The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[James Patrick]

No.. Mods are being pedantic about it.

Well at least change the title to "2024/25 European Battle"

Hopefully this is the end of these nightmare few years , for me this has been worse than the 90s

We did win our last trophy in the 90's but yes i agree. We also lost our place in the footballing elite in that decade as well.

 

[Tipp blue]

As long as Everton are not involved in it that's the main thing!

We are well out of it now, 2 of the bottom 4 would have to get their act together pronto to drag us back into it.. Cant see it.

Not so sure about that.. Yes we won the cup but for much of the 90's the football served up was dog s***

My head tells me we’re safe. But I’ll be fully relaxed after another couple of wins. But if wolves and Ipswich don’t start picking up points very soon then they wont catch us even if our form dips.

Looking like it’s going to be Saints + one of Leicester, Ipswich and Wolves

I think United will be okay even if we beat them next week

They’re already 12 points clear of the drop zone

A 12 point swing from both Leicester and Ipswich seems unlikely

I keep thinking that Wolves go on a run, and I do think they’re capable, but they’re running out of time

They might end up staying up by default

Actually, it's going to be Saints and two of the other three, unless there's something about City you're not telling us.

Wasnt just the results it was everything else that went with it benitez allardyce koemen dyche , rumours off administration , points deduction's, last day survival, all the optimism from when moshiri bought us quickly turning to worms , and them [Poor language removed] winning everything there is to win to boot

It’s going to be 3 of the bottom 3.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Surprised Wolves are still part of the argument.

If Ipswich and Leicester continue till the end of the season with their points to game ratio that they have got so far all we need to do is get 2 points in the next 13 games or 1 point with a better goal difference to stay ahead of them at the end of the season.
They are both on course to finish the season on 30.68 points so 31 points.

 

[Groucho]

Before today's game I wanted 2 wins from Palace, United, Brentford, Wolves and Wham. We continue to exceed all expectation. No team in the bottom 3 is getting more than 35 points so 2 more wins from the next 4 and we're done.

If Ipswich go down, go and take Delap off their hands. He's an Everton number 9 all day.

I absolutely cannot wait to see Beto take on Andrew Ridley while Pepsi and Shirley score OGs.

Fully expect this thread to fade away quickly.

No longer a relevant topic this season.

Running out of time to employ Dyche and start *winning* games

Even if we go into relegation form from now to the end of the season, we are still likely to pick up 6 points. It would take an unbelievable turn of events for us to completely fall off the cliff, whilst Leicester or Ipswich would have to show much more than they have up until now.

desperately hoping manu gets relegated.
