The Race for Champions League Places

This thread's a bit pointless really. When we win, we're nailed on for 3rd, let alone 4th. When we dont, we're doing well to get 6th.

What a load of nonsense.

[destinydude]

With the way we are playing or at least our strikers are playing, we won't be finishing inside 4th.

I'd like to be proven wrong though.

Disagree. Rather we have a running thread then a load of threads after every game. You've made a few over the years. 'Our next 6 games etc'

[Craig_H]

"Our next 6 games" threads dont continue to have pointless ****e added to them for the next 6 months.

[Baracus]

Well don't add your pointless ****e

'Our next 6 games' constantly pop up every time we win one or two games in a row.

[Craig_H]

Funny cos i dont see it on the first few pages....

[Mostar]

Well we are 5 points behind Chelsea which is 4th and 8 behind Spurs and they still have a game to play.

Doesn't look good at all...

[Craig_H]

5 points off chelsea doesnt worry me, they've got City next week and some other hard games coming up, plus they are hardly reliable.

It's more that we struggle to string 3 wins together, that worries me.

We need a poacher in January. We can cope without Lucas and Gerrard as we keep creating chances, but need to stick them in the net.

Our real competitors Spurs and Gooners raised their game and lot of things need to click for us to catch up and surpass them.

Need to buy a top notch striker and a very good DM/Box-to-box mid as without those pieces imo we will qualify for CL this year again.

[Craig_H]

Arsenal are just in form, it's not a true reflection of their natural ability. Wont last IMO.

[Rabiosa]

Looking at the table and next few fixtures makes me slightly more confident, still think we have a chance, if Suarez gets banned for racism/swearing, then we have no chance though. we need to bring a couple in during January though. Arsenal/Chelsea got a tough next 5 games

[Nick77]

1st & 2nd looks nailed on to be the Manc clubs although once again United's form doesn't deserve even 2nd spot imo but as usual they will continue to play ****e but pick up points. So 3rd & 4th is between Chavski, Spurs, Arsenal & us. The way the Chavs are playing it looks as though will be fighting it out with Spurs & Arsenal but I think Spurs will be the ones that might run out of steam, not Arsenal. So hopefully if we can just start picking up points instead of giving them away, we can pip Spurs & Chavski to 4th.
So my prediction is:
1.) City
2.) Dogs
3.) Arsenal
4.) LFC or Chavs or Spurs

[Craig_H]

Arsenal always collapse around March/April time, it's as annual as Easter.

Only difference is, they usually do it when they're in the title race, this year they arent in the title race.

[Roboklopp]

Aye, let's hope the pressure to get 4th ****s them up even more than to get 1st.
