Munich (A) Kane penalty is a given
Wolves (A) I hope we aren't too tired from Munich
Chelsea (H) Typically they seem to have found some form
scum (A) We really should win this but it's a derby
I do hope I'm very wrong on this.

Manchester City could do with losing a few. It would do them, and us, all the good in the world.Quote:

THings can go very wrong very quickly at the top of the table. But I am hoping they won't.
They may drop points at Spurs but I suspect the title will be done and dusted by then anyway.Quote:

We should not give ourselves a problem with top 4. That would be ridiculous, particularly as Spurs have to play all of the top 3 and Villa have to go to Anfield.
You lot really are unbelievable, must be the English in you. :-)Quote:

Have a word with yourselves chaps :hehe:
Not strictly true. Firstly, the Villa game on top of a bad 30 or 40 minutes against Bayern. It isn't just one game.Quote:

The mistake you have made is in assuming we are thinking the worst after a bad game. Trust me, we were thinking it already.
Oh, and thank you, by the way. I have been enjoying Zeppelin ever since you dismissed them. Wonderful, wonderful band. I had forgotten so many of the reasons why I love them so much :-)
:nod: I've given the reasons for my concern and think they're valid worries. I hope I'm wrong on all counts.Quote:

Exactly, top 4 first, then think about the title. We should have been 14 points clear of 5th. Now it's 11. 7 more points required from 6 games.Quote:
