Next 3 games are vital. I’m always quite negative but 2 wins in our next 3 and it’s ours to lose going forward (if it isn’t already). Brentford, Villa and Tottenham are tough, tough fixtures back-to-back.

I’m more worried about injuries and suspensions than other teams. 

We should never forget that a hamstring for Trippier and a broken foot for Bruno could radically alter our season.

As we are + Miggy. We are a very good team with talent, composure, work rate etc. in all areas. We have everything right now. But we are only 2 or 3 injuries to the wrong players from being fairly average.

 

If we keep everyone fit. I've no doubt we'll finish top 4. 

 

I said some time ago. We needed a strong finish from ASM & Isak and they've started to show that.

IMO Trippier and Bruno are our only irreplaceable players and injuries to them could derail the season. We should be able to handle injuries to any other players.

Even Trippier we might be able to get by. Totally different side without Bruno. 
 

6 games without - 2 losses and 4 draws

 

Only loss PL loss with him this season is away to City. 
 

In fact, we’ve only ever lost 5 league games he’s started and two of them were his first two. [emoji38]

I'm getting a Wigan away vibes from one of our away matches, man. Brentford, Villa, Everon, Leeds. Can't seem to shake off the feeling. Can still remember how pissed off I was after that match.

I don’t think this team is capable of Wigan away.

Smoke and mirrors in large parts largely down to career best form from Ba and then Cisse that covered the entire season.

I was watching a you tube video of Cisse's goals that season. Twelve goals not one tap in, can't remember anybody scoring so many outstanding goals in such a short period.

Nah everyone pulled in the same direction. Confidence. Belief. Some quality in key positions s.  Outside of Cisse we scored some great goals. 
 

but this team is legit better

Every team usually gets humped once a season. We’ve yet to but always possible. Have a bad feeling for Villa/Chelsea away. On the other hand this is the best back five I’ve known us have.

I would have been so confident of a top 4 finish with our back 5 from that ridiculous clean sheet run we had. Ever since then though, I've shit bricks everytime Botman plays a pass forward or when Pope receives the ball at his feet.

 

Get pass Brentford, Villa and Everton unharmed, I guess we should almost be there. Leeds away looks tough too but think we can outscore them there.

It still had some of the togetherness and leadership from promotion / Hughton and some great buys by Carr like Cabaye and HBA, plus the ridiculous scoring form of the two forwards. The smoke and mirrors part refers to Pardew. I refuse to give him any credit.

Right. He did well to keep things going. He was great at maintaining a vibe. Whether that vibe was good or awful it would stay for some time.

Michael Oliver refereeing the Man Utd v Everton game. Seems a bit dodgy that if Everton get a dodgy call their way.

Just so you know:

If we win tomorrow, Spurs and Brighton draw, then Liverpool lose to Arsenal.... the top 4 is done. Nobody is catching us then

That can't be right surely, with Brighton's remaining games they could get  33 points

For those that do still care about rivals matches, if there had to be a winner in the Spurs vs Brighton match, who would you prefer to win and why. Draw is clearly the best result.

Brighton clearly, if not a draw. Tottenham are still more favored to reach top 4 than Brighton. 
 

edit: I also like Brighton a lot more and would love to see them in the cl with us
