So I've heard.

 

Still, surely worth keeping an eye on seeing as they are only 2pts above us?

 

And 6 points bave the relegation zone with a vastly superior goal difference so make that 7. West ham won't go down, had some have been saying for months.

6 pts at the moment with a worst goal difference than us. They are in the mix. Some difficult games to come as well.

A worst goal difference than us by one goal! 10 better than Wgans and 6 points above them. They won't go down.

Think it's worth keeping an eye on. No harm in that, surely?

 

Also, what does your crystal ball say about our chances?

Home to Man Utd on Wednesday 17th April. Wigan also have to go to West Ham.

 

They also have to go to Man City, Everton, Liverpool and us, with home games against Newcastle, Wigan, West Brom. Final day v Reading at home.

 

Yep, they are as safe as Man Utd and not in the mix at all.

The probably need 5-7 points from 9 games. They have winnable some home games including Reading on the last day who will be down by then so I would say there is a great chance of 3 of the right there.

 

We'll be fine if we win our winnable games at home and pick up points at Reading and Sunderland. I'm confident we can get the points we need and be safe before the Stoke game. I think the final relegation position could well be decided by who wins at the DW on the last day.

Pretty fair assessment to be honest. I just feel if they slip up against West Brom next time out, they could be right in amongst it, especially if the teams around them pick up points. After that, it's a pretty horrible run in with six pointers and teams all chasing for something.

 

Reckon we need 9 points. We should have enough for that looking t the last 8 games.

West Ham can stay up with maybe four more points from nine games. They could stay up without winning another single game.

 

Them getting less than that would represent one of the worst runs of form in all time Premier League history.

 

Yeah, right in the mix they are. Up to their necks in it.

 

This forum is breathtaking it its utter retardedness.

Be careful mate, the mods are back on it with infractions. I got one today for daring to suggesting people were talking Bol locks by saying Martin O'Neill wasn't the crap manger he was being made out to be.

Nope, you got one for insulting in a troll like way. I appreciate that 'feeding' you is off-topic, so I won't post further on the matter. Continue on PM if you want to discuss.

It's against United :-)

Thanks. We'll have to see which Utd turn up - the one that has a hang-over from being champions elect or the professional one, here to win football matches.

 

Also, I cannot see four teams below them suddenly all getting better results than them. It'll be incredible.

Er, why is it retarded to think that West Ham COULD go down? They are 6 points clear. A margin that COULD be wiped out in 2 games.

 

Doesn't sound that retarded to me.

It was an infraction for 'derailing a thread' when i replied to a post claiming O'Niell had done nothing as a manager. How is that derailing a thread? They were rewriting history, not an insult, stating a fact. Just because you might like it doesn't make it untrue.

I'll tell you what COULD happen. A team who throughout the entire season have been in no danger of going down whatsoever will continue to be in no danger whatsoever and not go down.

West Ham staying up is as certain as Man U winning the title....

 

Slight variation on what I said originally many weeks ago but happy to go with that one now. West Ham will be playing in the Premier League next season.

Still looking very tight on that last spot. We are by no means out of the mix.

 

Wigan can get within a point of us if they win their game in hand. Teams above us could easily get pulled into that final relegation spot.

 

Have to say, Reading were f**king mental to get rid of McDermott. After the way he pulled the Championship out of the bag last year, he's the only bloke I'd bank on to get them onto the sort of stupendous winning run required for survival. I think they are doomed, as too are QPR.

Agreed. That last minute winner for Wigan may have been a minor irritation for us, but I expect it gave forth to much wailing and gnashing of teeth on the boulevards of Reading and Shepherds Bush this afternoon.

We need 9-10 points to stay up and I think that we will do it.

 

Just looked at the run in. If I was a Sunderland supporter I would be very worried. They have a horrible run in - can easily see them losing their next three. We go there for our last away game. QPR and Reading look gone.

As above, Sunderland have very good reason to be concerned. Of their last 8 games, 5 of them are against United, Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton and Spurs. And they also have Villa away which will be a huge game. People keep telling me they have enough, but I am yet to be convinced. They were utterly dire today, against 10 men for over an hour. The teams around them are picking up wins, whilst they are yet to win in 7.

I still think anyone from Stoke downwards could still be relegated. A good win for Fulham against Spurs has probably sealed them another season in the Prem. Some people are saying it's 3 teams from 6; I think it'll be Reading, QPR and one from the bottom ten in the table.

 

I agree with the above - Sunderland are looking very suspect. Wigan are masters of getting out of trouble, I think we have enough about us to look up rather than down, and Norwich and Newcastle shouldn't have any worries either. Stoke usually grind results out annoyingly, as do West Ham. It'll be an interesting couople of months.

