November for show - December for dough

Still think there's no reason we can't get 18 points in the next 6 league games considering we've actually played the bigger teams already.

A 41 point mark after half a season where we've drawn so many at Anfield is a decent return.

Sure we can get 18 points, but taking in to account the previous games against 'smaller' teams we cannot take this for granted!  I really hope we gan go on a winning streak here, but it's not gonna come easy

Come back to me when you find the last team to finish with 68+ points who didn't finish in the top four.

I understand your point fully and I have, mistakingly, misrepresented it.

The mistake I have made was to assume that you were discussing Liverpool and how many points we would have needed to have finished 4th in 2010/11, for example. I apologise, unreservedly, for making that assumption.

Just as it's true that only a team with 71 points would have been able to overtake Spurs for 4th that season - It is correct that Spurs would have only needed 68 points to remain in 4th.

Your observations about any team with 68 points is correct.

We can get 18points because our team is turning into quite a force, hopefully push for the title??

0 out of a possible 18 now.

i think we beat QPR and wigan away and hopeful other two home games only hard game is aston villa away i hope man city beat chelsea and aresanl because dont think we win league this year and hopeful spuds lose to stoke away

First 3 points today of the dough. After going to Villa, we should be able to get 9 points of the remaining games.

Another excellent away win against Villa and confidence is high, so I'm optimistic about the busy Christmas/New Year period.

We've got Wigan away, Blackburn and Newcastle at home, then we're away to City with a few days rest between each game. On the face of it, I think we can win the first three, and although we can beat City, I'd take a draw. That's 10 out of 12 points. Considering how tight things are between us and 3rd place, no reason we can't climb up there by start of january.

If Suarez is banned, makes things difficult but I don't think we're as reliant on him as we were on Torres. Bellamy's doing a good job, Kuyt can come in and it may give Andy some much needed games.

What are people's expectations from next four?

W,W,W,W

However I feel a Mod coming in here soon to merge this with another thread. 

Draw at Wigan,

Win over Blackburn

Win Over Newcastle

Draw at City

Would be happy with that.

I will go with the above post, two wins and two draws, a satisfactory haul over the Christmas and New Year period.

Saying that, our away form is very good this season,

So 3 wins and a draw minimum for me.

Got to be looking at 12 points there come on.

We kicked City's arse the other week and it was two points lost I thought. Taking that into account I think we'll be wanting to put that right, right?

The day I hope for a draw at Wigan is the day I do not have a hole in my arse. In fact I am actually astonished somebody has just posted that. On what grounds do you believe we should come away from there with a draw??

I can kind of get you saying that a draw at City would suffice but cant get you saying you'd be 'happy with that' especially when including being happy with going and getting a draw at Wigan F***ing Athletic.

Wigan win, Blackburn win, Newcastle win and City win.

Wigan win, Blackburn win, Newcastle win and City win.

We have a dodgy record at Wigan to say the least... They drew with the Chavs at the weekend, and are very difficult to beat at their place.

If you actually checked my 2nd post - I changed it to 3 wins and a draw.

i was thinking this too, wigan are a poor side but prove to be a banana skin. saying that, the chavs are a bunch of sissies who can't travel to cold north west, we're better equipped plus our defence has cut out a lot of unnecessary errors that blighted us against smaller teams. i would be very disappointed not to win.

ps: i did think it was a slightly ott angry response from what-a-hit-son, maybe he's just passionate. i wouldn't take it personally.

No offence mate and I hadn't seen your post underneath it but I stick to what I wrote in the most part.

You think that was angry, really? I'll leave it there then with you.


Fact is I expect more than a draw against Wigan at Wigan and would not be 'happy' with anything less. No reasoning can make me be 'happy' with that.

So what if our record there is not that good we won at The Emirates for the first time this season. So what if they have just drew against Chelsea, we have just beaten them twice. So what if they are hard to beat at their place, have you not seen us play away from home this season?

Aston Villa WON

Wigan    Win

Blackburn Win

Newcastle Win

Citeh  Win

Anything less than 3 win for the next 4 game are consider a failure.

November
Chelsea (A)     WON
Man City (H)    DRAWN

December
Fulham            LOSS
QPR                 WON
Aston Villa       WON
Wigan
Blackburns R
Newcastle

So far
WON 3, Draw 1 & Loss 1 (10 / 15 points)

We must extend our winning streak. Do U know that we have not won consecutively in the premier league more than 2 games this season?

Lets go. YNWA.

Wigan, Blackburn and Newcastle are all games that we should win.

Wigan is actually the one that worries me the most at present. We've not got the best record at their place and it wouldn't surprise me to see us come away with a 1-1 or 0-0 draw.

Let's hope I am wrong.

I'll be delighted if we can maintain a 2.0 average points per game.

The really tough fixture on the horizon is City away on January 3rd.

If we can go into that on the back of three wins, we'll have a real chance of ending their 100% home record.

Arsenal did well - let's go one better and come away with at least a point.

Think Wigan will be a tough game,But still think we can get 3 points there,Defo 3 points at home to Blackburn.Same againest Newcastle

Wigan    Win

Blackburn Win

Newcastle Win

City   Will be chuffed with a win be would be happy with the draw.

Newcastle game worries me and i expect us to win all games. But lads how often even this season have we had good results then we go drop points against lesser teams? Its something we have to stop. Killing off games is still a big worry for me. I no we had it fairly easy against villa but we still didnt take enough chances and didnt score from open play. Its worrying me tbh. Newcastle are missing a few at the minute i no but they have a good defensive record and a keeper who is on fire. We need to sort out the finishing sharpish or more points will be dropped.

8 points absolute minimum and would be satisfying. Expecting 9, would be chuffed with 10, and would walk around naked with a boner with 12.
