  1. 1. How likely are we to finish top four this season? 0 = nee chance, 5 = can’t call it, 10 = nailed on marra

I sort of get why people have a little bit of trepidation about playing clubs that have something to play for, but I also remember years of being near the bottom of the table when absolutely. nothing. would. go. our. way. We’re going to have our way with them, sexually. Metaphorically sexually.

We have something to play for too, tho and we have a lot of players who’ve never in their wildest dreams would have played CL football. This is more than just 3rd place and all that. This is potentially once in a lifetime achievement.

Results are unpredictable at this stage of the season, look at the Brighton v Everton game as an example.

FourFourTwo have made a video about the tactics used by Everton in beating Brighton which is a good watch.

Not sure how anyone can look at the Mancs fixtures and think they can gain 15 points from 4 games. 

 

Not sure how anyone could actually take that seriously [emoji38]

The Moura pass had shades of the Allison goal. 

 

Yep, they went on a similar run that season and scraped in via a ridiculous injury time goal from their Keeper - twats!

Just win on Saturday and see what happens with Liverpool Monday night. They're away from home, if Leicester have any hope of survival they need a big performance considering Forest and Everton won, where better than at home to a below par Liverpool? We could be sitting here Monday night with 1 more point needed to finish it.

Win on Saturday and we only need 4 points from 2 back to back home matches. Got the jitters about Saturday for no real justifiable reason though. :lol:

 

Ha ha I've been like that all week!

 

Every logical reason suggests a comfortable away win but that fat-headed twat in the dugout worries me epsecially as he hates us and our fans!

 

He's going to get pelters from the away end anyway - lovely!

So have I. Its Big Sam's first home game and whether people like it or not its going to be a tough game, at least at the start. Leeds absolutely have to win so they shouldn't be totally parking the bus which will work to our advantage, plus their defenders are really shit. If we get the first goal we should go on to win really comfortably. If we concede first its going to be a complete pain in the balls trying to break down a team with everyone defending. I think we'll come under a ton of pressure but score first and win about 3-0 though, similar to Everton away.

Nah. Big Sam won't risk conceding early.

 

His plan will be to get it to half-time 0-0 and have something to hold mentally. Try and win it off a counter or set piece. He'll take a cleansheet and 1 point imo.

 

West Ham are in Europe and will likely rest players for the Leeds game. Haven't been a good team this season. And have nothing to play for. 1-3 points there.

West Ham will either be through to the final or out of Europe at that stage, its also their last home game of the season too. They'll want to finish the season with a win, and they'll be buzzing if they've made a European final. Still a very tough game for Leeds. This weekend is massive for them, they won't want to rely on an away game or the last game of the season to try and sort it out.

 

They'll be defensive alright because we're a far better team but they'll definitely be going for the 3 points against us because a draw doesn't get them out of the bottom 3, even 2 draws doesn't in the remaining games.

You’re right on West Ham. 
 

If they’re in the final they will put in a stinker and the fans won’t care. Leeds are bad however.

Wilson feeling the pressure a touch. It sounds like we're targeting winning three of the last four.  

That from his podcast? Not an unreasonable target.  People forget given the pressure, but if this was mid-season, we'd have every reason to target 10 points from these fixtures and hope for all 12.

Aye. That and he more or less says that he's not quite as confident about our chances as he was a few weeks back.

Can't disagree with him, I'm more like an 8 now than a 9, but I think I might prefer him not saying that in public :lol:

What the fuck kind of mindset in that? Come on Wilson. :lol: 

 

Does he actually say that or is that just your take on what he was saying?
