After us having 3 MNFs on a row last season and it being a disadvantage. Chelsea have 2 In a row in March.

6/3 West Ham away

13/3 Watford at home.

If they drop any points before these games then they will have their lead reduced further before they play.

Just trying to find some hope!

Alas, the hope will likely be for the teams around us. We have a special way of hobbling ourselves when the road ahead of us becomes clear.

If we could just get over that hump and take advantage of advantageous situations....

Main thing to give us any sort of chance is no injuries to key players after Rose is back. Just can't happen. Toby, Verts, Rose, Kane cannot get long-term again injured, for starters.

I actually meant to post the MNF thing on Friday when I saw it but it seems it's not relevant now.

Our return to form and maintaining it will only happen if we have all our first choice players back fit with no injuries for the rest of the season.

5th or 6th!? Come on!

I still see us as favourites to finish 2nd considering the matches we've already played..

I think the competition is just too fierce now and our relatively small squad( at least the key members of it) is going to come under too much pressure now Europe has started again and we are progressing in the FA Cup(meaning re-arranged league games) but, of course, I very much hope you are right

All depends on injuries and who gets injured will tell our fate at the end of season. I am hoping we stay in the top 4 only two point separates us from 6th.its very tight!

We fucked up champions league this year and get dumped out of Europa by an 8th place Belgian team. For the first time, I don't really care if we finish too 4 or not.

Yeah we'd have to implode in a incredible fashion to miss out on Europa assuming united win the league cup

Big game next week against Everton, then we play Palace (A), Southampton (H), Burnley (A), Swansea (A), Waford (H), Bournemouth (H), Leicester(A) before we face Arse at home on 29th April.

Within these next games,
Liverpool v Arse,
ManCity V Liverpool,
Liverpool V Everton,
Arse V Mancity,
Mancity V ManUtd,
Chelsea V ManCity,
United V Chelsea

1 week a game with only Millwall (H) and possibly FA cup semis as extra games.Once Rose is back, hopefully play the same XI week in week out till end of season.

Within the next 8 rounds, lets hope we pull away and make 2nd spot our own. Won't be easy, given we play relegation candidates but I would rather play them than top sides.

I think if we beat Everton and Burnley I'd be very confident about finishing 2nd.

Second is looking doable, we just need to be consistent away from home, that's what we need on the run in, I am wanting to win the FA Cup more than finishing top four personally, I want both actually, just want the FA Cup more.

Is it unrealistic to think we still have an outside shot at the title? Chelsea have some pretty tough games coming up and we have some very winnable ones, we are only 10 points behind them, is it unrealistic to believe?

I think you can add Leicester to that list of tough games for the Top 6.

Absolutely ripping Liverpool apart tonight!
