I really want to finish in the top half - more for pride than anything. But we're still 5 points adrift with 6 games to go. Spammers have four home games to our three. Yesterday morning I thought we'd do it but less sure now.

For us:
Blackburn (A)
Middlesbrough (H)
Wigan (A)
Bolton (H)
Reading (A)
Liverpool (H)

For Spammers:
Portsmouth (H)
Bolton (A)
Derby (H)
Newcastle (H)
Man Utd (A)
Aston Villa (H)

Surely after yesterday's thinly veiled comments from Ramos and Gus we're going to start playing now.... :pray:

We should have caught them weeks ago but we've been as half-arsed in our approach to picking up points as they have. We definitely won't do it if we have any more displays like yesterday, it annoys me more the more I think about it. And I was fairly annoyed stright after!

Blackburn (A)
Middlesbrough (H)
Wigan (A)
Bolton (H)
Reading (A)
Liverpool (H)

Depending on which Spurs team shows up we can effectively decide the relegation battle looking at those games.

But back on topic, we should've been two behind after yesterday's game. We can still catch them, but we've made it far too hard for ourselves.

There's not much chance, and not much point unless you've got a bet on with an 'Appy 'Ammer. We've done them 4-0 and that'll do me. I'm going to try to adjust my expectations and look for the golden nuggets lurking in the shite of tactical experimentation that I'm now expecting for the rest of the season. Zox in fox in box shox?

Let them finish above us. They haven't had a parade for a few years now.

For us:
Blackburn (A) 0
Middlesbrough (H) 3
Wigan (A) 3
Bolton (H) 3
Reading (A) 1
Liverpool (H) 1

Gives us 11 more points. Up to 50?

For Spammers:
Portsmouth (H) 1
Bolton (A) 1
Derby (H) 3
Newcastle (H) 3
Man Utd (A) 0
Aston Villa (H) 1

Gives them 9 more points. Up to 53 for them.

Is my guesstimation, anyway.

11th is about right for us... apart from the Carling Cup, we've had an awful season, in my opinion.

Including the Cup we've had a shit season. Any team can fluke a cup, Boro won it the other year, we won it in 99 when we were shit and you only have to look at the FA Cup this year.

The league is our bread and butter and we bottled it.

we had a great chance if we beat newcastle. Games are running out and we are too far behind.

Can't believe it - I had a 20 quid bet with my dad that we would finish in the top half and him saying we would finish bottom half. That was about 2 months ago and I can't believe we are still no closer to the spammers

Realistically, we'll lose at least 2 of our remaining 6 fixtures. I think we'll be lucky to pick up 10 points.

Six games ago I'd have said we were still in with a fairly realistic chance of 6th-7th. Not only would I have said it, I did say it.

Last season the incompetent Jol and his bunch of unfit cake-eating bozos took 15 points from the first six of our last twelve games. This season we've managed seven. Draw your own conclusions over the next six.

All the talk of us finishing in the top 4 at the start of the season........and now look, 6 games to go and the talk is of, 'will we finish above West Ham' or 'Will we finish in the top half'......a tad depressing.........

Nickspurs "Can we catch the Spammers" ?

No offense mate but I haven't got over the Geordies wiping the floor with us .

Are you trying to totally depress us ?
