DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Well can we? 5 points behind 6 games to go and they have to come here !!!
EBS1980 Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 We have to go to them. its possible but I think the battle for 5-7th is what we are going to be involved in
Gambol2K9 Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 It's feasible if unlikely, would love to push them all the way though
Saint Charlie Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Not with our current performance levels as we would need to win all our remaining games most likely.
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 12 April, 2015 Author Posted 12 April, 2015 Pants so we do ( why the hell did I think they had to come to us )
Lighthouse Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Depends really. If City carry on playing this poorly for a few more games and Pelle's goal gets his mojo back then we could at least go there on the final day with 2 points of them and make things interesting. I don't think we're really playing well enough to do it but it's feasible.
Pastor Patrón Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 It's 100% down to Pelle and Tadic, if they refer their form it's doable if not no
Patrick Bateman Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Genuine question, but where would we gain the most prize money; a) getting spanked in the Champions League play off or, b) going straight into the Europa League group phase? I know we might get through the qualifying round, but there are some bloody strong teams that have to go through that.
Saxon Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 It's 100% down to Pelle and Tadic, if they refer their form it's doable if not no And Liverpool. They are a game in hand, two points behind, with Newcastle (quaking boots and all that) to play. I think if nothing else, it's going to be a really exciting end to the season. We are definitely still in it, if you were to ask Pellegrini after this match (if they lose) then yes, he would say we're a threat. But we're not likely to do it. But as Pastor says, Pelle and Tadic's respective forms will be crucial. If we end the season how we started... then who knows
beatlesaint Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Looking at their fixtures no we won't. They will get enough to secure 4th if not still over take United for third, even if they lose today.
cellone Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Toon are going to level lfc tomorrow. Yes. Yes we can. Will take a real turn of form and massive heap of luck.
Dark Munster Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 If, and it's a big if, we go to their place on the last day just 2 points behind, we'd have have nothing to lose and they'd be shitting in their pants. I'd fancy our chances in that situation.
doddisalegend Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Looking at their fixtures no we won't. They will get enough to secure 4th if not still over take United for third, even if they lose today. assuming the fixtures go to form....which of course they don't always do
Saint_clark Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Yes, we can. We need to win every game for it to be possible though.
Batman Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Yes, we can. We need to win every game for it to be possible though. Which we won't. Realistically
nta786 Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Genuine question, but where would we gain the most prize money; a) getting spanked in the Champions League play off or, b) going straight into the Europa League group phase? I know we might get through the qualifying round, but there are some bloody strong teams that have to go through that. Well Option A anyday as even if we get 'spanked' in the play offs- we go into Europa League group stage
Saint_clark Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Which we won't. Realistically Form changes, stop being such a f*cking miserable b*stard.
Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 City have shown an ability to lose to anyone away from home. We've a chance of catching them but it's bloody slim.
angelman Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 If you are really optimistic then why not ask if we can catch United? After this victory vs City, they will be 9 points ahead. Their remaining fixtures... Chelsea (A) Everton (A) WBA (H) Palace (A) Arsenal (H) Hull (A) Would need us to go on a run, and them to lose against Chelsea and Arsenal (very possible), Palace (not unrealistic), Everton (who knows which team is going to turn up) as I doubt they would lose against Hull or WBA. Overly optimistic but funnier things have happened Right, time for a lie down! But City have WHU (H) Villa (H) Spuds (A) QPR (H) Swansea (A) us (H) In reality, who is going to give them problems? Spuds might but depends who turns up on the day. Swansea can hold their own, Villa are resurgent (maybe!), QPR fighting for their lives. Us? I don't think so. But you never know.
glengarryleads Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 on today's evidence, **** yeah. I rate them splitting a win and loss between WH and Villa, drawing QPR, winning at nothing-to-play-for Swansea. If we can match their result v. Tottenham, we can still afford one more draw or loss out of the other four, and we are playing for the champions league on the last day of the season.
Cabrone Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Assuming Citeh lose.... It's not so much Citeh as our own form which is the biggest problem. We've been pretty flat and the goals have been hard to come by. If we can get our mojo back and put a run together then we are back in the mix but will we? We only need to be within 2 points of them to be able to take it to the last day, that's us getting 3 more than them over 5 games - deffo doable but can we get that run going?
hasper57saint Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Whether we can catch them or not I find it incredible that all we need is a win and a draw to reach 60 points.What an achievement for a team written off after the exodus.COYS
Bananaman Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 If you are really optimistic then why not ask if we can catch United? After this victory vs City, they will be 9 points ahead. Their remaining fixtures...

