Stifler Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 20p staked on us to win the league would currently return a hundred quid We obviously aren't going to hold a challenge to it for long, but I honestly think our squad is only a few players away from doing so. Maybe Pardew can convince Kinnear and he can convince Ashley that we'll go for it in the January market in order to finish at least 4th, but to have a realistic chance at the title. If there's a season, it's this season. (Do it.) Imagine if we won the league this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Knowing us, IF we'd end up in 4th place we would fail to qualify anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Knowing us, IF we'd end up in 4th place we would fail to qualify anyway nearly happened to us 2 years ago, how heartbreaking would it have been to have managed to finish 4th only to watch Chelsea win the CL like they did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Second in the current form table: http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/form-guide.html Especially impressive with some of the teams we've faced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 If you go further back to the beginning of November we have the best form in the league. I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 We'll not finish higher than 5th/6th IMO. at a push, we could nick 4th but I think that relies on others slipping up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I think we'll finish 7th. IF we'd be willing to spend some money on a couple of quality additions i say 4-6th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 We lost ground today like, no doubt. Still in our (and the rest of the top 8's) hands though. January will be huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Whilst today could have gone a lot better, for us to be above the 2011/12 line at the halfway point of the season is still a canny achievement. Have to push on and have a somewhat productive transfer window. One new striker (a target man preferably to support Remy) and we should have just about enough tools to push on.

Deuce Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Interesting to think that we're on pace to finish with more points this season than in 11/12 and yet it probably wouldn't be enough for 5th. A lot tighter at the top this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Is our best XI (whatever that may be in your mind) better now than it was in 11/12? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Is our best XI (whatever that may be in your mind) better now than it was in 11/12? Missing Ba obviously but better imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 http://i.imgur.com/NE76szQ.png Lost that match in every season documented here.

Dave Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Effectively seven points behind 4th now, looks out of the question already. Ah well, was always very unlikely. Anyway: http://i.imgur.com/a0eFEdk.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
