    But a hectic Easter lies ahead.

    With the table standing at..

    6...NEWCASTLE..53
    7...EVERTON......43
    8...LIVERPOOL....42
    9...US...............41

    I would say the Newcastle result was good for us, the FA Cup game, Liverpool v Everton could still play a big part but Easter is a big one.

    We have

    Friday
    Swans v Newcastle

    Sat
    us v Spuds
    Canaries v Everton
    Liverpool v Villa

    Monday
    Everton v us
    Mags v Bolton

    Tuesday
    Blackburn v Liverpool

    We can be sure that Newcastle will be at least 6th so can now forget them, but, us, Everton and Liverpool, any ideas?

    Liverpool need to make the final, it will be a serious disappointment for us to miss out on Europe after doing so well. I highly doubt we'll do it again next year.

    I think we can get at least 3 points from spuds and Everton. We coul get none though. Would love us to break our Everton hoodoo. 47pts we need to beat last season's total. Think we should break 50 points.

    when was the last time we went into the last 8 games just looking up the table too see where we can finish.

    50 points has to be a minimum target for us this year

    only one reason to look down to check if villa will get relegated

    I think we can get at least 9 points from the final 7 games and up to 12. I think we will finish 8th ahead of Liverpool who are really starting to look short on confidence and any kind of belief. 7th is possible but only if we draw with or beat Everton and at the moment I think they still have an advantage over us, don't know why but we just don't perform against them.

    The second season is always the killer & with a few of your lads sure to want Europe year in year out you'll surely loose 2 or 3.

    Would be nice to see Sunderland finish above Liverpool, hopefully your lot play like they did for 85 minutes against City, for the rest of the season.

    I'd expect Everton to come out top of that 3. They are a class act and Moyes has just started his favourite part of the season. Nothing in it with you and Liverpool. Depends which Sunderland turn up. And depends whether Liverpool bother to show up again this season.
