19 shots to their 4 More possession (red helped) 5 corners to nil
We didn't get it that 'wrong' at all......they scored a breakaway goal which should've been pulled back for foul on Reid.....they also got a 1 in a 100 penalty.
Liverpool have the best run in but have Europe league still to worry about
Us vs United & city vs Arsenal could be a big moment in the season
Arsenal have the hardest run in imo because Norwich mad.Sunderland have something to play for whereas the likes of southampton, Stoke etc while better are a bit in the "our season is over" frame of mind
Eski ;ok , Agree but I think 6th is more realistic those 14 draws have cost us an unbelievable league position this season , still a great season if we come 6th-7th imo.
I wouldn't put it past norwich sunderland and newcastle to take a point from one of those games. You look at relegation fighting for survival and top table teams to drop points. We have 3 mid table sides left if Stoke fall away in the next 2 who have nowt to play for and a direct rival for europe at home under the lights as last home game of the season.
Yes Mental and takes us up another level as a top team in with the big boys who we have not been scared to play football home or away against .
This will take some beating if we can get near to this sort of form in our new home next season , Slav has some big decisions to make on player recruitment in the summer I can see 2/3 going plus loan guys leaving which will free up some big wages exciting times , I can also see us making some signings very early on like we did last season we must get in there quick on the targets he wants before others come sniffing round. ;ok
Could come down to goal difference. If we win our last 4 games including man u we will be on 68 points. If utd win their remaining games except against us they will be on 68 points. Of course if Liverpool win all theirs they will be on 69. Its been a great season but expectations have grown with it such that we will be disappointed to end up 6th or 7th!
Last night showed great effort, created a bunch of chances, this squad has not given up and they're not going to let this season just fall away either.
19 red cards in Games we've been involved in. New PL home record of 15 consecutive games undefeated. Positive GD almost certain for the first time. Highest Points total almost certain in the PL. Beaten MCFC, AFC, LFC and EFC away in the same season, first time. Nobody has done the double over us (first time since 2001 I think - top flight only). First time we've had back to back pens scored since 2009. First away pen for 5 1/2 years. 3 Red cards rescinded. More key decisions against then any other team. 2nd highest number of defensive errors leading to goals. Carroll has more goals per minutes than Rooney. Only lost 6 league games, record at this stage in the PL. Seven 2-2 draws.
Any others?
What an absolutely mental season!! And it's not over yet!!
1 win = 8th place assuming we keep our GD quite high 2 wins = probably 7th place (assuming Man City beats Southampton) 3 wins = guaranteed at least 7th 4 wins = guaranteed 6th but could be 5th place on goal difference

Arsenal have a game in hand (on us and utd) with Villa, Norwich and West Brom at home to come, can't see them falling out either.
So fight is for 5th imo.
imo.
Arsenal have a fixture list to carry them to 3rd imo.
Liverpool could get 4th imo. I wouldnt be surprised if us and Liverpool took 4th and 5th.

next season , Slav has some big decisions to make on player recruitment in the summer I can see 2/3 going plus loan guys leaving which will free up some big wages exciting times , I can also see us making some signings very early on like we did last season we must get in there quick on the targets he wants before others come sniffing round. ;ok
Spurs and Watford away.
Its been a great season but expectations have grown with it such that we will be disappointed to end up 6th or 7th!
This is my prediction
Liverpool:
3 home (Newcastle, Watford, Chelsea), 2 away (Swansea, West Brom) - 15points
Total:69 points
Us:
2 home (Swansea, Manure), 2 away (West Brom, Stoke) - 9 if we're lucky
Total: 65 points
Manure:
2 home (Leicester, Bournemouth), 2 away (Norwich, West Ham) - 9/10
Total: 69 points
Arsenal:
3 home (West Brom, Norwich, A. Villa), 2 away (Sunderland, Man City) -10/11
Total: 70/71 points
Man City:
2 home (Stoke, Arsenal), 2 away (Southampton, Swansea) - 8/9
Total: 69/70 points
Last night showed great effort, created a bunch of chances, this squad has not given up and they're not going to let this season just fall away either.
For what it's worth, I can see us finishing 7th.

And dance all the way to tramway ave ;wahoo
2 wins = probably 7th place (assuming Man City beats Southampton)
3 wins = guaranteed at least 7th
4 wins = guaranteed 6th but could be 5th place on goal difference
I can't really see us getting better than 5th.
Liverpool 6th
and manure to lose the cup final ;biggrin
