The Race for the Top 4 2017

[Fredo]

I disagree about City winning being better. Both our nearest rivals dropping points is better than one of them being in a better position to get 3rd. Imo

Yep. I think 9 or 10 points out of the remaining 12 will be enough. It will be tight and will possibly be decided in the last game.

Great innit

[Norbs]

i cant see City dropping any more points this season.....

It does look easy on paper

It's Liverpool.

It will almost definitely be decided in the last game.

To be honest, the last two seasons we were not even in the neighbourhood of a good league finish.

I've been having a scan through the remaining fixtures and I think the really pivotal day will be May 14th.

It's the penultimate fixtures. We play West Ham right before they play Spurs. If we can win that they will be under huge pressure:



They've got the 2nd leg against Celta Vigo on the Thursday before so we could do with that tie being close after the first leg so they have to go full strength.

We could also do with Chelsea ****ing up a couple more times so that Spurs still have a sniff at the title for that match. That's unlikely though to be honest.

Exactly, if we want to be where the action is, then we need to be able to handle the pressure.

Thats for the team, and the supporters..!

After tanking towards the end of last season (finishing 3rd in a 2 horse race) I reckon Spurs will be determined to finish strongly.

That's a good point. I really hope so!

I guess either way they will always be up for proving a point against Man United.

As close as it looks now I still think by mid-May Man United will be showing signs of the number of games catching up with them. Injuries and red cards like last night are going to take their toll eventually IMO.

You've just described us too

[Angryred]

Am just delighted that we still have summat to fight for after that ****ty run back in Jan!

[loki]

Spurs v scum will be the last game ever at the Lane. Tottenham will put everything into winning that game.

[Daniel 7]

Or it will end up Jeremy Goss at the Kop

If only we hadn't had that ****ty run.

All Mane's fault.

[BobTheCharmer]

I can't see us winning at west ham and watford isn't going to be easy. The ****ing players need to turn up with their game heads on. 5 minutes in and you can tell which Liverpool has arrived.
