Am I being totally insane ?

Yes, we won't get top 4
Its worth keeping the belief.
We could do it, god knows how awful Arsenal and Chelsea have been at times but we won't because of or failure to convert chances.
BUY A STRIKER

We still require some other players to score.
Definitely not going to happen.
Bring Adam Morgan in to play ahead of Suarez. At least he knows where the net is and if he starts scoring then perhaps the mental shackles will be removed from the rest of our players.
Hey we can still dream, but I think that's all it is at the moment mate. Whilst it is still mathematically possible by all means, hope all you want. But deep down I think you know it's gone. We'd have to go on a winning streak like you wouldn't believe and even then it would still be a fight.
With expectations low though and the pressure of getting 4the all but gone who knows, maybe the red men could start winning games like we did the end of last season but it's a big big big ask. Very big. We've dealt with a lot this season and a lot of people will blame our bad luck. I'm sick of those kind of excuses though, we need to make our own luck.
4th is still possible on paper, yes so no you're not crazy. I just think you're looking at that paper through rose tinted specs is all
Thanks for your input mate #YNWA
''In the list of the fixture we have left we play Newcastle and Chelsea at home which will reduce the deficit between us.''
How does getting 2 Draws, reducing the gap?!
lets face it, that's the best you can hope for.
listen, you've far exceeded expectation from the rival fans point of view.
You won a cup, and are in Europy next term.
that's as good as it's gonna get. be happy.
i had you finishing 9th.... hmm, still a possibility.
Could arsenal lose 2/3 games in the next 5-6... Yes
Could we win all of ours... Yes
Of course its still possible
Possible.... always. as long as the maths stand.
Hey you can still win the title, right?.. It's Possible.
Probable, now thats a different beast...
You'll most probably fail in the quest for 4th.
How would you feel your season went if this is the case.
A Trophy - yay , 7th or lower - boo -
Vs Man Utd - Cup win - yay, 1 pt in the league - boo
a bit indifferent wouldn't you say....
a bit like us, if we finish 2nd and no Trophy, which is Possible.
but not very Probable.......
What are your opinions , am I being totally insane ? YNWA

10 point gap, 12 games left - you're fruit loops
Luck would have to take a massive swing both ways, remember we did totally outplay Arsenal, if we start bundling in a few who knows. I still believe, but a lot will have to go our way.

If football was so predictable that I had to believe all these folk telling me its over, I would stop watching, simple.
We watch because of what might be, the unknown.
We have Sunderland up next, surely that must put some fire into Carroll?? Watch him roar us on to 4th.
Honest
I don't personally think we'll get it.
But just think, Spurs and Arsenal are due their usual mid-season collapse, Chelsea have just sacked their manager and Newcastle are likely to slip up anyway, even if they have been fantastic this season.
Liverpool tend to do a bit better in the latter half of a season (take last season for example). It could swing our way... especially as we play half of our top 4 rivals in the coming weeks.
Alternatively, we could collapse completely and end up 20pts off 4th. Who knows?
If what i've read on here about no more money to spend is true then it doesn't bode well for the future of your club, defensively sound, decent keeper, creating chances but lord do you need a striker, i know i'll probably get deleted for this but the signing of carrol must be one of the craziest decisions ever taken, it was a huge gamble gone wrong, for that money you want proven quality, 20 plus every season, and that's why you won't make top four, which will ultimately cost you a lot of money.
