Not that there are any "free" games but overtaking both Spurs and Chelski with so few games left is a too big mountain to climb.

All things considering 5th/6th is where we are going to end up.

Weren't we 15-20 points behind Arsenal in March '89 and managed to take it to the last game of the season.  Albeit, with a better team.  We need to keep winning but the teams above us WILL drop points.  Fingers crossed.

After running the numbers, the most we can hope for is 70,71 points.  Chelsea's huge goal difference essentially gives them an extra point.  It would be a massive ask to reach 4th.  Chelsea still have Spurs twice and Manu twice - the schedule sets up for us to make a run at it, but it's still not likely.

I believe that on the last day of the season the discovery of alien life will be totally overshadowed by the second coming of Christ.

I think we can do it. If we beat wigan convincingly say 5-0 then we will have the momentum to get the likes of spurs and chelsea very jittery. Don't look at things from a strictly mathematical standpoint, it is also about testing the mental strength of the teams around you as well. If we stay positive and aggressive in our approach we stand a very good chance of clinching 4th.

It's ironic how if kenny gets us fourth through such difficult circumstances he came in at, it further underpins his legend status for another generation.

Think we have yet to play Spurs again too.

I think I could sacrifice the scum winning the league if it meant we got 4th place

If is quite possible that the Jammy tw@ts could take 6 points off Chelski

We want spurs to go as far as possible in the UCL, that lot will get dazzled by the bright lights and probably take their eyes off the bread and butter

Let's do this

Let's thrash wigan, and keep this run going

So how do you differentiate the optimists from the believers and the pessimists from the realists?  ???

That's pretty simple.  Just find out who is Single, Married, or Divorced.
