In my humble view these are the best possible results at this late stage of the season: WBA away Draw Newcastle home Win Crystal Palace away Draw Sunderland home Win Arsenal away Defeat Man Utd home Draw Watford home Win Everton away Defeat W3 D3 L2 12 points Considering that we have only taken 25 points so far, am I clutching at straws with these predictions?
Yup - starting with today, your accumulator is out of the window I suspect but with any luck a home win against Man Utd will add a point to your total
I honestly think that on our day any one of those is winnable, other than maybe Arsenal. We could get anything up to about 16 points from that handful. Look at Leicester... And our run is arguably easier. I'm going to predict 11, though. And if we get wins against both Sunderland and Newcastle we will stay up.
I dream that we could hit 40 points with a following wind. We haven't had much luck at times (like the bar against Man City) and feel we are due some surely. Wins against Sunderland and Newcastle are musts really that takes us to 31. A win at either Palace or West brom makes 34 and then Watford and Man utd at home cold easily yiled another 4 making 38. Could we nick something at The Emirates? - possibly and then Everton away is tough. But a point there and Arsenal makes 40 which surely would be enough. But like I say, it was a dream!
