4 more wins & a couple of draws is the minimum we need now for the great escape - draw away & try to win at home should be our aim ....
Spot on!!! Easy? Of course not! Doable? Absolutely !!!!We’ve beaten top of the league at home and taken a point at City and that was even under Lampard. We’re capable of getting points in every single game regardless of who the opposition is. I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get anything out of the next three. We can certainly beat Spurs at Goodison and other teams have gone to Stamford Bridge and caused problems.
4 out of my target of 7 points from the first 4 on the list.I was looking for 18 points from 15 games to get to 39 points. So far we have 1 point out of 6 that I needed for my list.
Now we need an extra 5 from somewhere. But for this to work we need away wins at Brentford, Wolves and Leicester. 3 away wins!! and to not lose to Spurs, Newcastle and Brighton. and bournemouth, who almost beat Arsenal. wow. The only hope now is that one out of Leeds, Forest, West Ham, Palace or Leicester have a horrible run in.
Villa (H) - 3 pts / RESULT 0 POINTS
Arsenal (A) - 0 / RESULT 0 POINTS
Forest (A) - 3 / RESULT 1 POINT
Brentford (H) - 1 / RESULT 3 POINTS
Chelsea (A) - 0
Spurs (H) - 1
Man U (A) - 0
Fulham (H) - 1
Palace (A) - 3
Newcastle (H) - 1
Leicester (A) - 3
Brighton (A) - 1
Man City (H) - 0
Wolves (A) - 3
Bournemouth (H) - 1
Both are in common usage.

The correct term actually is 'Hear him! Hear him!'As it’s Sunday and we won yesterday…the correct term is Hear, hear. You are correct though that on the internet both are in common usage. And on that totally pointless note I’m taking the wife out for a drive……
1 year of a real relegation battle should have been enough that they do something drastic to change - this is 2 in a row. I often remember Arsene Wenger and Arsenal settling for top 6 while they built the Emirates Stadium but they had a philosophy to invest in young players and follow a playing style and they played the long game - I would have been ok if we had gone mid-table for a few years, but the combination of relegation scrap + no football direction & Philosophy + flouting FFP rules is just too much to take .I think 37 will be enough.
But hope that if we stay up we can invest and back Dyche in the summer so we're not back on this similar thread next year.
