ours to lose .
    DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .
