Would you take a point?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'm expecting a draw against Man United, defeat to Man City and a Villa win against Arsenal.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'll never take 1 point from 3 games that haven't been played, that's just pure defeatism.

There are points to be taken from all 3 as none of them look unbeatable. Nearly as important as the results we get though is the performances. Get some belief into the players that as a team they can compete with the better sides in the country and Arsenal.

[PaulTheVillan]

I think we'll get a surprise win in one of them. Not sure which one.

[Chipsticks]

I think we should expect to get 2 points. Anything below is slightly disappointing, and anything higher is great.

[peter w]

I'd expect something from the two home games. A minimum of 2 points.

[TonyD]

a win a draw and a loss.

[Captain Caveman]

After last season I would be happy if we just competed in these games without surrendering before we touch the ball

This

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Think we'll get one point and that will be the Arsenal game.

[Witton Warrior]

I'm expecting a draw against Man United, defeat to Man City and a Villa win against Arsenal.

Not far off my opinion Rudy - only I am "hoping" not "expecting" ;-)

[paul_e]

accepting 1 point from the 3 is basically playing TSM-ball - don't compete at all in the tough games in the hope that you'll save some energy and get enough points from the rest to get away with it.

We should be aiming for 4 as a minimum, same as with any run of 3 games all season.  4 points for every 3 matches will see you nice and safe in mid table with 50-51 points which should always be the minimum aim for a club like us.

If Celtic can beat Barcelona surely it's nine points in the bag.

[The Left Side]

Wouldn't it be lovely if we could beat Man citeh up there again, we could be their bogey team!

[Tuscans]

We can beat them all....its football after all.

[Shrek]

I think we will get 7 points.

Beat united, draw with City and beat Arsenal.

[l_mckay]

Think we can get 3 points,loose to the Manchester clubs and beat Arsenal
