Match week 25 done for us. As much as sky like to say anything can happen usually this stage of the season is a very good indicator of where you finish.
For a bit of context matchweek 18 Xmas week we were 4th.
2 points off Villa. 8 clear of United.
Today 5th place - Still 2 points off Villa who we play away soon. Massive 6 pointer on the 10th March.
United currently 6 points below with a game in hand. Win today they narrow the gap to 3 points.
United fans I know are convinced they catch us.
Good thing we drew at their place too. If they won that and win their match today we would be 6th……Fine margins and all that…
Newcastle in 7th are the same distance as Liverpool in 1st place. 10 points.
So safe to say now that we are odds on to finish 4th to 6th. Unless we fall apart and drop like a stone or go and win every game. I don’t think either happens.
And I put my money on a Top 4 finish a while back but will be totally honest I did not envisage us losing to teams like wolves at home when I did that.
Plus not been watching last couple of gams either as they have not been on sky so I have no real idea of how we are playing.
What’s your thoughts at this point in time? We have some tough away games in our run in.
Top 4 nailed on?? Or squeaky bum time for missing out on the drama and riches of CL football?
