    What do people reckon to us finishing above the mackems this year?

    I think we've got a serious chance, given that we are improving and climbing while they are beginning to slip downwards.

    I would love it if we beat them...

    Would be hilarious to see the look on Mrs Doubtfires face

    At the minute, a very good chance. As long as we get the right results mind.
    Missed out yesterday to go above.

    Could do next week, they've got Arsenal and we've got Everton. Loss for them and draw or win for us would put us above.
    As long as recent results continue, we've got a very good chance yes.

    I don't think we will, now that we missed the chance yesterday.

    I think it will be tight, but their last two games are piss easy, and i think they'll get the 6 points to just nick the 7th spot from us.

    However, there's always a chance

    Tash - I know it sounds cliched, but there are no easy games in this league. Shocks happen and if they are on a bad run of form they could well lose them.

    I think we should. Were on better form recently. Plus, I think the unwashed know this too as they have
    be really quiet lately.

    Their last 2 games are against arguably the most dangerous teams possible, ones fighting for safety at the end of the season, fighting for everything they can!

    Not bothered in the slightest and think it's unlikely. Although I admit it would be hiliarous because of the stick we took about being the underdogs and the 6 easy points thing.

    I'd say that's probably a harder fixture list than ours, I'm quite confident we'll finish above them :)

    Beating Everton will be a big step next week. It'll be hard though, they're in form

    That's what I was thinking too. Teams fighting to avoid relegation. They won't be easy.

    I hope so, not because it is the mackems though. I just want to finish as high as possible and if we are ahead of them, we will surely be in the top half.

    Agree with that murray out, good for the region and always provides one major game in the season.

    All of their home games are winnable but I don't fancy their chances of picking much up on the road.
    As for us, we need to start winning some home games and if we can do that and continue to pick up points away from home it could be pretty close.