 

Incidentally I've just been looking at other teams' forums. The contrast between QPR's and Reading's is very strange - despite being on the same points, Reading fans are full of acceptance of relegation, whilst QPR fans are whooping and claiming they'll staying up whilst reciting Arry's "5 more wins" philosophy. Deluded.

I think those QPR fans are no more deluded than you are if you think Stoke have any chance of going down. They would have to lose pretty much every single game from here on in. Not going to happen.

Best price 25/1, worst 12/1.

 

But they are in no danger. Hope that's what Fat Sam tells them too.

 

Hilarious.

 

The funniest thing is if we were in their position, none of the mugs on here would be talking about us going down.

 

This forum has been dribbling about us finishing tenth when we were scratching about in 17th, but another club who actually have been rock solid mid table every single week all season are going down after all.

 

Utterly clueless.

Spot on. Chelsea will suffer. Reading will whip us.

 

Reading & Sunderland are kinda non footballing teams. Away from home they are very much park the bus outfits.

 

But with them in the positions they are (for Sunderland read could be) then playing them away means they will have to go out looking to win. That could play into our hands. It's the Park the Bus teams we have trouble with, so getting points in both those games is a good possibility.

Chelski will be all out to win they want that 3rd spot to ease the whle CL qualification stress in pre-season so could help...

 

Although they wanted the win in the FA Cup & look where that got us.

Agree, Sunderland should be concerned. They looked like they had turned the corner with their run around the time they beat us, but they have slipped dangerously in the past Couple of months. We could be six points ahead of them after the next four rounds of matches. Wigan are the jokers here, they have enough games against the teams around them to make it very interesting.

I think we will be as erratic as usual for the rest of the season, but still good enough to get another 8 or 9 points which will see us safe. I've got a feeling that one team is going to sink like a stone. I'd LOVE it to be West Ham...but have a feeling Norwich are going to be the ones. it's whether both Villa and Wigan can get enough points to catch them. If Norwich lose their games to both of those it could be a nail-biting last couple of games. Would be interesting if all 3 go into the final game on the same points, especially as Wigan will be playing villa and a draw could see them both stay up

Stoke won't go down, we might need them safe with nothing to play for, same with West Ham, would be confident of two home wins there considering both are awful away from home.

 

QPR fans confidence is odd, for a start how many teams are winning 5 from 8 games at the moment?

 

They have Arsenal at home, Everton and Liverpool away in their 8 remaining, tough to get any points from those as all those teams will be fighting for a European slot, so really theya re going to have to win against Fulham away, Wigan home, Stoke home, Reading away, Newcastle home. Possible I suppose but all 5 I doubt, plus they will have to actually go to places and try and win, not just sit 9 behind the ball. They showed on Saturday they are poor defensively if the game is a bit more open.

 

QPR and Reading are down. Stoke and West Ham have enough just. It's now between us, Villa, Wigan and Sunderland for the last spot.

 

We need 3 wins from an ok run in, the only games that would be zero pointers are Chelsea home and Spurs away, but after our result on Saturday and Fulham's yesterday you can't rule it out.

I said they could be relegated - mathmatically they can - I then went on to debunk why they wouldn't.

 

We have goals in us, which is perhaps why we won't go down - but I've just seen Sunderland's fixtures again - they need their big players to really step up.

 

Villa are also surprising me at present - I have them to go down with Reading and QPR but Saturday's win for them was massive - and Benteke as their best player has really stepped up with their goalscoring, and they've looked better since young Sylla has come into the team. Fair play to Lambert if he keeps them up.

Look at goal difference, it's always uncannily accurate at the end of the season. On that basis we are safe.

My main worry is the unexpected- injuries to critical players and dreadful refereeing decisions and there have been plenty of those this season.

Just imagine getting the dreaded ****** auditioning for a lucrative Specsavers advert

Insert your own candidate in the **** - no libel risks here!

An interesting factor is who still has to play each other as those games could be a win win for us.

 

On that basis I think only having one game that can benefit our fellow strugglers puts us in a good position.

 

That, coupled with the fact we have been generally playing well without getting results (as opposed to being a car crash every week) is a reason to be hopeful. Reading Away is a crucial game for us.

With the next 4 games of

 

March 30: Manchester United (H)

April 6: Chelsea (A)

April 13: Newcastle (A)

April 20: Everton (H)

 

I can see Sunderland not taking a point from any of those. They really are in the battle now, I would be confident of us finishing higher than them.
