Point(s) expectations for next two games?

[quote user="......and Smith must score."][quote user="lake district canary"]Weird. We have beaten all of MU, Arsenal, Spurs at CR and Man City away in the last three seasons we were in the pl - so why should we expect to only draw or lose these games?  Liverpool is the only team we haven''t won against for a  few years - and they are not the same team as they were.   These are home games.   Where is the belief?? [/quote]There''s unrealistic expectations - as adopted by LDC and a minority of others - and there''s realistic expectations for the rest of us.Still, good to see Morty and LDC singing from the same hymn sheet for a change...[:D][/quote]

So in that case, if we by chance win these two games it will be beyond expectations......or maybe it would be a sign that we are actually doing what we set out to do?

[quote user="Indy"]I would pay £10 to PUPS to see you do that Bor..........come on City![/quote]Only a tenner ? [:(] If we get six points in the next two games I''ll happily donate £25 to PUPS and if Bor carries out his threat/promise I''ll whack it up to £100.Y''know I''m feeling so generous and if it makes it easier he can choose a pint of any body fluid or mixture thereof....[:^)]

[/quote]Oh you[;)]I think we can beat Liverpool, and maybe get a point against Spurs. Thats reasonable realism Smithy, 6 points is just blind optimism.

LDC - Meant to add that I agree achieving two wins in two games is what we''ll set out to do.I hope we do but setting out to do it and actually achieving it are two rather different animals.

OK, I''ll match that, I''ll even allow Bor to change it from bodily fluids to a pint of hot chilli sauce if he wanted.
