Next 7 Games
I completely forgot to do the "Next 8" thread from the start of the season. I always liked the idea of judging levels of performance over a period of time, rather than as one off games. Because of the amount of games left, I'm going to do the rest of the season in batches of 7, 7, 7, 7 and 8.
Remember, this IS NOT a prediction game. This is simply saying, from this batch of fixtures, what is the cut off point between good and bad. You could go one further and say what is the cut off between good, decent and bad if you want to, but basically you need to say the number that think is acceptable after this run of games.
So, our next 7 games are:
1. Aston Villa at Villa Park
2. Liverpool at London Stadium
3. Wolves at Molineaux
4. Man City at the Etihad
5. Brighton at London Stadium
6. Chelsea at London Stadium
7. Burnley at Turf Moor
I'll start. I'd be disappointed if we didn't pick up at least 10 points from those games. 11 or above is decent for me. If we manage 14 or more I think that's an excellent return.

Anything against the other three would be an absolute bonus.
It would be so West Ham to get 9 points out of these 7 games but get them against Chelsea, Liverpool and City.
I'd be disappointed with less than 10.
Newcastle A W4-2 / L2-3
Leicester H W4-1 / W3-2
Palace H D2-2 / D1-1
Saints A D0-0 / D0-0
Man U H L1-2 / L1-3
Leeds A W2-1 / W2-1
Brentford H L1-2 / Fulham H W1-0
Everton A W1-0 / W1-0
Spurs H W1-0 / W2-1
Both 17pts. The only difference is we beat Newcastle this season and lost to the team that got promoted through the play off
Last season
Aston Villa A W3-1
Liverpool H L1-3
Wolves A W3-2
Man City A L1-2
Brighton H D2-2
Chelsea H L0-1
Burnley A W2-1
10pts, GD 0
Last season GF 13 GA 11
This season GF 16 GA 10
Hopefully we've improved enough to pick up a point against Chelsea or City,
Or finally beat Brighton!!!
But I'd like to beat 2 of the lower teams away.
And good as we are now, I'd still be overchuffed to get anything out of the big 3.
How many Man Utd fans will be saying this :-D
You’re welcome.
(I’ve had a few drinks and I’ve watched the goals again)
My comment from November 8! It's the hope that does for you.
Happy with that.
