The Premier League campaign - 2011/12

Captain

Hopefully we maintain third so that there are no complications with signings re: champions league qualification. Good wins against Chelsea and City at home would be a nice bonus.

Looking at Spurs fixtures - still close.
Swansea, Norwich and Sunderland are the only ones that immediately jump out as being tough.

We've got to beat Chelsea and City to be safe I reckon

I can see Swansea giving Spurs a run for their monye. Spurs will then drop points at Sunderland, Bolton, QPR, Aston Villa. Fulham, Norwich and Blackburn wont be easy for them too 😉

Don't see Chelsea as a threat now if we continue playing the way we does. Crucially we must win them on 21 apr though, that will seal it

Wow, Spurs have a piss easy run-in.

Grimson

Nice 3 points towards our title challenge.

Need Stoke to win against City.

They've QPR and Villa away too, both pretty late on. Going away to relegation strugglers that late on is always tricky, they'll fight for everything and the fans will drive them on.

Klaus

Bolton away is not an easy fixture for them either. Their run-in is easier than ours but their confidence is completely shot. Looks like they lost some players to injury today too.

Clrnc

This season would be absolutely great if we can finish 3rd considering how much we were made to suffer early on. Yes we still didn't win any trophies but we can hold our heads absolutely high and challenge next season.

Watching their game against City - think we can be assured god damn Stoke away is a dangerous fixture for us.

we can't let up at all. spurs may be low on confidence, but they will pick up some points and it's up to us maintain the gap.

i feel weird saying this, but i might prefer spurs to finish 4th ahead of chelsea. i don't fear spurs, but i do fear chelsea's money, and missing out on CL will hurt them and probably provoke abramovich into making more rash decisions.

y va marquer

I want Spurs to finish broken and as low down as possible.

Rex

Preferably we finish third, Chelsea 4th, Newcastle 5th and Spuds 6th. Chelsea then knocked out in the CL qualifier. Sweet. 🙂

YounGunner

12 points behind City. Can we catch them? If us and Man Utd beat them that takes it down to 6 points and they could lose that against Newcastle away, Sunderland and perhaps Norwich away on a bad day.

Rex

Man City have only dropped points in 8 of their 30 games this season. We are not going to catch them.

Clrnc

I really don't want United to win another title.

Ricky1985

Just want third, that will do nicely.

And the difference between us finishing 4th and Spurs finishing 4th, in terms of actually qualifying for the Champions League, is night and day. Late start back after the Euros, Modric likely leaving, new manager at the helm with Redknapp likely leaving - could easily fuck it up. Certainly would be a factor in a potential signing's mind.

It's been obvious for a while mate. Just gotta accept they've got a strong squad, with lots of experience spread throughout and a lot of winning experience. Next season hopefully we can build a squad that can compete.

Grimson

Hope we end City's title hopes and hand Man utd the trophy.
