All we can keep doing is winning.

Doesn’t matter how pretty, but it’s in our own hands.

I’m looking at other teams around us, and Leicester finish with Chelsea and United Away and Spurs at home, all 4 of those teams could be directly involved with us.

Home form is massive here on in.

The game against Spam and the 2 against Villa are crucial
We cannot afford to lose any of those 3

This is one of those seasons that 72 points will give you 2nd place, we once finished with 72 points but 5th, as things stand, 66-67 points will give you 4th place, the good thing about us is we are not drawing lot of games, only 4 draws while United for example have 9 draws, we both won exactly 14 games, we lost 8 and they lost only 4.

With 36 points to play for, we currently have 46, we need 20 points at least to secure 4th, so if we win 7 out of the remaining 12 games we will end up with 67 points at least:

Games that we must win:
Burnley (H)
Palace (H)
Brighton (A)
Villa (H)
Sheffield (H)
Wolves (H)

Games we must at least get a draw:
Spurs (H)
Arsenal (A)
Villa (A)
West Ham (A)

Bonus games:
Chelsea (A)
City (A)

So we can only afford to lose 2 games from 12
I doubt that very much
There will be many a twist in the tail before the season ends
 

10 points between 4th and 10th.

So tight that a few bad results could see us drop quite a few places so we need to kerp grinding them out.

We play a few teams in and around us also so if we dont win these games, we cant lose them

I think we can lose 4, draw 2, win 7, puts us on 68 points. If we win our game in hand we’d be 4th so the teams behind us are looking at right now winning more than 7 of their last 12 games to get above that score projection. Chelsea look capable, some of the towers either don’t or have to come from further back.

We’re in a very good position. We just have to avoid a complete implosion.

That would give us 69 points!! If we win 8 draw 2 that will give us 72 points and should get us 2nd. 6 wins and 3 draws gets us 67 I think that will be enough for 4th. If our goal difference had been better 71 and 66 would have been good enough.

It's a good thing most have only got 11 games left! I reckon there'll be nothing in it between 3rd and 7th. Everyone in the current top 10 all have to play each other at least 5 of the games (RS only 3 of top 10, Ars/WHU 4 of top 10), so there's plenty of potential for slip ups. We can only hope most of these end in draws or City smash them to bits. We've got 7 games of the top 10 including the 2 against Villa (has that been rescheduled?), get those games right and we're well in the money.

2nd to 10th still possible but I now think the most likely places are 4th/5th with 4th being the favourite.

That’s the thing. If we win a few more on the bounce now we could be looking at 2nd place rather than 4th. Equally if we start losing we could be 8th or 9th before long. Season still well in the balance.

The prize on offer is huge. Hopefully the players can dig deep for the remaining games.

City, Chelsea, Man United, ..... (Any of Leicester, Everton, Spurs or West Ham)

Yeah we agree on the other 3 qualifiers. However I think unfortunately the RS are still the 2nd biggest threat after Leicester and Arsenal and Villa can't be ruled out just yet but will probably be out of it by the 30 game mark. Arsenal are gone if they don't get 9/9 Villa only need 7/15 but I can't see them managing it.

My predicted order
City
United
Chelsea
Everton
Leicester
Liverpool
Tottenham
West Ham
Arsenal
Aston Villa

Us or City to win FA Cup
City to win League Cup
City to win Champions League
United, Arsenal or Spurs to win Europa

I wonder what the odds on that all happening is??
