Danwichmann Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 After the Arsenal game we will be exactly midway through the season. After 18 games played so far we are on 35 points. So how many do you expect us to finish the season with? I think we should be aiming for around 70-74 but in truth I expect us to drop of the pace a little at some point and think we'll finish in the mid 60s somewhere.

kurtsimonw Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 65-69. I think we'll remain fairly consistant, just not pick up as many points vs the big 4 in the 2nd half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainer Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I think 70 - 74 points.. Be interesting to have a look at where that would get you in previous seasons. Wonder if MON, will buy a midfielder in Jan to cater for Salifou then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Realistically 65-69 points but if we carry on as we are 70 is easily attainable. Depends on whether we have a bad run (maybe not as bad last year) as we always seem to have in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reykjavik Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I believe 65-69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I also think 65-69 points. I am sure that I heard somewhere that MON has never won a Premier League game in March! I just hope that isn't the case this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 75 points which will bring us 4th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa_shere Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 62 points, reckon we'll finish 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 I think 70 - 74 points.. Be interesting to have a look at where that would get you in previous seasons. 70 /71 would have got you 5th last year, Arsenal were on 72 so 73/ 74 would have got you 4th. Those couple of points make a big difference! Most of the previous few seasons 70+ would give you a good shout at having Champions League football. Right now it's hard to see Liverpool getting that many, although I wouldn't rule it out yet. Also, you can't discount Spurs or Man City this season which makes it difficult to guess how many points are needed for a top 4 finish. Personally I think it'll still take over 70 points, and I'm not convinced we quite have enough to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on whether we have a bad run (maybe not as bad last year) as we always seem to have in a season. In fairness that's not just us, most teams tend to have some sort of bad run. The difference is the really successful clubs have shorter bad runs and still manage to pick up a few points during them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 65-69 (I think we will be 5th) I still think the "top 4" historically will finish there again....Yes Liverpool have dropped a lot of points but when playing well they as with all the "top 4" have the ability to go 15 games unbeaten...spurs, city, us as yet dont seem to have the ability to put runs like that together..

dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I want to hear from the person who voted 80+!! It's not that nuts. Beat Arsenal and it's only another 42 points. If we can gain some consistency against the weaker sides, try to recapture our away form from last season than it's possible. After last season I wouldn't like to take a fine guess really. Anywhere between 60 and 75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpaywasawesome Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I voted for 75, I\'m cautiously hopeful that we can go on a good run in the second half of the season, with DOWNING getting back to fitness and Bouma almost match ready, providing us with more depth. I\'m positive about the future. We all have to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
