im afraid, i think 4th place may be out of our reach

[A.B.]

That was the story last year and what happened?

[ynwa]

thinkwe will lose 4 more games

[mrcool2003]

well guys i think taking it one game at a time is the sensible thing but thats just me

short term our next 5 fixtures in the league are:-
(a) charlton                                                 (h) norwich (everton)
(h) fulham                                                   (a) soton (everton)
(a) birmingham                                             (h) chelsea (everton)
(h) blackburn                                               (a) villa (everton)
(a) Newcastle                                              (h) blackburn (everton)

now when you put them together like that, we have easier fixtures than everton
and after those next 5 matches its the merseyside derby now, i reckon everton will get 9 points out of those 5 matches

so as we are 7 points behind them, we need to get at least 11 at worse points, so then if we beat everton we're only 2 points behind them, but looking at our fixtures we are quite capable of getting 13 or even maximum points out of those games, but it all depends whos coming back from injury and other factors

Charlton , Newcastle and Arsenal Away would be possible losses . At home we have Boro , Everton , Villa , Spurs, Bolton, Fulham and Blackburn............... Other Aways are Brum, Man City , Palace, Portsmouth.

[mrcool2003]

yeah i know m8, but im just thinking short term, then aft the everton match we can look long term, but by then we will have a few players back at least, so who knows

[Dalglish]

We have won a third of their Away game, drawn another third and lost half

[Dalglish]

So 7 Aways would bring 3 Losses , and 2 Wins and 2 draws using current form.

At home we have fared much better and won twice as many as we have lost and drwan combined , so using that home form we would expect to win 5, draw 1 and lose 1 giving us 61 points , 1 more than last season

[LFC #1]

hang on Ian - 1/3 plus 1/3 plus 1/2 = 7/6 ?

[Dalglish]

Feck off Teacher Just cos you got into Uni and I didn't

[LFC #1]

I'm sure basic maths was taught in primary school?

[Dalglish]

ohhhhh ya Bi.tch

Well I realise you can't apply fractions to the remaining fixtures cos we have 7 of each :P

[LFC #1]

you could but it may get a bit complicated.

[Dalglish]

Well putting aside the fractions or the decimals I can't see us winning at Arsenal, Newcastle or Charlton

Palace will scrap tooth and nail and we certaibly won't win every game at home. Its going all the way again this season but i won't be too biothered if we don't finish 4th .

In fact this obsession with 4th does my head in Maybe when we stop this obsession we wil start to play football worthy of 4th and higher

I can see us losing to Arsenal and Pompey but thats it.
