Last season's top 11 all played

[Morny]

in 14 games, and we're undefeated against them.

Now let's go into the next 10 or so games (which is a cracking run of fixtures) and actually take advantage of our good work against the best sides in the league.

It'll be so disappointing, after all the good work done against the likes of Chelsea, City, Everton, Man Utd etc.... if we then go and hoy away points against the likes of Wolves, West Ham, Blackpool and The Scum.

Haway Sunderland, real chance to actually kick on - let's fucking do this.

Not just that but look at our remaining home games...

West Ham
Bolton
Blackpool
Blackburn
Newcastle
Chelsea
Tottenham
Liverpool
West Brom
Wigan
Fulham
Wolverhampton

There are some tough games in there but we could go the season unbeaten at home, not only would that be some achievement but if we do it we will finish close, if not in, the European places.

Trouble is we slip up against the "lesser" teams. Let's hope that has changed this season!

And don't write Wolves off next game.

Bloody hell, never clicked on to that.

There's that little highlighted batch in the middle which will be tough (I reckon Liverpool will have picked up by then), but the other 9 are all very winnable. Should be looking at, at the very least, about 21/22 points from them.

That's what I'm saying. Let's actually take advantage of a run of good fixtures, and don't bollocks it up.

Aye, that run is tough but it starts in the beginning of Feb and runs to the end of March, so it is much easier than playing them all in the space of a week or two.

The rest of the games are very winnable though.

That would put us on 41/42 points and looking at our away games it's hard to be too confident of getting many points.

Wolves
Fulham
Man U
Villa
Blackpool
Stoke
Everton
Arsenal
City
Brum
Bolton
West Ham

No more than 15 points there, meaning we will finish about mid table.

It'll also be much easier if Chelsea, and especially Spurs, are still in the Champions League

And Liverpool in the Europa too.

Chelsea is a Tuesday night game, before the CL starts up again, so that won't make much difference.

Agree about Spurs mind.
