I've long said, when it comes to 'rotation' and resting players, that when you're in the final run-in, even tired players should still perform as when the finish line is in sight, adrenalin should take over and just carry you through.

We have Fulham away before the 1st CL game and Blackburn at home before the 2nd. Should be do-able.

The ****ers can rest on May 28th after the CL final.

yeah i agree with you, think i have us down for 8 wins too, which we should be aiming for. only thing is the arsenal are getting back to form and with the champions league hotting up, hopefully rafa does not prioratise it too much

02 Mar, 2008 Bolton Wanderers Barclays Premier League A 13:30 3-1
05 Mar, 2008 West Ham United Barclays Premier League H 20:00 4-0
08 Mar, 2008 Newcastle United Barclays Premier League H 15:00 3-0

11 May, 2008 Tottenham Hotspur Barclays Premier League A 15:00 2-0

Reverse the United score like this year and we have 11 from 13. Even still, 32 from 39 isn't bad.


2006

29 Apr, 2006 Aston Villa Barclays Premiership H 15:00 3-1
07 May, 2006 Portsmouth Barclays Premiership A 15:00 3-1

11 if you include FA Cup.

Have faith, we're a much better team this year.

I had arsenal taking points off both us and the mancs, which I think is certainly possible. Looking like it just might come down to the last match, Spurs. That would be twitchy bum time.

[Shaggy]

It's exciting isn't it

[meffin]

1 Pool 86
2 Mancs 86
3 Chavs 78

we win on GD

[Kenneth]

It's exciting isn't it

It sure is. It's far too early to feel this excited though, don't think I can keep this up until the 24th May and still function as a normal human being.

[RoadEnd]

I've got Man U back in 5th place - can't see them winning another game.

I've got Man U back in 5th place - can't see them winning another game.

And West Brom in 17th?

[Vermilion]

[MrsB]

Heh, this one comes close to my table (which I haven't done yet).

[RoadEnd]

And West Brom in 17th?

16th actually - as their GD was vastly improved with the 8-1 win over Sunderland and the 6-0 win at Wigan

[Vermilion]

Heh, this one comes close to my table (which I haven't done yet).

As you can see, i anticipated that our goal scoring and defensive exploits will continue.

[BigChief]

I only did top two, and it ended:

Liverpool 84
Manure 81

I wasnt saying we couldnt do it - we can and we've done it before under Rafa as you say. But better team or not, 11 on the bounce is still a huge task, whoever you are.
