If they beat Villa today they still have a chance and I thought the same about us till our last 2 results
Newcastle are easily the worst side in the top half and right now and it won't get better until February. They'll be closer to the bottom 3 by then.
Updated first post. Have added chelsea and manures fixtures. They have a lot of winnables but I think our fixture run in is by far the best.
Spurs just won which leaves us 11 points behind Spurs and Villa, 6th place at best and even that's a tall order, win the cup and we'll be grand.
That’s what I put at the beginning of this thread 6th. Would be a good season. Say 6th and a cup run.
I'm confident that if Liverpool are knocked out at some point we will win the cup. If we face Liverpool we're ****ed because we can't ****ing beat them.
6th and a semi-final or final appearance would be an acceptable turnaround. Season has been mainly poor, though. We should have reached the EL. If we'd beat Milan we were in knockout of UCL. 1-0 up, Almiron misses an absolute sitter and here we are.
Should beat Blackburn, so we good a good shot at the semis at least for the FA Cup. 6th is a success now, season disappointing, but so many things gone wrong - our new midfield maestro getting banned for the season almost immediately, Barnes's bizarre toe injury keeping him out for 5 months, previously indestructible Joelinton getting injured, Willock out long term, PSG bribing the ref to get a last minute penalty blah blah. 7th gets us into Europa and that's fine at this point.
I don't think it's write to call the season a disappointment until at it's end really. If we finish 6th thats surely not disappointing? It was always going to be tougher this year.
