I did say i was an optimist in my original post Scott, LOL
But i do get your point and Manuels about our form so far against lower league teams not to mention the amount of games we may have to play if we keep going in the Europa.
I prefer to look forward rather than back so sticking with my 13 points, granted its very unlikely on paper, but i will keep the faith.

Not quite Manuel, im assuming (hoping) we get 3 points V Wolves, Fulham, Palace and Luton, all very doable wouldn't you agree?

Individually yes, but collectively, there is no way we are winning all 4 of those games.
There is 6 points between us and Fulham in 13th.
I'm thining we'll do well to finish in the top half.

Sydney - Fair enough, at least a bit of analysis. But to hope, assume, we will win the winnable games is probably off the mark considering we have dropped points the entire season against bottom half sides, as you commented on yourself just a few days ago. Couple that with 11 points taken from the last 12 games, that would be some turn around. We have only won 2 games all calendar year. Throw into the mix at least 2 more games in Europe, and I can't say I'm too hopeful of even going close to your prediction.
Maybe our best chance of 7th is the teams below us continuing to slip up, fuck knows how we are still 7th.

And then a point from either Liverpool or Chelsea, again that not too farfetched, is it?
Still thinking did i do the right thing in knocking back that Man city away ticket though? last game of the season and all that, my thoughts though is sitting in the middle of a bunch of Citeh fans celebration winning the PL would be bit too much, as i think they will do it.

Sydney - So you've (rightly) wrote off the City game, so you believe we will take 13 points from the remaining 6 games, when we have just taken 11 points from 12 games? You say you're an optimistic? What I think you meant to say is that you're a simple optimist away with the fairies.

I'm an optimist so 13 for me, so in with a chance of the conference (should we not win the Europa and be in the CL) be close i reckon? 58 would be 9th last season but we did get it the 21/22 season with 56 points!
I will be at the Luton game, got an outside chance of a ticket for the Chelsea away game as well.
Have decided to pass on the Man City game, could have got a ticket but in the home end! No thanks sitting with a bunch of Citeh fans.........plus its odds on a home win for them!

We are in a false position, should be a few places lower, and may well be by tomorrow night. 11 points from the last 36 I believe, nowhere near good enough.
To have any chance of finishing 7th we need min 7 points from the next three games imo.
