    because the eventual champions have generally lost less than 6 games,so we dip out on that one.
    Now then looking at our remaining 31 matches,9 of them are against the percieved top six (ie Man Citeh x 2,Chelski x 2,Spuds x 2,Liverpool,Man U and Arsenal x 1 each.Given that over the season there are always a number of shock results aka Cardiff v M.C / Arsenal v Villa and Man.U vWBA,it is not unrealistic to suggest that we can gleam at least 6 points from the 9 games (I am kind of going on law of averagers,if that indeed applies to us).
    This then leaves us to get at least 33 points to reach the magic 40 figure.Thats 33 out of 22 matches (or 66 points),ie exactly 50% of the points at stake.10 WINS and 3 draws is surely within our capabilities.
    A bit early you might all think,to start analysing what we have left and agree that we need to start our recovery using the "take it a game at a time" philosphy.
    I remain confident that it will turn around for us and this will hopefully be over the next three games.We must target at least 7 points v Swans/Mags/Hull.
    Come on Gus get them fired up
    Haway the lads

    I remember seeing that film back in 1981/82 as a 17 year old? Utterly ****e film but it was a massive impact film because of that head exploding scene. Caused ****ing mayhem with the Mary Whitehouse brigade at the time - it may even have been banned at some point.

    Hi Bri,
    sorry about that,did't think it was enough to do anyones head in! ( apart from mine)
    Its all ifs,buts and maybes at this stage.Perhaps it would have sounded better with 11 wins and and 6 draws required.
    Why is it season after bloody season we get to the same stage of "Must win games".Wouldn't be the same without this senario would it.
    Keeping the faith as I am sure you are.

    I'm a bit mental like and really struggle with numbers. I tend to spell my numbers rather than use number form. Some league tables a really difficult for me to follow. Mix of being a stoner and dyslexic I think. Don't stop on my account though fella. I just saw an amusing gif opportunity. :D
