Relegation

[Axlswhk]

That Cornet miss was the defining moment.

 

[knowing your history]

Why would we need a draw?

I think 8 to play 3wins to be sure.

You take a draw from any of reds***, Arsenal, Chelsea and Leicester away imo. Bit dangerous to be writing them all off as defeats imo which is half the games left.

Was going to add Watford away in that but honestly that's a must win now given they're all but relegated after losing to Leeds. Really can't mess that up like last away game.

Still dangerous just losing the last four away games imo despite the good upturn at Goodison as Leicester are on a good league run again now they've got key players fit.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Goal difference is v similar now

 

[Colonel Getafe]

We now have the same Goal difference as Burnley

Imagine spending +£500m on a squad, having Nil Satis as your motto, and this is the sorry state of reality 3/4s of the way through a season. Astonishing.

CELEBRATION HAPPY DELIA SUNDAY RUB

 

[Marcus Halberstram]

Leicester is looking huge now. Back to back wins, 31 points and safety in sight. Loss though and then it's two of the top 3 back to back and then momentum is lost so I'm holding fire for another two weeks.

when you play someone twice so quickly it's rarely ever two wins or two defeats so I think we'll share the points.

same way as who ever wins the City game will probably get knocked out the FA Cup next weekend.

 

[Lob]

Cracking end to a cracking weekend. Well done Canaries and well done blues.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Dont think we have suddenly got some margin for error here.

Have to win against Leicester then I will start to feel confident.

 

[sbbefc]

Three wins and not losing to Watford should do it. Looking at the remaining fixtures we really need to win the home fixtures against Leicester, Brentford and Palace.

 

[Lee Smith]

We only need to win 7 of our last 8 games to be mathematically safe now…..

 

[Grogu the blue]

Can't believe the results have all gone our way this weekend, essentially means that horror show at Turf Moor never happened. Amazing really how quickly things can change in football.

We're certainly not safe yet and things can change quickly again. Leicester at home is one of the kinder fixtures we have left and we absolutely have to make that one count when it comes round. A win would do us wonders.

Got to get 3 points but definitely not lose

 

[blue to the bone]

All those who lost their heads Wednesday and were booking trains to Hull and Barnsley.
What say ye now. Always goin to be twists in it. But we will stay up !!!

 

[MrGrumpy]

Hate the knee jerking ‘we’re definitely down’ ‘we’re not going down’

All these teams around us are capable of losing every single game they’ve got left but also capable of stringing two wins together at any point.

It’s not over for us until we’re mathematically certain to be safe

I though we where dead and buried, let’s be honest half the team not been arsed for most of the season and we had terrible decisions and bad bad luck. I actually believed we won’t win another game this season. Beating Utd was huge but there still a way to go before we are safe. When was the last time we won 2 in a row? Lampards won 3 lost 7 games. Away from home we been awful

 

[Goat]

Good weekend

On to the next one

We dont play!

Burnley have West Ham away
Norwich have United away
Watford home to Brentford

Lets hope we can keep our 4 point cushion.

 

[davek]

As I said I struggle to see where they get the points. Burnely are absolutely awful. Good victory for Norwich

I'm all over the place with this relegation dog fight.

I can now see us needing 3 wins...and i can see us getting them...and maybe a few point besides.

Unbeleivable last week in terms of results.
