OK, so I've just finished inhaling a load of nitrous oxide and thought I'd ask the question...could we win all of our last 6 fixtures???
If we look back at our performances over the past month or so, it would be a firm 'not a chance'.
After beating Chelsea and Arsenal I was super positive and thought our run-in looked fairly straightforward apart from the Man City game - we were unstoppable...now I look at it and think we'll be lucky to get 8 points out of that let alone 18...
Can our players put in 6 performances of their lives - proper blood, sweat and tears...taking no prisoners.
Newcastle (a) - are awful at the moment, i'd hope we go there and win bu knowing our luck this will be the one game Newcastle turn up
Southampton (a) - sill in the hunt for top 4 and playing some nice football...a tough ask but do-able
Man City (h) - they're having a blip but that won't last...I'll be prepared for the Sergio Aguero show once again at the lane
Stoke (a) - never an easy game but one we should in theory win...always a battle.
Hull (h) - see Newcastle
Everton (a) - a tough end to the season, but they won't have Lennon and will hopefully have started their holidays
Also...If we did manage such a seemingly impossible feat...would 72 points be enough for a CL place - surely it would be a close run thing???
So my conservative prediction is WDLWWD...11 points. Anything more will be a bonus.
What say you?
