Nalis Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 Did the premier league predictor after the Liverpool Palace match, I have Chelsea, Spurs, Man City and Arsenal as top 4, us to finish 10th, and Hull to go down with 36pts.

Leamington Fox Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 I'm not relaxing yet, although we are in decent nick and have it all in our own hands. It is going to need three teams to overtake us, despite our games in hand. I can see West Ham only picking up one more point, having looked at their run in. On balance, I fancy Hull not quite to survive this.
nnfox Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 We are in mini league with Burnley, Hull, Swansea, Boro and Sunderland. We need to finish at least 3rd. We have 2 games more than our main rivals and a 6 point head start over the bottom half. Some of them will lose points as they have to play each other. We'll be fine.
Stevosevic Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 I'll be disappointed not to finish top half looking at the table.
Spudulike Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 I don't think it's a bad thing that we still need a few points. It keeps the players on their toes rather than having the season peter out. Gives us a purpose rather than it all going stale which could affect the start of 17/18.

I'd say we're in the mini league above with Watford, Stoke, Palace, Bournemouth and West Ham- and I think we should be aiming to win it.
Corky Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 The highest team Liverpool have lost to is 12th. The complete opposite to flat track bullies.
st albans fox Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 Lpool losing gives Arsenal more motivation for Wednesday all the results this weekend weren't what we wanted for various reasons but previous ones have delivered so it's only expected that some will be like this fortunately we have a big enough buffer but want to finish well with an eye on next season.
fuchsntf Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 I would suggest, that people forget EOS run ins. At this time of the year they mean Zilch..!!! Sunderland in the past, CPalace this season. Now Hull and Swansea. Oh I believe we are safe, I just hope the players dont think they can stroll the last 6 games. Until we have 41+pts, knowing all bottom sides actually do play better football compared to seasons past, we aint yet safe!! . This is the way it should be, all teams fighting for their right to keep their place in the PL, and putting in Tclass performances. Palace were excellent today, in fact in this run of 4-5 games. All top scalps.Their run in is turning out to be the easiest, spite what was suggested in March.Not forgetting they are playing good football. Now lets see if we can follow suit....
Stadt Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 None of the sides below us have the ability or determination to go on a miracle run, Hull under Silva have been a better team than Swansea under Clement and I expect Swansea to down.

Let the other teams do what they want, I don't care, we've got enough quality to get some more points on the board. I mean, in our last 7 we've won 5 drawn 1 and lost 1. We'll be ok. ...And lost five straight before that. Anything could happen with us.
Chico1958 Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 Well that didn't go as expected.......... Palace were everywhere Rode their luck at time but good on them....... Big Sam anyone Burnley disappointing why Barton didn't take him out I got no idea. At least Arsenal played the extra 30 minutes and their mind will be on staying fit for the Cup....... Hopefully Probably the worst set of results we could have had this weekend. At least we got 6 games to get the 7 points I think we need
Guest Col city fan Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 I think we'll be fine now...as I said a few weeks ago, it's not only about points, it's about how you are playing that matters. And we are playing well. The weekends results have been unfavorable for us though, make no mistake. It just makes us that little bit more vulnerable. I think we'll lose to Arsenal, but will pick up another win or two, making us safe.

At least we got 6 games to get the 7 points I think we need Over a month away - almost time to tear a hamstring and be back! The owners are keener on top four than the FA cup. The players may prefer the latter. Either way, Wednesday night will have no effect from the final up ahead. We can hope they are a bit tired from today's exertions.
foxinsocks Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 They are inconsistent. ... they were woeful againsy boro... city have them too much space .... we will win i am sure of it

Hopefully I did say Hopefully and yes I hope they're tired to But I think they will see Liverpools slip up today as a gap in the door that they can get in Here's to Hoping though
st albans fox Posted 23 April 2017 Posted 23 April 2017 watching el Classico and clear that Madrid playing with a more traditional holding midfielder with casimiro. Wonder if they have an eye on kante.? Already shown he is ambitious enough to move on after one season. Couldn't see Chelsea allowing him to go though.
