I'm worried about 4th place

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

not surprised by this draw today, but how many gifts are we waiting for!?!?!

newcastle home-ok fine but another totenham slip up, i doubt it.

arsenal away seems more daunting the more i see matches like this.

that ben arfa goal sums up all that we are are missing.

We should be 4th if it wasn't for the refs

No point talking about debatable referee decisions. It happens every season!

What I would say is we would have been in 3rd(or in Top 4 at least) had we not concede so many goals especially the late ones from winning position!!

I'm less concerned now than I was. Ok the geordies have now overtaken us but we have the yids down to 2 points now and of the three teams we have the most experience of these run ins, albeit usually title run ins.

We would be 3rd if we didn't lose to Aston Villa and WBA and drew against the teams like Wigan, Norwich and Fulham

Exactly crazy results have cost us..last minute goals definatly cost us!!

And its annoying to look back and think 'if only' because you kinda realise how many random points we dropped and its a bit oooooooooo crap!

[FranklyFrank 103]

I am feeling much more confident after the tottenham result. If we can beat newcastle I feel we have a chance for 4th.

Wigan have done us a huge favour now. We must capitalise.

Furthermore, the FA have confirmed that sixth place with now be a Europa League spot. Hopefully Newcastle will be willing to settle for less.

To be honest i would not be gutted if we miss out on the CL spot. It would be a shame. But the main reason the club look to the CL is from a financial aspect. It would not be the worst thing in the world to take a season out the CL, use the UEFA cup to try new things, young players ect. and built a new team that we are crying out to do and focus on the league for next season.

The result against the handbrakes will "spur" us on. Give the pub team that is Barca a horsing tomorrow night. The Arse at the new library will be a nervy one for them now after losing to Wigan as they can be caught, and we have better players than them. Finish the job off against Barca away then we are set up for the run in.

Terry, Lampard, Drogba and Cole were class against the handbrakes. Sheer class.

Yeah but you just know we won't capitalise. We've had so many opportunities to grab this race for third by the neck and each time we blow it. If we'd have just beaten Tottenham in the league we'd be in such a favourable position at the moment with Arsenal this weekend and Newcastle coming up. Sigh, hindsight

[Laylabelle 9,300]

We've had so many chances to go level with Spurs but every time they loose they go a bit crazy and do the same!

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Still don't think we could get to fourth. Not unless we can get atleast 13 points from our five remaining games.

[Laylabelle 9,300]

Yeah chances of that with the games we have pretty damn slim........unless Arsenal's shit stage is starting now which help us on sat

[Jase 43,479]

As much as I have enjoyed the magnificent cup wins under RDM, I can only wish we can swap those wins with 3 points in the league.

[Henrique 9,133]

Our table is really tough, Liverpool, Newcastle and Arsenal in the remaining 5 games of the season, and you put 2 Barcelona's games and a FA Cup in the whole thing.

I dont think we will make it. Its really sad because getting into a CL semi-finals is really special, its been 3 years since our last one and wanted us to get into another one next season.

I just hate AVB and the board, because they fired the stupid manager just too late. I also dont get along with the people who were supporting the guy until his final moments.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

With win over Arsenal, everything is possible.

If we beat barca tomorrow, everyone playing against us will shit their pants

[Waterfall 893]

cautiously optimistic at this point.
