Target for First 7 Games

Post by Tals-biggest-fan » Fri Aug 12, 2011 9:19 pm

QPR , Man City, Liverpool, Scum, Norwich, Arsenal, Chelski...


Easily the hardest opening to a season I've seen in a long time....

realsticly how many points could we get... I think we could get atleast 8.... wins against QPR and Norwich and draws vs Arsenal and Liverpool maybe now that both Cesc and Nasri are on their way out we could even pick up a win.

Agreed.

With that run I'd be happy with a point a game average.

Hard to tell as we haven't seen the team in real action yet, nor do we know what new additions are to come.

Realistically 6. Anything over that would be happy.
Would settle for 4.

We have to think and play to win them all. We won't, of course, but that has to be the thinking. We may surprise ourselves.

Less than four and I will be worried, more than 6 and I'll be over the bastard moon!

The important part is to keep our chins up even if it goes a bit GY.

Remember, its 5 tough games out the way in pretty sharp order.

They're probably the right time given the injuries we have. If there were games I'd want Pea-head to miss, they'd be the very tough ones. If we do better than Sammy Lee did in points per game we'll be reet. People get hard up about it as if it were ever different, but as ever we rely on teams being shitter, and there are at least 5 who definitely are.

Think if we get 4, I'd think that was ok-ish.

Could see us with 2 or 3.

Anything better than 4 would be good.

Bottom 3 last season after 7 were

Wet Spam with 5
Wolves with 5 and
Liverpool with 6

Season before was 7, 5 & 3

I'd be surprised if either season, any of the teams had a tougher first 7 games than we have this year.

Really need to beat Norwich and QPR, then hopefully a draw against the Arse. The scum and citeh are gonna take some stopping this year, while chelski usually beat us, so 7 would be great

42 points and six of theirs crippled for life.

After today; 13 points from those games. We go on to be the team who plays most games without defeat, we threaten the Arsenal's record. Then lose 5-0 in the final game of the season. We make the simpions league, confounding all who watch, and all we play; finishing an unlucky 2nd in prem. Real Madrid offer £38,000,000 for Muamba, which we turn down. I feel a wind of change blowing. It's gonna be our year.

woot, three-quarters there already.

Or, another way, a thirteenth of the way to 39pts and probable safety.

Ah, I'm not the only who thought 36 to go... :D

I'd be content enough with 6 pts from 7. Any more is a big ask.