Spuds might but depends who turns up on the day. Swansea can hold their own, Villa are resurgent (maybe!), QPR fighting for their lives. Us? I don't think so. But you never know. So you feel that Spurs (below us in the league) could trouble them; Swansea (below us in the league) could cause them trouble; Villa (below us in the league) could cause them trouble; QPR (below us in the league) could turn them over but Not us? surely we are the most likely of all the aforementioned teams.
John Boy Saint Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 If the players fancy it, Why the hell not.............. Be a bit of a giggle giving it a go!!
brmbrm Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Form? What form? Citeh have lost 6 of their last 8 games. Keep that form going please.
Crab Lungs Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 They'll scrape a few results together now. Horrible, but them winning today would have given us a sniff. United have handled their big run of fixtures brilliantly.
Turkish Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 They'll scrape a few results together now. Horrible, but them winning today would have given us a sniff. United have handled their big run of fixtures brilliantly. What with the mess we're in , the downward spiral we're on we never had a chance did we.
stknowle Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 I will eat my hat if we finish above City. It ain't going to happen. We've been brilliant this season but 5th at the absolute best is where we will finish. If I am wrong I do not possess a hat anyway so happy days.
Crab Lungs Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 What with the mess we're in , the downward spiral we're on we never had a chance did we. Still trying that eh? Fk me you're boring. Worst internet bully, ever.
saint si Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Jay Rod to make his return from injury at the Etihad, coming off the bench to score the winning goal that secures 4th spot...
Whitey Grandad Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 I'd like to think so. Until next weekend, at least.
Turkish Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Still trying that eh? Fk me you're boring. Worst internet bully, ever. Internet bully v most inaccurate ITKer of all time on any forum
Crab Lungs Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Internet bully v most inaccurate ITKer of all time on any forum I think you'll find I've been very accurate in the past. Happy to say I wasn't accurate this time.
Jack Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Pretty amazing to be talking about this with 6 games to go. We'd pretty much have to win our next 5 to give ourselves the chance on the final day, and we're not playing well enough for that sort of thing IMO. Still, if we can run city close then we've got a great chance of finishing ahead of Spurs and/or Liverpool
Turkish Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 I think you'll find I've been very accurate in the past. Happy to say I wasn't accurate this time. Months and months of 'just you wait, I've got something to tell you, when you hear your eyes will water' Then when you finally told us you were right, everyone's eyes were watering, laughing at you.
SNSUN Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 As long as we secure Europa, I'll be happy. Small team mentality perhaps but it will be a big step forward for the club and give fans the chance to travel to Europe. Reaching the Champions League would be dreamland, especially as it means finishing above "big clubs", but I can't see it happening. That said I would love to at least be still in the running in a few games time, properly but the wind up the skirt of the teams that are traditionally known as "bigger" than us.

It's the internet mate.. don't think anyone cares THAT much.
Spitz Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 It's the internet mate.. don't think anyone cares THAT much. Children stop it, please I'm just excited that with 6 games to go we are even talking about the possibility of catching City for 4th place without it being some weird dream.
Baird of the land Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 I don't see it happening but it would be marvelous if we could get to situation where we were 2 points adrift of them going in the final game of the season versus them.
Dr Who? Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Which we won't. Realistically Form changes, stop being such a f*cking miserable b*stard. I agree, that we will not win all our remaining games. If we do it will be a club top flight record of winning 7 games on the spin. We have only won 6 on the spin twice! Something to aim for, but we will not!
View From The Top Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 I think you'll find I've been very accurate in the past. Happy to say I wasn't accurate this time. Wasn't accurate? I think you were a little more wrong than "wasn't accurate".

Of course I don't think we will - I've been supporting Saints for the best part of 40 years and have an in built self-deprecating pessimism. Edited 12 April, 2015 by angelman
Dr Who? Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Beat Stoke on Saturday Leicester beat Swansea Fa cup Arsenal beat Reading Liverpool beat Villa Pretty much in Europe next season.... Anything more come the last day will be a bonus.
Turkish Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 It's the internet mate.. don't think anyone cares THAT much. Hang on a minute pal, I thought your revelations were going to make people's eyes water? Surely you cared and through everyone else did as well.

Villa (even at home), and visits to Spurs and Swansea could all take points off them. We only need to win one more than them over the next 5 matches to go there with the chance to beat them to come 4th (assuming Liverpool and Spurs finish below us). If we can win TWO more than them we might even go there only needing a draw.
