I'd be gutted if we only won half of our remaining games.
JOKE, Lewis (BBL), I knew what you meant and agree with you.

I agreed with you earlier, you posted "my mistake" and I agree that you were a mistake.

That's the way it has been eversince the introduction of 3 points for win. In past five seasons the points needed for 4th spot has been between 67 and 76 points, the trend being that the gap between 4th and rest is evergrowing. 03/04 Liverpool finished 4th with only 60 points but those days are behind us.
I'd say around 70 points will be needed for 4th spot. 114 points are there to be taken before the season kicks off. So we could afford to drop roughly 44 points. That would be about 8 losses and 10 draws. Meaning we'd have to win about 20 games. Give or take.
Last season Arsenal finished 4th with 72 points. Their record was 20W 12D 6L. To put that in perspective of how times have changed, rags won the title 06/07 season with 75 points, 21W 12D 5L.

The only thing I am concerned about so far is none of the top 4 have their midfields overrun the way ours was for part of the arsenal game and during most of the derby.

Don't get me wrong mate, I'm not saying we're untouchable and are gonna sail into the top 4, in fact I don't think we will finish top 4 this season, definately next though.
My post was in response to the way the question was asked. "How many more games can we afford to lose" sounds as if they are worrying as we have lost a few games already and one or two more could fuck our season up or something. We've only lost one so far, which equals top of the league's record. Its a negative question, no need.
And I think with Johnno and Vinnie coming back, the midfielders are gonna up their game as there is a fair bit of quality competetion for them starting spots, so we'll be fine.
