Agreed, and actually I would say that extends to Liverpool as well. Three draws out of those games would be great in the quest for third.
I've had a rethink and now I want
3rd - us
4th - Saudi Sportswashing Machine
5th - Chelski
6th - Liverpool (already in Europa due to Carling Cup win)
7th - Arsenal (Europa place gained following defeat in cup final to Tottenham Hotspur)
More people think we will win than come second. Hmmm........

second. city falter and hand the title to their annoying rivals. we miss it by one point after drawing with spew-nited at old trafford.
It's up to us to make next weekend count
Liverpool away to United
Chelsea away to Everton
Arsenal away to Sunderland.
If we could just get something from tomorrow to take into it, we have a massive oppurtunity to possibly open up a bigger gap before the Arsenal and United games
Yes , tomorrow could be a massive indication of what we can expect
Another question is, where do we deserve to finish? On merit?
after we have a goal wrongly disallowed, having clearly crossed the line, denying us the win and hence the extra two points we required to win the league.
it hurts just typing it.
I was told that about Stoke away last year
I really feel that the next 3 league games are key. 7 points from 9 - however they come and I think that Chelsea will have too much to do in overhauling our lead in the battle for 3rd. Less than 6 points and it will be in the balance. Arsenal are going to have to go unbeaten for the rest of the season as well as winning 12 of the 14 left to have any chance of overtaking us so I am not concerned with them.
Can't see us winning the league, I just see too many dropped points to trouble City/United. We won't win at Chelsea, Sunderland or QPR imo and I suspect we might have a struggle to win at Bolton and Everton. However, fixtures like Blackburn, Swansea and Norwich at home are real bonuses at the back end of the season as well as finishing off with a struggling Fulham.
Chelsea's run in works in our favour as they have to go away to Liverpool, Arsenal and Fulham with Saudi Sportswashing Machine, QPR and Blackburn as their last 6 but I have a feeling that 3rd will go down to the last day with Chelsea needing to win and hope we lose against Fulham, which won't be happening.
