Foxymcoxy Posted 7 December 2015 Posted 7 December 2015 Top 10 ??????????? You have to be kidding? Palace finished 10th on 49pts last season. Would you seriously be content getting 17pts from the last 23 games? That's relegation form and could mean us losing our best players and being one of the relegation favourites again next season. I'll be gutted to finish outside the top 7 and won't be overly happy with 5th or 6th. Like I say, once I had taken a step back and thought about it, top 10 is a good achievement and good progression. I would also win my bet which would be nice. At this point though, as I also said, I am looking higher given where we are.
Stevosevic Posted 7 December 2015 Posted 7 December 2015 No way would i take 10th now, we have 32 points already!
whoareyaaa Posted 7 December 2015 Posted 7 December 2015 Top four is looking more likely every week that passes, IF we can continue this form for the 2nd half of the season then there is no reason why we can't seriously be in contentionf for the title, as crazy as that sounds. This team is peaking right now I can't honestly see us slowing down, if anything we can only get better
bovril Posted 7 December 2015 Posted 7 December 2015 We won't know until Boxing Day if we're seriously going to challenge for the top 4 or not. We still have 11 games against Arsenal, Man City, United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and Everton. That's nearly half the remaining fixtures against very good sides. If we want to try and break into the top four we need to win at least 6 of those games and try not to drop many points against the other teams. 6th and qualification for EL would be dreamland for me. Still, won't stop me dreaming of winning the league. I was wandering down the street today imagining the commentary of the final game as Vardy scores a last minute winner to seal our first ever title....
ScouseFox Posted 7 December 2015 Posted 7 December 2015 not to get carried away but just booked the monday after the league finishes off work for the open top bus
promised land Posted 7 December 2015 Posted 7 December 2015 This team is peaking right now I can't honestly see us slowing down, if anything we can only get better Too right, we're on fire blasting 9 goals in the net in the last 3 away games alone. Non of this pass it sideways United style.
tom27111 Posted 7 December 2015 Posted 7 December 2015 Without getting carried away, isn't it time we started a 'Champions League 16/17' thread on THIS forum, not the general sport one?

I'll be gutted to finish outside the top 7 and won't be overly happy with 5th or 6th. This for me too. It would mean a drastic drop in form, how can anyone be content with that? I can't get my head around some fans' lack of ambition. It's the same when it comes to the cups. Do not be fooled into thinking this is any normal season. Every single top club has got faults that are more glaring than our own at the minute. Aim high. It's as close to being there for the taking as I remember it.
Dan Posted 7 December 2015 Posted 7 December 2015 Like I say, once I had taken a step back and thought about it, top 10 is a good achievement and good progression. I would also win my bet which would be nice. At this point though, as I also said, I am looking higher given where we are. It isn't. It's regression from here. From the summer it would've been progression, but things have taken a drastic swing. If we finish even 5th now then it's regression. Finishing 10th this season now would be absolutely depressing.
Reg Vardy Posted 7 December 2015 Author Posted 7 December 2015 Besides which of the big six, we only have ten games against them, (not eleven), having already drawn with Spurs and United at home....can see us getting something on Monday......a win would be fantastic......that BBC link really gets you thinking what's possible....besides we drew with Arsenal, Everton (twice) last year , Liverpool, and beat United....when we were in reverse gear.....
The Quick Brown Fox Posted 7 December 2015 Posted 7 December 2015 Who will be the tit to get the champions league winner 2017 tattoo like the man City fan did if/when we get top 4?
fuchsntf Posted 7 December 2015 Posted 7 December 2015 Our Claudio said, ' its the players job to stay focused, its the fans job to dream' Well my favourite Italalian, that exactly what this one fan will do, I am going to dream all our way to the title...by enjoying every single game as it comes, not looking to the next 3. Last season I seen teams we should fear, this season just 1 and we played and lost. I am not dreading any period, because nobody has yet has broken, through our iron curtain, and shaken us into a poor run. Now is the time to get carried away, we are top again.Dream police can stay away... In Mark Lawrence I trust.....
