Defoe has been ruled out of their next three games...

Adebayor to start v us... he's awful. Keep on top of Bale and the win is there to be had.

Our record against them is terrible. And it gets worse as our team improves and is actually better than what they put out on the pitch. Last year was a classic example.

I expect the usual treatment and another loss.

I think we'll get a draw. Like brennan said we've gone there and got a draw a few times under moyes.
 
Can we all just agree that we'll tonk every side that we come up against and storm to third in the league.(y)

I'll owe Moyes a major apology and Davek will change his avatar to a pic of the ginger ninja for eternity!
 

Drawing vs spurs, arsenal, rs and chelsea and winning the rest would see us limp over the finishing line. Takes it out of our hands though.

Won't be good enough, a minimum of 68 points needed to even stand a chance. 3 wins a home is a must. There is no room for error with them. We then need a minimum of 3 wins from spurs, arse, fascists, ****e and chelski, with no more than 1 loss realistically. I am going for wins at spurs, sunderland and analfield, with the one loss coming at arse and a draw snatching it at SB. There u have it, unlikley but not impossible!

I'd say we would have to beat Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool for a CL spot. But knowing us, we'd [Poor language removed] it up at the last hurdle.
 

Think spurs arsenal and sland are wins liverpool is a lose and chelsea will be a draw and we will win all home games. That would put us on 70 points
 
The game against spurs is actually huge - bigger than I realised. Just looking a the current table if we beat them we are 3 points behind with a game in hand, and if it is by 2 goals we have a better goal difference. Winning that game in hand also puts us 6 above the team below us so 'all' we would have to do in that scenario is match spurs results for the rest of the season and we can't finish lower than 5th.

Surprised about that. If we hadn't sold the aways so well for all the other ones it wouldn't surprise me but it's strange that Arsenal sold out midweek and this hasn't, given how big a game it is.

I think we need 5 wins and a draw to have any real hope of finishing 4th. Even then it would be a tough ask.

Obviously we will be trying to win them all but if we did this then it would give us a real chance:

Spurs - Draw or Loss
QPR - Win
Arsenal - Draw or Win
Sunderland - Win
Fulham - Win
The ****e - Win
West Ham - Win
Chelsea - Draw or Win

If we do slip up and lose say 2 or 3 of them we need to make sure the rest are wins and not a mixture of wins and draws. Too many draws will prevent a top 4 finish this season I reckon.
 
The biggest game is always the next game in front of us.

No need to do projections or think about it really. If we dont win our next game it is all moot. (and you can say that every single week)
