Today was a good result (Vs Man U), however it will not get us near the CL positions. I fear Chelsea we go on a 'champions' type run and will leave us for dead. We therefore need to close the gap on Arsenal and City currently standing at 6 and 8 points if we want to keep our current CL status.
So we look forward
Our next 10 games are against
Newcastle A
Blackburn A
Bolton H
Sunderland A
Blackpool A
Arsenal H
Wolves A
West Ham H
Wigan A
Stoke H
All of these games are winnable, there are no games personally i think should be too difficult. We now need to show we our true CL contenders and win 7/8 out of these next 10 games only allowing a couple of slip ups.
If we can win the Arsenal game specifically to close that gap inclusive of the 7/8 then we will put ourselves right back in there.
Hopefully my assumpton in the first line proves to be wrong and Chelsea continue on faltering form and we only need to catch the one point.
One of games can go wrong so thats why I am taking the long term view of 10 games I believe we need to acheive 22-25 points. This is the classic 2 ppg CL factor plus an extra few to catch up with the others.
How many are you guys hoping for?
ps the 11th may possible be a trip to City
