I'm pretty confident that if we somehow manage to get out of this mess we won't be near again. I think the owners will invest big again and it will be on a smaller number of better quality players. Many of our first team will be bench warmers and the current bench warmers won't be in the match day squad. I trust their ambition.

Usually one of the bottom teams finds a bit a form this late in the season. Watford, West Ham, bournemouth and norwich are not doing it (neither are we) but whoever gets a few points more than expected could stay up. I guess a point away at Newcastle is better than losing at burnley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is exactly this. At this rate 30 points would be enough to stay up... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancvillan Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 In 61 pages I'm sure it's been said, but this really is a contest to see who's the most useless / spineless out of us, West Ham, Watford and Bournemouth, and no-one's doing themselves any favours right now. Remaining games... Us: Wolves, Liverpool, Man U, Palace, Everton, Arsenal, West Ham Bournemouth: Newcastle, Man U, Spurs, Leicester, Man City, Southampton, Everton West Ham: Chelsea, Newcastle, Burnley, Norwich, Watford, Man U, Villa Watford: Southampton, Chelsea, Norwich, Newcastle, West Ham, Man City, Arsenal From that list I'd say Bournemouth are in deep trouble if they don't get something from Newcastle. West Ham and Watford run ins look easier but assuming Norwich don't give up completely, a lot of those teams still have everything to play for. Ironically Steve Bruce could indirectly decide the whole thing. C'mon Brucey, we love you really. Possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I think we need three points at least from the next three games to give us a chance going into the last four. Won't be easy we've either got to beat one of Wolves, Man Utd or Liverpool, or draw all three games. On the one hand I'm not too hopeful, but on the other I don't think it's impossible either that we could sneak a win in one of them, and surely we must be due a win.

See I don’t really agree with this position anymore as our rivals are so terrible. It’s going to come down to the head to heads I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Yes we might not need that many the way other teams' results are going, would be nice to get a win from one these more difficult fixtures coming up though just to give us a bit of confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see it at all. I think all 3 will flatten us and I’m a bit concerned Liverpool will put 7+ past us... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth's games are dreadful alright, but if newcastle act like that are on a saudi beach they might get something. I don't think they will get anything from Utd, Spurs, or Leicester as all are fighting for european places and city will be preparing for champs league then. Southampton and Everton might have taken their foot off the gas by then but they could be down by that stage with any bit of luck. For us, Wolves are a serious side but its a derby of sorts so you'd never know. Liverpool might be playing the kids as they will have the league won by then, Utd will beat us as per usual (really sick of that BTW), and I genuinely think we can pick up 1-2 wins from our last 4 games as Palace Everton Arsenal will have nothing to play for. I will brown all my trousers if it comes down to a shootout with West Ham on the final day. wouldn't be able for that now at all.

Keyblade Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 We're the only one out of the 4 playing Liverpool, which could either be very good or very bad depending on how seriously they take their remaining games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Maybe people will stop moaning. This is what a relegation battle looks like. Shit teams playing shit football failing to get points. We're still right in the fight for survival. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
