kidlewis Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I have done the predictions to the end of the season twice. Both came out with 34 points being enough. If we are on 31 points after swansea then beat QPR, we would need two points (i believe) to be absolutely safe. More than 36 would mean someone in addition to Burnley going on a run and beating a few teams. I cannot see QPR, Hull, Sunderland doing that at the moment. Also Everton would need to win today as they have some tricky ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Burnley last game of the season could be very fruity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Southampton's point is good for us as they'll feel they've still got something to play for next week against Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 15, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2015 Could do with a Newcastle win today too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Newcastle v Arsenal - Ideal: Arsenal Win im sure that game is irrelevant now as well. Newcastle and Palace are out of it for me I'd like to keep as many teams as close to us as possible. We won't likely catch Newcastle, but a nightmare run for them might just about keep them nervy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayEm Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I think it's mostly up to us now- if we do what's expected we'll stay up. Not relying on other teams so much any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Still in it, but I think based on form and momentum we are in a stronger position for the next 9 games than Hull, Sunderland, Burnley and QPR. Leicester are gone for me, and I think 2 of the 4 teams I have just mentioned will drop. 3 points against Swansea would be massive leading in to a difficult April.

Even if they haven't, a couple of draws in ten fixtures will be enough for them to be safe. They'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arj Guy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Looks like Newcastle are on the beach, so we can't rely on them for a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Still massively in it for me. It looks an awful awful lot better but that was a bad result at Turf Moor for us last night imo. Got some very very tough games coming up and there isn't an awful lot in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arj Guy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hull would have to do amazingly well to finish above us, looking at their remaining fixtures. Having just looked at their fixtures, I could see them only getting 3 points from those games against Burnley. QPR and Leicester are gone. Either Hull, Sunderland or Burnley will join them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The more I look at the table the more scared I am. It looks a lot better than it did 2 weeks ago! We have a few winnable home games now and the best thing is, we have a manager that knows how to win now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Still nine games to go, twenty-seven points to play for and so much that can happen. I wouldn't write anyone as safe or relegated yet, although it's looking pretty bad for Leicester but Sunderland survived from a similar position last year.

stewiek2 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I think there's 1 place up for grabs and for me it's Hull who look precarious. Bruce has no history of pulling off shock results. Poyet has but their squad and the backroom rumours are a club in absolute turmoil so I think one of those two. Burnley are showing fight as are we now. I hope Burnley do stay up. Dyche is doing a great job with what he has got and deserves another shot at this division. So for me, its, Leicester, QPR and one of Hull or Sunderland to go imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Sunderland were brutal yesterday, their best player was arrested for having sex with a 15 year old, manager sent off the game before and half the stadium evacuated yesterday before half time, it's like us under Lambert, I'll be surprised if they pick up 4 more points without even looking at their games.

True, however they've got Newcastle coming up. If they win that things could change for them. Hopefully they stick with Poyet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
