Is 4th still possible

[Ted]

Yes. I think we'll finish fourth.

Since Kenny came in we have got 9 more points than City and 7 more than Spurs.

 

There are 8 games left and we play both at home, of course its possible.

 

I`m actually pretty certain that if we dont already have overtaken Spurs we will do that when we play them at home in our last home game of the season.

 

City are possible as well, but I think having Adam Johnson back will help them improve so it will be difficult, but no way impossible.

[NavyRedMan]

Not possible unfortunately, however we should use the rest of the season as a warm up for the next, confidence breeds success and if we finish strong we will start off better next season.

Not possible unfortunately.

 

This is true, apart from it being possible.

[Red Banjo]

Imagine what 3 points against West Ham would have done to us in this predicament.

 

Too late for me tho, or is it? Hmmmmm.

 

Thank god City have Mancini, thats all i can say.

Slightly off topic. What happens with the Europa league places if spurs were to finish fifth but win the champions league?

 

Back on topic. I think we've left ourselves with just too much to do. Especially looking at citys fixtures.

[corro]

City and spurs will drop loads of points but will we? If not 4th is ours.

[Harry Squatter]

Would be funny if City implode but I think that they have enough to beat some of the shite teams, pity Arsenal are soo far ahead as they have bottled it.

[a stoner]

Mathmatically yes in reality no.

8 points behind with 8 to play. Too much to make up in my opinion and I'm normally really pessimistic about our chances.

Spuds go into the CL at the expense of those in 4th spot.

Lets say Arsenal beat Tottenham in their game in hand, which is not unlikely. If we beat City, while Spurs wins that round. In the round we beat Spurs we assume that City takes three points. That would make the following standing pool 51, Spurs 52 and City 56. With 6 games to play, that is not unlikely. We will finish above psurs for sure, as they have several hard matches left. City have a a few potential upsets on their hand as they play some of the relegationbattling sides. This is not likely, but definitely not impossible. The problem is if e beat the likes of WBA without Agger, Suarez and Gerrard...

They have to go through Real Madrid and Barcelona to get to the final. I don't really think we have to worry about that.

The two toughest games could very well be our next and our last.

 

West Brom fighting relegation and Woy trying to embarass us. And ironically enough, another former boss Houllier perhaps trying to avoid the drop on the last day.

 

Arsenal look like bottling every game at the moment, so we could easily nick it at their place.

 

City and Spurs at home, no problem.

 

So, hopes could all evaporate as early as The Hawthorns, but for the moment... fuck it, why not?

Im wary of writing Spurs off to be honest. I remember around this time last year thinking we'd overtake them easy given the fixtures they had left, but then they beat the Scum, Arsenal(?), Chelsea(?) and City and ended up taking fourth. I'm going by memory here regarding their exact opponents but I just remember them having a tough bunch of fixtures and sailing through the lot of them.

 

I know they have the CL distraction this year, but they seem a more resilient bunch of twats than they were back in the days they shit their pants (literally) when 4th was up for grabs.

[El Rojo]

I think it's a few bridges too far, but what a tribute to the effects of Kenny's return that we're even considering it right now.

 

If the correct choice had been made last summer we'd be in second or third place now and several million pounds better off.

I'm pretty sure that Spurs haven't won a single damn game following a CL week.

It's a huge ask but it's definitely possible. We'll need to keep our best players fit though. If we do then I think we will win the majority of our games. We will have to beat Spurs and City as well of course. I'd be very surprised if we did it, but we should definitely be aiming for it.

[Guest TesticleOReilly]

Exaclty. Because ...

 

I'm pretty sure that Spurs haven't won a single damn game following a CL week.

 

This is a myth. Their record after CL games is far better than the likes of Tomkins try and make out, and ...

 

They have to go through Real Madrid and Barcelona to get to the final. I don't really think we have to worry about that.

 

We did! We've beaten both en-route.

[lfc_sotorious]

lets just focus on ourselves, no point hoping for city and spurs to drop points if we dont win our own games

[olifrated]

i believe we will finish a few points behind

 

and then all wonder WHAT IF

 

not being pessimistic we have JUST left it too late

 

although i will never give up hope completely
