Next 5 League games...

Just had a quick look - I reckon we could go into December top of the league..... But in dec we have Spurs, Chelsea and Man City all away - the latter 2 in the space of 2 days (26th and 28th) - could all go tits up then but if we had some sort of lead then these games change in that we can sit back and hit em on the break

At least footy is exciting again lads!!!

If we pick us enough points beforehand, draws against those three will be very good results. obviously wins would be better.

Keep hearing Swansea will be a tough game, they've two already, can't be that good!

Have they already picked TV games for the remainder of 2013? I would of thought both those games will be TV fixtures and could end up being 26, 29 Dec

Agree. Lock thread.

One game at a time. No false expectations.

[Roboklopp]

Aye, seem to remember scores of these leading to about half the predicted points. We need to score more, cannot just rely on Studge.

[kingfunk]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What the **** are you doing? This thread needs to be obliterated. No more looking beyond the next game. We are going to lose the Swansea game now (thanks to you) never create a thread again!

[Darkon]

The amount of superstition and jinx-believers is unreal here

Swansea is the thoughest out of the lot, but to me it seems almost all games are going to be difficult this season. There is so much money in the PL now, that all teams seem to gather decent season-long squads.

Really hard to predict much right now.

Swansea and Southampton will be very tough games!

[G]

The old adage, one game at a time. Swansea will be a very tough game but so was Villa away. We can certainly win there.

[RichC]

I don't think there will be many pushovers this season at all but I don't think this will be much tougher than playing Villa away this season.

Just have to hope we have no injuries from these bloody international games

[Fredo]

All of those games are tough matches. And as was said, one game at a time please.

[Reece]

We're just people on the internet discussing how our upcoming fixtures may progress. It will have absolutely no bearing on how they actually result in real life.

You bunch of superstitious wallys

So no, I won't lock it

I worry about Southampton, I like how they are playing at the moment. But they are just not winning. They have some decent players though.

Swansea are a bit of an odd one. They have been totally **** since February. Not really arrested the slide since winning the League Cup. Clearly they have some good players, so they are another fear.

Under normal circumstances I'd reckon a win against Swansea, I think it suits us now to play against teams that try to play. But since it's highly doubtful that we can honestly win the first four league games, I'll go for a draw or loss.

We'll get maximum four points from the next two games. Southampton like to press teams high so that could be difficult but then again so did United and Villa.
