is reaching 4th/5th possible ?

[bovril]

top 5 no, but would love us to keep to within 4/5 points of Arsenal until we play them at the KP.

[Clever Fox]

I don't think we can make 4 or 5th But I'd really like us to finish ahead of Arsenal.

 

Now that would really piss them off.

You didn't mention rival clubs, you said we hadn't overturned a ten point swing.  Yes we have.

Well he was talking about the title winning season.....just scroll up

[ARM1968]

The glib, no answer aside, I believe a more thorough and cerebral evaluation of our chances of finishing 4th or 5th merits some effort. 

 

Not a fuching chance mate!!!!

He literally said that I think it was poor grammar, he meant we didn't have to the season we won the league.

[desertfox2]

Next season maybe. This year 7th and FA cup winners

I don’t know how to react to that

[Vacamion]

 

 

We we gave the top 5 a bit too much of a head start at the beginning of the season, until Puel was appointed, so, sadly, I don’t think so.

No but two wins for 40 points, first target.

yes! be positive!

i say it has a better chance than 5000/1

 

Agreed but lightening rarely strikes twice.

[katieakita]

Think we can cut the gap but lets concentrate on maintaining 7th and taking every game as they come including the FA cup, 7th would be a great effort and lays really good foundations to move on but always keep positive lets hope Spurs mess up against the Saints as the 3 league games after that are Man Utd,Arsenal and Liverpool

[foxes_rule1978]

FA Cup should be our goal now the one domestic cup we haven’t lifted and we are good enough to lift it

Dont think either team will drop the points and there is no way on this earth we will not drop points between now and end of season.

[Harry - LCFC]

I'd say we've got a 1 in 30 chance of catching Arsenal. 5th is beyond us.

[filthyfox]

No.... but I'd put a pound on it if someone offered 5000/1 to finish 6th

We never made up a ten point swing though

True, we just created one. 

 

Is it possible? Of course it's possible. 

 

Is it likely? No. 

[NewEnglandFox]

Too many points. It would require both a fortuitous collapse by them and an incredible run by us. Look to consolidate the Europa League place by pushing on in the league and the cup.

[Jimothy]

Of course it possible, it's still possible to win the league or go down too. Probably won't do any of those things though. All we can do is keep going, win as many as we can and see where we end up.

This is the dream

[Tuna]

I reckon if we'd have started the season with Claude, we'd probably be closer to 6th place in terms of points right now, but still will have been a tough ask.

 

Yes, it's possible but extremely unlikely, I'm just happy that we're playing well, have a lot of points on the board and can enjoy the rest of the season. 

 

7th and (possible) European qualification would be an incredible achievement given the position we were in at the end of August.

[Captain...]

We've already played Liverpool Chelsea and united twice.

 

That means there are only 3 games left we wouldn't be favourites. Arsenal at home, we could do them, Spurs away last game of the season. They will have bottled everything by then and if we need a win to finish ahead of Arsenal they'll roll over.

 

So all being well we will only drop points to Man City. We also know Arsenal will collapse without Sanchez, just look at them today. 6th is definitely on.

[Xen]

Reckon we'll start closing ground on Arsenal in 6th, but ultimately run out of games and finish 5-6 points behind them in 7th. Depends a lot on our match against them as to how big that gap is come May. 

 

Can't see us being troubled by Everton, and Burnley have lost a bit of steam, so 7th should be fairly comfortable. 

 

57 points.

Great theory.

 

Shame it doesnt work that way and never will though

 

[ealingfox]

You need 70+ points to get top 4, so we'd need 12 wins from the last 14 games, it's not happening. Long gone.
