Hi there, It's your local pessimist taking a realistic look at our remaining fixtures and thinking the worst, hoping for the best. March 3 v. Liverpool, home Our FA Cup hopes end here, I'm afraid. Liverpool are a better team, top to bottom. March 8 v. Everton, home Everton are surging and we are struggling. A loss seems likely. March 14 v. Villa, away We should win this match. 3 points. March 18 v. Munich, away Our CL hopes end in Munich. March 21 v. City, home This is a loss. April 5 v. West Ham, away A win. 3 points April 12 v. Watford, home This is a draw. 1 point April 18 v. Palace, away I could see us winning this. 3 points April 26 v. Sheffield, away Would be lucky to get a draw. 1 point May 2 v. Norwich, home Should be a win. 3 points May 9, Liverpool, away A loss. May 17 v. Wolves, home A loss. 14 points - is that enough to keep us 4th?
No, there are so many teams who have a relatively good run of form and are gaining ground. We need to get healthy quick so we can get some damn points.
I think it's a process for me. I use this board to get shit out there and I hope you guys bring me down. I never thought we could beat Spurs, for example. basically, we play down to worse teams. Plays up to better ones...but still can't get the result. its been such a weird year and the difference between 4th - 7th is very small.
Could you write something to the effect of "Corona virus is the new black death and football will never return" please?
