Just interested in reading how others on here think these games will pan out.
Confidence is obviously high, but even the most optimistic among us must find the idea of winning all six games to be a bit of a stretch.
Equally we've lost three games all season, so it seems unlikely that we'll lose many (if any).
We've got four tough away games:
Palace (playing well and beat Chelsea and Arsenal recently)
Leicester (they hate us and have bugger all else to play for)
Spam (as above, only more so)
Hull (on paper this could be our easiest remaining game, but they'll either be fighting for survival or desperate to end the season on something of a high)
Then two tough home games:
Arsenal (not playing well, but they'll be as pumped up to win the last NLD at the Lane as we will, and anything can happen in a derby)
United (fighting to finish in the CL spots, and have some big game players that will relish the drama of the occasion)
Personally I think we'll win one home game and draw the other, beat Hull, draw against West Ham, and have shock defeats away to Palace and Leicester. 8 points and deliberately pessimistic. It's pretty much the least I expect us to achieve.
