Belfast Boy Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 IF both us and Swansea win the next two games we could be top 4!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaron Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Well,im getting old! 2001....Too much for my memory At the end of the day,i still think we will finish 9-8 .Spurs and United will finish above us. but if we manage to sign two quality players maybe we can push for higher place. The good thing is that we are out of pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I know we didn't move in the table today but to keep Man united behind us still despite them winning two in a row is nice.

Karjala Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Bit of a run now and there's no reason why we can't finish somewhere in the top 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest antz1uk Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 look at the difference in points at the top of the table at the same point in 2011, we've got more points and the top have less, Puts things into perspective a little bit http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/2011-2012/table/2011-12-22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 That's actually insane. As good as this season is feeling, it doesn't seem to feel anywhere near as exciting as that season felt. Anyone else? Did the unbeaten start give an extra feel to it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 This could genuinely be a massive season for both our clubs. I think Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City, Everton, Newcastle and Spurs are all battling for 4 places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 doesn't feel anywhere near as good as it did then, yet we've won 2 more this season and lost one more, with +1 better gd. thinks it's us who arew bi-polar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City, Everton, Newcastle and Spurs are all battling for 4 places. Might be my natural Newcastle pessimism but keep thinking although its all great at the mo, eventually we'll be overtaken by man u and spurs and be left battling with Southampton for 8th/9th. Unless ofcourse we have a good January window and go on a mad winning run like 2 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It won't happen, but imagine if we finished above Man Utd? I still don't think we will do as well as that season, lets not forget that towards the end we went on something like a 6 game winning run, I just don't think we will finish that strongly. I'm taking the rest of this season 1 game at a time. Next up is Stoke, I think our typical Boxing day hoodoo will crop up again and we will only get a point out of it.

Stottie Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 We're still winning games during a barren spell for Remy, which bodes well for the games ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 If we can get 4 points from Stoke and Arsenal hope pards then decides fuck it lets go for it as very little if any threat to relegation and we are total underdogs up there. Hope Ashley/Big Joe see the opportunity and get a striker and winger and dont sell any key players. If we somehow manage to finish top 6 it would be fantastic compared to last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 A draw tomorrow night would be canny. Aye it would be, hoping for draws in both games today also ( keep Swansea n Southampton far enough away and limit Spurs n Everton points) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hope Ashley gets over excited again like when we signed Cisse and brings in a proper goalscorer. Gomis seems to be scoring his fair share, is a beast and more importantly is likely to fit into Ashley's budget. Imagine having an almost 1 in 2 striker doing the Shola role.

Peppe Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 That's actually insane. As good as this season is feeling, it doesn't seem to feel anywhere near as exciting as that season felt. Anyone else? Did the unbeaten start give an extra feel to it? I think maybe the knowledge that even if we do finish in one of the Europa spots the lack of ambition will (probably) see us finish 16th next season "because we're tired from all the Europa League games" or some shit like that. Think I'd be more excited if there was a chance of us adding the players we need to our team and taking the next step. The Fat Man just being cuntent with us staying in the Premier League is ruining it a bit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
