Next 5 games

[Glenn R]

Swansea 3 pts. 
Stoke   3 pts
Aston Villa 1pt
Sunderland 3 pts
Reading   3 pts

13 points would be a good return from these games. I think Stoke will be tough to beat but may have to do the same as we did against swansea (yawn, but still yay) and Aston Villa improving with high confidence, we could lose this win.

Out of all those games I think - as you said - that Stoke will be the hardest. I do think, however, that we can beat Aston Villa on their ground. I believe maximum points are a possibility providing we don't get injuries and no sending offs. Also; if do get maximum points we could end up in the top 3.

Still fancy remaining unbeaten to the end of the year with
6 points to grab.

I think we will probably lose both of them. You heard it here first, and I am rarely wrong

You keep saying this, but could you please provide some actual evidence/situations when you were right? I am not saying that there aren't any, just that I can remember many occasions where the opposite was in fact true.

Well I was right about Stoke being tough to be beat, but still thought we would win that one. Got Aston Villa very wrong, but think Chelsea destroyed their new found confidence, making our job a lot easier, well done lads!

I will stick with my predictions for Sunderland and Reading. Sunderland will be the tougher game here I think but  are a team we should be beating nonetheless.

We are in agreement here Dimexi

Swansea 3 pts.       actual      3pts
Stoke   3 pts          actual      1pt
Aston Villa 1pt        actual     3pts. .. So far correct total of 7pts from 9
Sunderland 3 pts
Reading   3 pts

I still believe that we can win both remaining games, although we may draw at Sunderland. If that is the case 11 from 15 wouldn't be too bad, but I still hope to get 13 pts.

These are pure guesses you understand. I have been wrong in the past and I could be wrong again. No one is perfect.

OK, this is copied and pasted from another post I made

v Swansea 1-0
v stoke 0-0
v Villa 4-0
v Sunderland 1-2
v Reading 1-2

You, I am right up until now

You do make me laugh Mr B. Just wish it were true and your predictions were always that accurate. Wait am minute, no I don't otherwise AVB would have been sacked already and we would be in the relegation zone with less points than Reading . Although we could then all bow to your omnipotence. 

[Glenn R]

I predict we will beat Reading 5-0 and Sunderland 3-1 or 2-0

[Metalanimal]

We got 6 points from the last 2 games, dam happy with that couldnt ask for more!

I would really like to see us put more goals away from the chances we are making and make our possession really count! Yeap I am greedy want more goals!

Long as we keep winnning at this point I dont care how we do it!

Swapping the Stoke result with Aston Villa and I say that is pretty much bang on the money. Well done spurs a good run of games over the tough Holiday period. We are creating sooo many chances, which shows we are improving all the time and cannot be that boring to watch. What would we achieve if we had a top drawer finisher to help out Defoe?

I see Mr B's prediction is a little off...again.  

[dimexi]

Next 5 games are as follows with my predictions:

QPR (away)           - 3 Points (Please don’t let Harry come back to haunt us)
Man Utd (Home)  - 1 point
Norwich (Away) – 1 point
West Brom (Away) – 3 points
Newcastle (Home) – 3 points

If we lose to Man Utd  I think we may win against Norwich, however if we beat Man U we may then lose the next game in a game of would you bloody Adam and Eve it?

[Metalanimal]

I would love to see us spank QPR for 2 reasons, they deserve it and they have Tarrabt whom we should have never sold IMO so early on his his days with us!

[spursjoolz]

Just a re-cap before the next 5 game predictions

Swansea 3 pts.       actual      3pts
Stoke   3 pts          actual      1pt
Aston Villa 1pt        actual     3pts
Sunderland 3 pts    actual     3pts
Reading   3 pts       actual     3 pts
 
13 points from 15 No too shabby. 

The next 5 are a little more tricky.

QPR (away)              3 Points. Just to please Arry
Man Utd (Home)       1 point
Norwich (Away)        3 point
West Brom (Away)    1 points
Newcastle (Home)     3 points

total 11 from 15. thsi should keep us in the top 4 allowing for 1 or 2 slip-ups from Chelsea and the Arse

What has really impressed me of late is the way we have been playing. Dominating possession more and always looking threatening.
The team looks really balanced at the moment, also great to see that even though we have gone a goal behind in the last two games the group don't seem to panic..I guess that has come with the confidence gained from our recent run.

At the start off the season we really did not look convincing, look like we were lacking in goals with a soft leaky defence. It was frustrating too see as play a 4-5-1 formation especially at home against teams that came to defend, at times Defoe was so isolated and we just did not look like scoring. So kudos to AVB for switching from his preferred 4-5-1 to a 4-4-2. I think this has given Bale and Lennon more space as with both Ade and Defoe playing, defenders are more occupied and cannot double up on Bale and Lennon as often.

Sandro and Dembele have been excellent of late. Must admit,before he signed, I haven't seen much of Dembele before , apart from snippets on MOTD. I have been so impressed by how cool this guy is on the ball, he just seems to glide past opponents. The combination of these 2 just brings so much strength and power to our midfield.

Also great to see Bale and Lennon in great form. Lennon especially, as good as he is, in the past he could also be so frustrating with his final ball, getting into good position just to put in a c**p cross. Final distribution is much more consistent, he has always has done a good job in tracking back and doing his part in defending.

Would still like to see him run with the ball in to the box, rather than pushing it out wide so often.

Still long way to go this season. Finishing 4th this year will be a lot more difficult than last. Ars*nal and Chelsea are much better than last season at this stage, Also think Everton will push right to the end this year. So to finish 4th, we cannot afford to repeat the bad run off form in the 2nd half as we did last season.
