    Everyone is expecting Chelsea to cruise but they struggled against West Ham last year and have had less time to rest (about a day and a half less) before another game two days later against us. I think Chelsea will slip up in one of these. I hope it is against us but more likely against West Ham whom are on a high.

    Yep, I think West Ham will be tricky, although I think they'll get a win against Arsenal rather than Chelsea.

    If we keep in touch with the next 4 games, the ones after that will be very interesting. Newcastle, Swansea, QPR and West Ham. Results against Newcastle and West Ham could make all the difference, though overall I can't see Newcastle keeping up enough momentum to be in with a shout.

    I think we should be looking at 6 points as a reasonable target but 7 should be easily achievable.
    We should be aiming for a definite win against Palace. Arsenal aren't brilliant and are weak at the back so we should be targeting a win at home there. Man Utd away is a toughie but again we should be looking at least for a point out of that game and Chelsea's form has dropped off now so we should be targeting a draw at least there too.

    7 points would be great but 6 would do. More than that and Liverpool fans gleefully asking for us to be struck off the RAWK alternative table can shove their joy up their arses.

    I wish I was as optimistic as you, especially after a tough run, we look a bit overdependent on Pelle at times. We shall see and will be delighted if you are correct :). Let's see how we are on this board at 5 pm tonight - ecstatic or deflated or somewhere in between!

    Well I have a win and a draw so far :) And we haven't been dependent on Pelle for a while now. We looked a proper side today especially when Chelsea had us pinned back for ages. The whole team were putting their bodies in the way to block today.

    We will win 1 of the Man U/Arse games and I will be hailed the new mystic meg

    Was thinking four points, but we are getting some strength & options what with JWP's dead balls & Reeds tenacity, so I'll go with an optimistic 7.

    Happy to be wrong with seven points if we can pay Utd back for their fluky win last month. UTS

    I'm already delighted, but we can beat Utd.

    Utd don't look great, but are at home.
