Looking at the fixture and trying to look at possible scenarios I think we will finish 3rd.

What do you all think ??

The way we are struggling to score, we will end up 4th. I feel Arsenal will be on a run now especially the confidence they have got in europe from beating Madrid. Hate to say it but we are looking knackered...

2nd is still a possibility. Man U have a difficult run in compared to ours.  The only games that could present difficulties for us are Newcastle away and Bolton at home - tho we should in all honesty be looking to win both.  Todays result is going to make it all the more harder but imo we can still overhaul the Mancs.

3rd IMO, our remaining games that we have to play compared to those abova and below us are better. Not ruling out 2nd though.

Sadly i feel Arsenal will sneak 3rd, so im going to say 4th :(
It will be a improvement on last season i suppose but we deserve a bit better than this we have been unlucky at times:(

we will get 3rd or hope manchester slip up because they do have chelsea and arsenal yet to play. Arsenal won't get 3rd! they are 7 points behind us and it is almost impossible for them to catch us, because i feel confident that Liverpool won't slip and we will get back our form again

I think 3rd place is in our own hands now and we wont blow it. Hopefully Arsenals european run will also mean it will be too difficult for them to catch us. I still think they will pip spurs to 4th though.

I think we will finish 2nd....seeing as we are out of the Champions League and have a less hectic match schedule. But Arsenal's confidence are coming from the belief they can do what we did last year in the CL, and they won't beat Juventus im sorry....

Manchester United are on form now which is a worry....but i think they will slip up again, having watched many of their matches recently its only a matter of time. Ronaldo will fucc himself up and Saha's goalscoring will come to an end cos he ain't playing Championship teams anymore....and RVN is too :censored: off to play well now. Their defence is still prone to mistakes and they still don't have a central midfielder....we are tired, yes. But we will regain our composure, hopefully.

In my expert opinion...we'll definitely come 2nd, 3rd or 4th.
:p
(At least that will mean we qualify for the Champions League!)

I've felt since late January that we've been running out of steam.  I think we'll get a second wind, start scoring and get some luck.  I guess we'll come 3rd and give ManUre a scare along the way, at least for a bit.

Rafa has to stop the rot soon, because if we get dragged into the 4th place scrap its going to be hell... :(

probably 3rd or 4th. I dont think we can finish second now.
Doesnt really matter if you finish 2nd , 3rd or 4th if you ask me.
As you always get an easy 3rd round CL qualifying draw, V some Swiss idiots anyway, which we should breeze through.

Its not that much advantage finishing second, although To finish above Man Utd for the "pride factor" seems unlikely. I just dont think some of our players, ie; Kewell, Garcia, Cisse and Crouch have the determination or fight to achieve it.

If we dont get in top 4 though, then someone needs a boll*cking, as we have obviously thrown it all away after we were in a strong position.

If you finish second you qualify automatically for the champions league.

It would be better, but that isn't going to happen untill we learn how to take chances and stop giving the ball away in stupid area's of the pitch. *Cough*GERRARD*cough*LUIS GARCIA*cough.

Sad to say, but I think 4th. looks like the case, cosidering our 'goal-shyness'. Like yesterday's game, we should have easily knock in 2 goals in the 1st. half, but we failed. I saw the stat they put it in for us on the ESPN 'Here we Go!' on Friday, we score a goal for every 225 minutes.... that's terrible.

But, overall, we are much much better this season compared to last. At least, this season, I'm sure we are gettin' that 4th spot, unless we screw ourselves badly. I do feel that somehow we will win the FA Cup this season....
