VillaForever1970 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 We’re not mathematically safe!I’m saving celebrations till hopefully Norwich don’t win tomorrow.We could ship 12 goals in our last two games remember! If there was dislike button, I would click it. There is no way Norwich will claw back a goal difference that is -17 worse in only 2 games. Do you think they are going to smash champions league teams Chelsea and Arsenal 5-0. Get real.No i don’t, but i didn’t think Sunderland would beat City.I just want it set in stone so this god forsaken season can be put to bed.

I just want it set in stone so this god forsaken season can be put to bed. And they didn't. (not away anyway). An unexpected result like Sunderland winning away at Chelsea and United is one thing but Norwich smashing teams like Chelsea and Arsenal 4-0 AND us losing to City and Spurs by huge margins is so ridiculously improbable.

VillaChris Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 As I've said go to the bookies and they'll happily give you odds of about 1000-1 given how improbable it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that did happen it would most probably result in West Brom or Hull going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted May 4, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) I think people should stop posting on it, so it would disappear from the top of the first page. What do you think? Edited May 4, 2014 by AVTuco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted May 4, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Monte Carlo probability of going down: 0.0% (as noted, it's still mathematically possible, but the chance is less than 1 in 2000) Edited May 4, 2014 by leviramsey 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 It won't happen but I'd like Norwich to beat Chelsea today just to make it interesting going into the last game of the season. Strange to think if that were to happen then Hull could be in danger. Our safety should be confirmed later today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Norwich have a good chance of getting a result against Arsenal. 4th is tied up and it'll be a week before a cup final, and we all know how important they're seeing that trophy now. Norwich's problem is that Chelsea are still in the title race (and out of the CL, so no distraction there). They will be going for it in the hope Man City and Liverpool slip up. If Norwich win today I can see them getting 6 points needed. Can't see a 17 goal swing, but it might make things interesting for west Brom and Sunderland.

Popular Post StanBalaban Posted May 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2014 Even if Norwich achieve the virtually impossible, and we lose heavily in both games to cancel out the GD, West Brom, Sunderland and Hull would also have to finish above us too, in order to go down. We are safe. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Yep. Think we are safe. Can't see Norwich winning 4-0 away to Chelsea and home to Arsenal even though I can see us losing 5-0 and 4-0 in our next 2 games.

useless Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 If Norwich were to somehow get two wins then looking at the fixtures I actually think Hull would be the most likely to go down. If not today I think we'll confirm our safety on Wednesday with a good pont away to CIty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Perhaps but in reality Chelsea will probably thrash Norwich today. Which won't be so bad as at least it would confirm our safety mathematically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamsonwoodVillan Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I'm sorry if this sounds petty but I will actually enjoy it today if Chelsea give Norwich a thumping. Keeps the title race going to the end, but mainly the way McNally bad mouthed us over Lambert, and their treatment of a good football man in Chris Hughton. I would enjoy seeing them go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Close thread. Norwich are not going to beat Chelsea 10-0 today and then walk over Arsenal. Stop flapping guys its done. Hopefully next season and beyond we won't need to open a thread like this ever again. Maybe a thread like "could we make Champions League"!
