In a previous article Why Tottenham Must Win on March 16th I noted that our points per game might be considered as 1.7, 2.0, or 2.3, depending on the games you decide should be counted. To cut a long story short, that would mean we would the season on 70, 74, or 78 points. If we finish on 74 points we would not be in the top four. If we finish on 74 points we might be in the top four, but my previous article suggest we would need to have won on 16 March for this to happen. If we finish on 78 points we would be in the top four comfortably. The previous article took an overview, but what of individual game predictions? I have given my optimistic (A) through to pessimistic (C) predictions in the table below, showing the predicted points tally for each scenario.
I have added the dates for the Europa League. If we get through this round we are likely to face Benfica and how I would love us to win that one. To do it we would have to be at full strength. Would that affect our PL match results? Would Tim play full strength in the EL? How would the EL scenarios affect the PL results?
Of course if this were next year, winning the EL would gain us entry to the CL the year after.
Please add your thoughts.
