The what we need to go 3rd this week thread v4.0

[Morph]

Easy one this week:

Liverpool to beat Charlton
Arsenal to lose/draw with Portsmouth

A Portsmouth beat arsenal we will be fine providing we score more goals than Pompey.

Don't think 3rd is likely this week, but hopefully we can consolidate 4th.

Excellent post, again!

no its easier than that...if we win we def go fourth, if arsenal portsmouth draw we go third

We win = 31 pts

Arsenal win = A 32 Us 31 P 28
Portsmouth win = P 31 Us 31 A29
A/P Draw = Us 31 A 30 P 29

Meant to say if Pompey win, we need to score more goals than them to go third. Brain mustn't have been engaged at the time of writing.

Wasn't this one of Shankly's sayings to Ian St John?

Charlton 0 - 3 Liverpool
Arsenal 2 - 2 Portsmouth

no I think it was Sir Bob to Rushie when he was trying to break into the first team

It will be "to remain 3rd" from now on!

Unless we get close, very close, to second!

I'm looking forward to the stage where we can't possibly lose 3rd place in one matchday

From there who knows...

hmm, I might do that next week see how it goes. But i'm hoping I get the chance to do it with regards to going second sometime soon.

At least we should be third by the half way point point in the league next Saturday. That'll be one of our more comfortable crimbo positions for a good few years I think.

Ok now that we're Third.

What do we need to get second?

'If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just pop it in the net and we'll discuss your options afterwards.'

Chelsea to tap up another player and their suspended point deduction sentence to come into effect?
