.....but which?

Pass.

9th option...3/1/2

57 points, me.

I’m thinking around 60 points....maybe 58 or 59. What an achievement that would be!

That would be an ecumenical matter

I'd go along with that.

Beat Leicester and I think that should be enough for European football. We will pick points up elsewhere.

4 home, 2 away.
D, W, D, W, D, W=12 points +49= 61 but I am an optimist.

Bloody hell LCP, were you at a loose end ?

BTW I'm going for 56 points !

67 points will be enough to finish above Chelsea, Liverpool get banned from Europe next season. Champions League for us.

2-3-1

Beat Bournemouth and Stoke
Draw Chelsea, Brighton, Leicester
Lose Arsenal

58 Points

You've just failed the audition to replace Ted Rogers.

We've just equalled the 17 points in the second half of a premier league which we've managed in the previous two campaigns under SD.

Be good if we can beat that by at least 8 points.

Leicester need two more wins than us so if we get 4 wins and a draw great.

Does he get dusty bin?

Win all 6, Man City have the most embarrassing crash in football history, Dyche gets manager of the year, we finish 5th, jobs a good un'.

Yeah, he can chuck his Daily Mails in it.

Amazing to think 3 years ago we played that relegation six pointer against Leicester when Taylor missed the pen and they went down the other end and scored.
Here we are with them coming again ahead of a six pointer if a very different kind. I feel a bit more confident this time, always felt Leicester we’re too good to go down that season.

63. What do I win ?

Part of the reason pundits say Guardiola wins it over SD is City's dominance in the league, if they only win it by 10 points then Sean might get more votes from other managers, plus he might get lower league managers backing him.

Pep might get PL manager and maybe Sean overall manager.

2-2-2
57 points has a nice ring to it.
Dreamland really from a few years ago!

67 for me.

Let's take Chelsea as well as Arsenal!

Lose 6

My pessimism got us out of the post November slump quite nicely

For me the two away games are toughest, Stoke fighting for their lives, and Arsenal are a good side.

Leicester Home genuine big game could go either way.

Chelsea we will beat them, A bunch of fancy dans who’ve dissapered up there own arses this season. Right up our street oppo like that.

Brighton depends on there situation if they are safe we will beat them.

Bournemouth we will beat them.

Absolutely! Thought it would only take 2 minutes and too much red wine was the inspiration.

55 for me

Actually, we've already played the last 6 games. 4 wins 1 defeat & 1 draw.

I'll settle for a similar tally over the next 6!

55 for me UTC

Only four points will be needed to retain seventh spot.

If three of those four points come against Leicester then you
may well be right dermot.
9 points ahead with 5 games to go.

So it's conceivable than one more point would suffice given Leicester
have got a pretty tough run in - Us (A), Southampton (H), Palace (A), West Ham (H), Arsenal(H) and Spurs (A).
Our run in isn't that much easier but at least we've got 4 at home.

Even one point against them would still leave us 6 points ahead with the same goal difference.
So another three points for us would leave Leicester having to get 9 points from their last 5 games.
It could go down to goal difference.

But I do believe that if we manage to beat them on Saturday then we'll really have
the 'bit between our teeth' and go on and get another 5/6 points at least.
And finish well in seventh place.

An achievement that will be remembered for many a year and probably our best
in 50 odd years.

Hope there's a full house on Saturday and the fans get fully behind the team
as I'm sure they will.

Can't recall a better time to be a claret.

60 points for me
