We all know the drill, how many points from our next 6 PL games, as we see out 2015... 28/11 - City (A) 05/12 - Villa (H) 12/12 - Palace (A) 19/12 - Spurs (H) 26/12 - Arsenal (H) 28/12West Ham (A) Looks tough but this little run could go some way to deciding how our season pans out, a decent return coupled with a win in the cup will have us with a semi final to look forward as well as being in touch with top 6 in the league. So how does everyone think we'll get on? I reckon 8-10 points would be a very good return imo.

If we don't get more than six points from the next six games, I'll definitely go to watch Portsmouth at home at Fratton Park in January. Vin
6 points from that slate, given the fixture congestion in particular, should not be grounds for a meltdown. Have people forgotten that we took exactly 1 point from 5 matches last year in late November through mid-December and it was not in fact the end of the world?
Fair point but the squad is stronger this season and ì would expect us to turn at least a couple of your draws into wins
Is it really much stronger? I'm not by any means suggesting that we cannot achieve it, but 10 points from a group of six games that include three of the top five and five of the top ten is pretty bullish as far as expectations go. We should be delighted with that, not disappointed if we're achieving somewhat less and melting down if we merely extract four results from six matches.

City is a "no expectation game" for most people and then it's the scousers. That's the one for me now. Think about the rest after that.
I'd settle for 3 points and a win against the Pool. I think we'll get 5 points and will lose against the scousers.
