ok, i posted this elsewhere but it kind of hijacked the original thread and i would like more people to see that they should believe we can acheive 7th place this term. Here's the post:
my prediction, and what realistically we should actually be achieving:
Blackburn - Win / possible draw
West Spam - Win
Newcastle - Win
Manure - loss
WBA - Win
Everton - draw
Manchester City - Win
Liverpool - loss or win, depending on if Liverpool have secured or lost the title, or got to the CL final. If the PL title comes down to the last game and l'pool hav got to Cl final, then i expect a loss as they are desperate for a PL title under their belts as opposed to another CL one.. however, if Liverpool have already won PL then we should expect a win because they wud play their yungsters to save first team for CL final. Also, if they make Cl final and lose PL before final game it should b a win for us. Therefore, the chances for us to win that final ficture are very good, all depending on liverpool's perfornce.. we need them to play really well So im rooting for them in all their upcoming games in conjunction with ours
so thats potentially 18 realistic points (15 if we lose to l'pool and 16 if we draw to blackburn, 14 if we get the not so good realistic outcomes against these teams). This would take us up to 56 maximum realistic points and 52 minimum realistic points. IF we follow the plan, we will definately overtake Man City and West Spam in PL as they are in our run of games. That would put us nineth if Fulham and Wigan perform equally as good as us. I had a look at their upcoming games and conclude that {although i dont follow either team so dont know anything much about their form} Fulham's realistic maximum point intake would be 12 [losing against chelsea(a), drawing against man city (a), m'borough (a), ncastle (a), and winning against Villa (h) Everton (h) on the finaly day] putting their total point tally to 52, our minimum realistic. We would just need to take more than the minimum realistic points or get a better GD than them to overtake them. Ok, so now we would be 8th. ON to Wigan; I predict their maximum point intake would be at 11 [losing against manure (h), drawing to everton (a), arsenal (h), blackburn (a), West Brom (a), stoke (a), and winning against bolton (h), and pompey (h)] putting their maximum realistic total point tally to 52. This is also our minimum realistic point tally and their GD is the same to ours so it should be hard to beat theirs should we get minimum realistic points.
Everton's realistic point maximum would be probably 10 [losing to chelsea (a) and fulham (a), drawing to wigan (h) Villa (a), s'land (a), us (h), and winning to Man city (h), and west spam (h)] putting their total realistic point tally to 58 which is 2 points above our maximum realistic point tally so 6th place would be a miracle to get.
7th place is very very very much a possibility lads, just gotta keep to the results above and its easy sailing. Also,we have to hope that 2 of the final PL top 6 of this season are in the FA cup final; freeing up that 7th place european spot.
This took me ages to go through so yea hope it carifies things :razz:
