What points haul would you be happy with over christmas?

[DanH84]

Including this weekends matches.

I'd personally be happy with a 10 point haul for man united over the xmas period of games, although there is no one (bar possibly everton) that we shouldn't be beating you have to expect the unexpected over this run and i think 10 points would by no means be a disaster. wouldn't want less than 9 though.

We took 3 points yesterday (Bristol R. (H)), have Hartlepool (A), Swansea (A), Oldham (H) Northampton (H) over the next 4 games.

I'd expect United to beat Hartlepool, Oldham and Northampton and would be happy with a draw against Swansea (who are currently joint-top one point ahead of us). So that'd be 13 points from 15.

Got Derby away then City away and finally Wigan at home. Expect nothing less than 3 points from both Derby and Wigan and although City will be a big game we need the win so i'll only be happy with maximum points.

 

[Ripper]

maximum points, can never be happy dropping points.

 

[FrankJH]

maximum points, can never be happy dropping points.

West Ham's a worry (as they did the double over us last season ) but Birmingham and Sunderland SHOULD be straight forward

Now the Toffees have been seen to it should be 10/12 points - crossing everything just incase though

I'll be happy with 7. Two home wins and a draw on New Year's Day. And I'll be even happier with 9.

 

[CliffyG]

Have Portsmouth, Everton and West Ham in our remaining 3. Quite a tricky Christmas period for us. We have 3 in the bag already and would hope we get 6 / 7 from the rest.

Chelsea away, Wigan away, Spurs at home.

Realistically, I see a loss vs Chelsea, draw vs Wigan, draw vs Spurs.

2 points I predict, but i'd like 4+

Wouldnt mind seeing Arsenal lose a game, Utd to go top with another win.

As for fulham..a win wouldnt be bad, although i cant see that happening vs chelsea .

I'd expect to win the home games. 6 points for me, though they're all winnable.

I would be happy with two home wins and a draw away at villa from those games, Villa not being as sharp as earlier in the season.

 

[HangTime]

9pts+ over the 4 games

 

[BFCTom]

Wed 26 H Stoke City
Sat 29 H Southampton
Tue 1 A Scunthorpe

4 points or more from those games.

Tuesday, 01 January 2008
Aston Villa v Tottenham, 17:20

I'd expect to win the home games. 6 points for me, though they're all winnable.

Knowing Spurs we'll concede a last minute equalizer to Fulham after dominating the game and having 89 shots on target.

Lose to Reading by a single goal... winner from a defender.

Then smash Villa 4-0 away.

Looking at the games and considering the current state of our squad we'd have to be happy with 6 points. We're equally capable of winning or losing all 3.

26 December
Sunderland V Manchester United (A)

29 December
West Ham V Manchester United (A)

01 January
Manchester United V Birmingham (H)

They're all teams I expect us to beat, we should be comfortable against Sunderland and Birmingham. West Ham were a bogey team for us last year, they beat us twice - although the last game we played against them was pretty much a reserve side.
