We have travelled a long road of ups and downs together. Our lows have cuased us to weep and our highs...weeeell...in honesty, they weren't that high really. Just excuses to have a beer and laugh out loud...not really Earth shattering success was it/
Now we have 4 games to go and we are seriously challenging for a top 4 place. Seriously challenging for the CL qualification that only a short time ago we only dreamt of. Arsenal. Villa, Spurs and West Ham stand between us and a place at the same table as Barca, Madrid, Bayern etc. Too often our excitement has been driven by fear of our failures. Today our excitement is driven by our success.
We should relish it...celebrate it...we should be singing and dancing about it. Instead there are city fans who are actually moaning about it....It beggers belief.
Arsenal...LOSE (the rags beat Spurs)...2pts behind. We beat Villa...Spurs win...still 2pts behind...We beat Spurs and go 4th, we beat West ham and it is ours....the real start of something big.

Sorry people.

To have something to fight for and win, as opposed to a relegation battle which is more of a fight to 'not lose' or a outside shot at a Europa spot which never came to pass, to head into the last four games with something very tangible and very exciting to aim for, well how people can be less than teetering on the edge the entire time is beyond me. Oh yeah, and we're still favourites.

Okay, let's look at it this way.
1. Anything from the Arsenal game is a bonus, count on nothing and that's okay cause we don't need it.
2. We outplayed Aston Villa earlier in the season when we couldn't win away and they weren't running flat, they are now...at our place they are there fore the taking, mark this down as 3 points.
3. West Ham are very poor, I think even walmai would agree with that and we have shown we can put easier teams to the sword in recent times, mark this down as 3 points.
4. Which leaves us with the Spurs game, and all our frustration and anguish coupled with revenge we have been saving up for 29 years, I think this is our cup final, mark down another 3 points.
Now Spuds play the filth and us, zero points there, burnley and bolton...let's give them all six there.
Us in 4th, them in 5th, job done.

Even if Spurs manage a point against the scum and we lose to Arsenal i still reckon we'll sneak 4th on goal difference because we should slip a few past West Ham on the last day, Walmai might disagree but who gives a shit.

Spurs (LWDW) - 7 points
City (LWDW) - 7 points.
I don't disagree that you are going to murder us. However, I am hopeful that it won't matter to us anyway.

So far so good on my predictions. Though you could say the weekends games were the easiest to call as far as results were concerned. Villa is now a must win game for us. Anything less will be a disaster as i just cannot see Bolton upsetting Spurs at all. I really hope we go out to win the game at the weekend as this cautious approach is neither pleasant on the eye or any good for my ticker!
