Our recent form suggests we don’t win more than one match in a row so finding seven of them does seem a touch optimistic.Here's my (ever so slightly) optimistic take on our run-in:
Man Utd (H) Evenly matched, but we’re at home & eager to make up for Wembley. WIN.
Everton (H) WIN.
Arsenal (A) Crucial (for both). They have Newcastle away next – lose there and we can end their title hopes at the Emirates. WIN.
Newcastle (A) Tough game, but they won’t be looking forwards to it either. WIN
Southampton (H) WIN.
Man City (H) If (IF!) we have beaten Arsenal, this could be vs the crowned champions. We’ve done it before... (at home admittedly). WIN.
Aston Villa (A) If (IF!) the above has happened, we will be on a massive roll, so why not? WIN!
21 points, leaving us on 73 and 5th or better.
Newcastle would have to find another 8 points from the 4 games they have left (not including us), though would probably sneak it on GD.
Man U would have to find another 11 points from the 5 games they have left (not including us) as our GD is too good for them.
We're about 20/1 for securing champions league now, which seems about right.
NURSE!
