    now, you're bending my words. i've been very clear in what i said. we need a big winning streak because they will rack up more points and we need to stay ahead. it's the third time i've written that. fair enough we disagree, that happens but don't rewrite it.

    Disgusting how Evertons chances of finishing 4th are treated on here

    I so don't care where Spufs finish, so long as we get the triple I'll be happy

    Hope so then we can make cheeky bids for Baines and Fellaini

    What are you basing that on? We're 26 games in, we've had slightly harder games and they're a whopping 4 points ahead of us.
    We've not had a big winning streak yet but clearly they haven't either or they'd be miles ahead. Why do we suddenly need a big winning streak now to overhaul them given their harder run-in?
    I find it hard to call as to most Arsenal and Spurs fans I've spoken to but we certainly don't need Spurs to collapse, neither do we need to suddenly win 5 games in a row. If both teams keep bumbling along as they have been then it'll be close with a few results here and there deciding it. The WHL game is key IMO. Lose that and I can't see us finishing 4th. Get a draw and with Spurs harder run-in we've got a chance.

    look back at my previous points and you'll see, or shall i repeat it again for you?

    70 points usually for fourth. we need about nine wins from 12 games. where this sudden boost of confidence in our ability to do that without putting in our usual lazy performances is beyond me.

    If in the next 12 we do what we have in the previous 12, we'd be on 68 I think. If we're seeing the same things from us season in season out then it stands to reason we will be very close to what points we normally end up with.

    Think it's time we saw a Next 6 games thread but also put Chelsea's, Spuds and Evertons fixtures and do a Hogan and predict them

    well that's exactly why i think we won't do it because we are gradually decreasing in what we can achieve. no world class striker to pull it out the bag when we really need a win or even a point and at some point we crash, as we did last season but when we had a cushion to do so. if spurs performed as they did in their last eleven, that would leave them over 70 i think.

    we finished a single point above them last year when that gap should've been a lot bigger and bar having th14 and co, we have never gone on a run that lasts right to the end of the season to do what we need to do now.
