Relegation

[ToffeeTim]

I'm ok with Watford losing. I think they are one more bad result away from being absolutely doomed.

A draw would have been ok, but it looks like its 17th or 18th now

 

[ToffeeTim]

The reality is that we have a lifeline again to safety. Nothing more than that.

I think we're going to have to win on the road and get a draw to go with another couple of home wins.

Then we'll just have to see if Burnley can match 38 points.

The Burnley defeat was damaging.

Sorry to add that note on a decent day for us, but we really need some exceptional results to make sure we're safe.

I think Burnley will win tomorrow but its not a given. We won't need 38 if they dont win tomorrow so hopefully we get a favour

You reckon 38points?? Can’t see that myself

If they get beat tomorrow it'll be a big boost.

I dont think it'll be any less.

Definitely

But we'll have more of an idea whats needed after that game. 3 more wins is my best guess.

35, maybe 36 at a push

but that’s also relying on burnley losing 3 isn’t it?

yeah hopefully was shocked that the team did come back and get us the win after the defeat. But hopefully with players back we can push every game really hope they get beat tomorow

I dont believe that 7/8 more points will hand us safety. No way.

Hope your wrong mate!

So you reckon that Burnley are suddenly going to get (at least) 1.56pts per game for the rest of the season (an average which over 38 games would likely have them in the top half), when they've averaged barely more than half that so far this season?

I believe their games are generally winnable compared to ours.

We effectively have 6 games left to get points in. Liverpool and Arsenal away we wont get anything.

Quite possibly true, but you said 38pts won't be enough, which means you think they'll get at least that many.

So you think they're going to (at least) almost double their current points per game over the last 9?
