Come on then. Last one. 3 games left. It's not in our hands but 3 wins against 3 poor sides and it's fairly likely we'll end up in the top 4.
I guess we'll probably blunder our way there, we usually do.

Still no.
ve vill do it
Yes, but we won't achieve it ourselves, we'll have to rely on somebody else to luck us into 4th spot. Our own players don't have the character to secure it.
Table never lies. If we finish top 4 then over a season it's because we deserve to.Quote:

I think 3rd is maybe slipping away so 4th is most likely.
Still can't see it.
We'll get fucked by Newcastle for one. And I can see us dropping points in one of the other two games.
We'll get four points from the remaining three, and finish fifth.
3rd is gone now.
I've got a nasty feeling we're not going to do it. The only reason I have a slight hope is because our competition is Spurs and they are bigger bottlers than we are.
I think we'll get past QPR who are terrible. However, Wigan at home could be tricky and I think we'll drop points at Newcastle. So I'm not too confident about getting 4th tbh.
Win all three I reckon.
In fact I think the Newcastle game will prove to be academic.
We'll definitely need a result on the last day
:upset:
Nah, we'll end up needing the spuds to bottle it and they will.
our current record is 8 unbeaten; 6 wins, 2 draws.
to go 11 unbeaten with 9 wins is my worry, as its not a run many teams put together, so some dropped points are 'due'.
so inclusion we will get in the top four.
or we may not.
thankyou.
With what I have just predicted we'd draw the last game and still be ahead of the Spuds. Think they will lose against Chelsea and draw one of the others, most likely Stoke (a).
Inclusion?Quote:

Done it again for this and we are up to 3rd.
Just noticed I haven't got Chelsea winning any of their remaining matches :lol:
Villa to go down as well
I honestly don't know. I did the "BBC" Predictor and had us down to finish 4th, though we were level on points with the Spuds but had superior goal difference.
This was based on the assumption we would win the next 2 (Wigan & QPR) and draw at Newcastle.
Spuds win 3 of their remaining 4 but lose at Chelsea.
I had Chelsea down to remain unbeaten, draw at Villa and Man U, win the rest.
I dunno...one thing we can't afford to do is drop silly points, IMHO we need to win 2 of the remaining 3, ideally all 3. If I'm honest I think we have the potential to drop points at home to Wigan and away to Newcastle.
P.S. One thing that is clear and needs to be addressed is the lack of quality in our squad, the Spuds have absolutely caught up with us now, we have been going neck and neck with them for a few seasons now. No more excuses...we absolutely have to spend on "REAL" quality this summer.
See I disagree. I think their squad is pretty poor but they have Bale.Quote:

Anyway, I think this is the year that we miss out. No way will we win 3 games on the bounce especially without a striker.
we'll finish 3rd.
chelsea still play man utd and spurs.
spurs are spurs.
papers over another shambolic season though.
Yeah I agree their squad is pretty poor and the bit about Bale, one thing we can be certain of is if they do lose Bale they will spend every penny reinvesting it back in the team.Quote:

I'm kind of thinking we are going to miss out too, I was convinced a few weeks ago we were in the driving seat, now I'm not so sure.
I'll be honest...if the circumstances were different (I.E. Not jostling for top 4 with Spurs), I wouldn't be that bothered about missing out on top 4 after years of chronic under investment in the team and asset stripping but....I could not bear the Spuds finishing above us at the expense of top 4, it would be absolutely sickening.
Yes, we will.
Really though, for me it's all about about finishing above the swamp dwellers. And, as the chavs now look a bit of a shoe in for 3rd, we have to finish 4th to avert the unbearable happening.
If we are in the top 4 after the Chelsea v Tottenham match then we'll stay there. If not then we won't get it.
Not sure about 'shoe in', they've arguably got the hardest run in of all of usQuote:

Granted all of ours are potential banana skins, with both Wigan and Newcastle vying to stay in the league, but I can see Chelsea only getting 3 points from their remaining games, the spuds may well get max points, 6 points I reckon will see us over the line - need to have those points on the board before going to Newcastle on the final game if the relegation places haven't been sorted by then. The most important result for us is probably v Wigan as that might dictate the kind of game we have to face on the last day.
Agreed to an extent. But I think the chavs have enough pedigree to eventually nip 3rd.
I definitely fancy us holding down 3rd; I just don't want to be overly optimistic seeing how dodgy our run has been.
How are you managing to predict a 3rd place finish in this thread and a loss to QPR in that match thread?Quote:

We can, and we can win every game and not finish top 4.Quote:

Yeah, you predicted we'd lose to QPR and finish top 4. Not impossible but pretty unlikely.Quote:

the fact a few of us go in the match threads and post a loss every week, and that i openly joke about losing and being humiliated on international television channels shows one thing on your behalf, believe me.
have common sense, use half a brain cell, have good instincts.Quote:

:tiphat:
EDIT:
Checked 7 match threads before QPR. In two you predicted losses which were clearly jokes - ManYoo (2-8) and Reading (5-7). Those were clear references to previous bizarre results. In two others, Everton and West Brom, you predicted loses which looked genuine enough. In the other 3 (Fulham, Norwich, Swansea) I didn't see a prediction at all.
So yeah, there's no clear pattern of you making obvious jokey predictions. Nice to have chatted though :tiphat:
Internet arguments :lol:
Load of old shit.
Pretty much. :lol:Quote:

You bumbling idiot.
We'll see... <_<
Roffle.
so i didnt make a loss prediction at all bar the QPR game but i did for 4 out the last 7 games? :haha: :haha:Quote:
