Predicting is a dangerous game, but here goes:

Liverpool (a) 1

Newcastle (h) 3

Arsenal (a) 1

Man U (h) 3

Everton (a) 1

Stoke (h) 3

Chelsea (a) 1

13 points and a funky pattern.

I'll take the points, the funky pattern and the predicatability of the (h), (a), (h), (a) sequence. And not just because we are name-a-likes!

Well last season we got...

Liverpool (a) 3

Newcastle (h) 3

Arsenal (a) 3

Man U (h) 1

Everton (a) 0

Stoke (h) 3

Chelsea (a) 0

...13 points. I think I'd take that to be honest.

probably because theyve just beat city and united at home, and will have the racist back in time for our game

personally i would be hugely disappointed if we didnt get at least a point, our midfield (hopefully VDV is fit) is so superior to their brutes and has beens we should control it, just need clinical finishing on the night

Go one game further back and you have them getting mauled by Bolton :grin:

crowd will be up for it as they think they can get top 4 now, just need to silence them by completly controlling the pace of the game like we did at the lane

Liverpool away will be tough, no doubt about it. I think they will really wanna raise their game against us, they probably see us as how they think they should be at the moment.

We'll need to start with Sandro and Parker in my opinion as they usually pack the midfield as well.

My prediction for the games coming up would be:

Liverpool (a) 1

Newcastle (h) 3

Arsenal (a) 1

Man U
(h) 3

Everton
(a) 1

Stoke (h) 3

Chelsea (a) 0

But I think any one of the Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton games could be 3 points. Don't think we'll win at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool (3) - Don't be scared of the name, we are a better team than them!

Newcastle (3) - We're at home.

Arsenal (3) - Don't be scared of the name we are a better team than them!

Man Utd (3) - As long as we don't have a doughnut of a ref we can finally beat them.

Everton (1) - Another Wolves type game I expect, we're the better team and they'll play out of their skin.

Stoke (3) - We're at home, an early goal is vital.

Chelsea (1) - They'll be well up for it we just need to avoid defeat.

As long as we are right mentally I can see 16 points. My only fear is that in the past we have lost before we have kicked a ball.

Tommorow could be a pretty big day.

Man United vs. Liverpool

Everton vs Chelsea

Sunderland vs. Arsenal

Tottenham vs. Newcastle


We could potentially be 10 points ahead of Chelsea and 13 points ahead of Arsenal after tomorrow which would be fantastic as we move through this little patch of tough fixtures.

Man City away and Liverpool away, the toughest ones out of the way in my opinion.

Hmmmm I can see Everton and Chelsea being a draw, Manure will win, Arse and Sund? tough, depends what goons turn up, but Sunderland could definitely get something.

Don't forget, Sunderland had extra time in a local-derby cup game on Wednesday night. Might be a touch knackered.

Yea that's how I see it really. Everton are strange, I can see them beating Chelsea at home more than I can see them beating say, West Brom. They just seem to always raise their game against the bigger teams.

Yea Arse and Sun could go either way really. I just put the United one for guys/girls on here who are more concerned with the teams above us. Currently I'm more concerned with getting as far away as possible from both Chelsea and Arsenal.

This for me as well, I love seeing how big the gap is, but it has to be bigger :hump:

Ten points, and I think we will finish third. Ten points clear of fourth!

Unless Harry is appointed England manager and the team falls apart.

Was just about to say, and they were full strength. I could see Arsenal nicking it for that reason, they got lucky with that.

It was quite a slug-fest, as well.
Odds are, the Mackems will be exhausted.
Slim chance they will be buoyed by the victory.

Expect former, pray for latter.

Shit forgot that. Will still be a tough game for Arsenal but yea, the fitness difference of both teams may become an impacting factor.

This for me as well, I love seeing how big the gap is, but it has to be bigger :hump:

Yea I love seeing it now as well, I just want the fight for 4th to be officially between just Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle. Let the babies fight it out :lol:

We're last on as well, never know if that's good or bad to be honest. We'll know the results beforehand and it should be a great atmosphere for the 5.30 kick off so it'll hopefully favour us. They're all big days from here on in really.

I was thinking this today. If arsenal and Chelsea lose' which is quite possible, and we win, I think we would almost cement our place in the champs league bar a major collapse. We could lose 6 or 7 games and still qualify
