We've lost loads of the easier games on paper this season. 

 

Be delighted with top half tbh. Don't think we'll get it

Honesty think we might struggle to stay in mid table 

 

should have enough to stay up but might be tighter than we all hope

 

we just can’t win at home which is a worry

If we can’t address these shite home performances before the end of the season I fear for us next year

Scary run in.

 

Lets just look forward to next season hopefully we won't lose all the remaining games and be playing championship football.

 

I do think we have a new manager already lined up for the summer don't think Puel will keep his job if he gets bottom 10 in the table

Spurs A - Son scores a hattrick.  But Vardy turns the tap back on good and proper and bags 4, the last one in the 5th minute of "4 added on minutes".We win 4-3. Breathless game.  Pundits gutted.

 

Crystal Palace H - The "Jeff Schlupp Trophy" ends badly for Palace, as Roy Hodgson suffers a nervous breakdown mid-match, caused by latent guilt at not taking triumphant Drinkwater and Albrighton to play along with Vardy for England in 2016 and instead picking Jack Bloody Wilshere and losing to Bloody Iceland.  Schlupp, temporarily disoriented, runs 60 yards and bangs in a screamer from distance INTO HIS OWN NET, before being advised of his error by his teammates, who turn him around. Iheanacho comes on late and scores off his backside within one minute and then undeservedly gets MOTM.  We win 2-0.

 

Brighton H - Win 6-0. That's Six - Nil In arrests for homophobic chants.  We also win the actual game game 1-0.  Iheanacho again, causing the club to offer him a fat new 5 Year contract.  He never scores for us again.

 

Watford A - This year's "Deeney Day" is marred for (T)Watford by it actually being "Vardy Day", as JV scores a brace and then runs in front of their fans, cupping his ears, both times.

 

Fulham H - Claudio Ranieri's is back with another bunch of outsiders, and it's 5,000 to one against that Fulham will stay up.  Regulation 2-0 win for City,  Relegation beckons for Fulham. Barnes scores his first "official" goal. Okazaki scores what will turn out to be his last goal for us. Off his shoulder from half a yard, of course.

 

Burnley A - The gravelly voiced moaning one is sent to the stands, for, err, moaning in a gravelly voice.  We hammer them 4-0.  Tielemans scores twice and does a "pelvic thrust" celebration, which gets him a 2nd yellow and sent off.  He tries to explain post match that it was a "Flemish Floss", but gets a ban anyway.

 

Bournemouth H - We never, ever, ever beat Bournemouth.  Except this time, when we win 1-0 with a last minute deflected effort from Maguire.  Three quarters of the way through the game, at 0-0, Puel continues his bizarre run of substitutions by removing Vardy and bringing on Danny Ward up front. Many, many boos from our crowd at half time and throughout the second half. Either that or they are shouting SHOOT, or FUCHS, or maybe BUFFOON.

 

Huddersfield A - They try to park the bus,  but we release the handbrake, after we are awarded an early dodgy penalty due to a Vardy dive which is strongly criticised on MOTD, and after that, it's a stroll against the bottom club. Win 3-0.

 

Newcastle H - Rondon peers meekly out from Johnny Evans's pocket, as we win 2-1, a Vardy Penalty and a Maguire header. 

 

West Ham A - The over-entitled home crowd boo loudly as their foreign manager, who doesn't interview with much charisma, appears hapless whilst they are beaten at home again.  Sounds familiar.  City triumph without having to go beyond 2nd gear.  Win 2-0.

 

Arsenal H - This one is on the telly, as we are battling to overtake Arsenal in the league.  Granit Xhaka is sent off after 7 minutes for a professional foul and we win 1-0 thanks to a Maddison free kick over the wall. City do a dressing room selfie.

 

Man City A - Pep never wants to play against us ever again, as we complete the double over them, with a 1-2 win, in the game which decides the Premier League in favour of the Scousers, and guarantees Europa League for us next year.

 

Chelsea H - Nothing at stake here, as both teams stroll about in the sunshine without much purpose until the last 10 minutes. We inadvertently score on 86 minutes from a fluke Maddison corner which curls directly into the net and we win 1-0.

 

39 points from our run in. Easy.

 

Puel to stay and build a dynasty. 

 

Our fans finally take him to heart and do a song for him, "My Mate Puel", based on the ACDC song "Highway to Hell".

 

COYB :scarf:

We'll take 15-18 points, win 4 or 5, draw 3, lose 5 or 6. Standard midtable form, finish somewhere between 8th and 11th. Settle in, this is reality for us now and baring a miracle season like 15/16, it's as good as it'll get while we build a platform to push beyond it.

Based on our recent record against Palace and the usual loss to Spurs, we could conceivably go into the Brighton game winless in 7 and much nearer to the drop zone than we'd like. That said, after the Spurs game we haven't got any of top 6 until the final weeks. Really could still be anything from 7th to 17th.

 

We'd have to have a hell of a stinker to be dragged into any sort of dog fight, but with every passing week currently a top 10 finish seems more and more unrealistic. Who knows with our Jekyll and Hyde side, though.

Only Huddersfield are below City in the form table for the last 6 games, home and away. If that form continues, we'll get 40 or 41 points. But looking at the remaining home fixtures, somewhere around 45 points seems feasible. That would equate to one point per game over the last 13 fixtures.
