Just 8 games to go in the league,a cup semi-final and hopefully final are all that is left for the history books in this season away,I say this before the media frenzy continues about unfair home wembley advantage in the cup just thought it is worth reiterating that we have played away all season,Wembley isnt home,or a home from home so FA cup devalued idealists get over it,we dont complain that united or chelsea have spent about a billion pounds more in the last decade,so 20 something games at wembley isnt really a game changer is it in that context,especially when you have lost at your real homes to sevilla or bournemouth.
Right got that off my chest,here is what awaits this month,FA cup glory and Champions League next year all in the mix as we chase top 4 for a 3rd successive season.and a mere 11pts needed to secure a non-tottering day year again by the irrelevance down the road.
April
1st Chelsea (A)
7th Stoke 04 (A)
14th Man City (H) *sat evening FFS
17th Brighton (A)
21st Man U (A) fa cup semi-final
30th Watford (H)
And in the interests of pure laziness here are the fixtures for May,please remember Newcastle (H) is TBA after changing this for the swansea fa cup game.
May
5th WBA (A) last chance to go to hawthorns for few years!!
13th Leicester (H) last league match at wembley hoorah!!
TBA Newcastle (H) before 13th.
As usual notable fixtures for rivals
palace vs liverpool (normal banana skin this for them) everton vs liverpool,man city vs man utd,man utd vs arsenal,chelsea vs liverpool,
Plenty of good news for us in those games one way or other,but really a win this sunday will give us a comfortable gap in the race for top 4 and top london club,or a nervy few weeks trying to scrabble enough points to secure champions league at the new ground.And OFC Chas&Dave are ready with a new song for May,(they actually are),I say we need 9pts in april minimum (without the toon match),12 pts means woolwich can crawl back under their rock and we would be pretty nailed on top 4.At this time of year many biggus dickus are asking top 4 or FA cup what would you take,I say bollocks lets take both.
