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

[blue to the bone]

35 points might do it this year

31 will

The key will be getting as many points as possible before that murderous April run.

I was told December and January were murderous too tbf.

 

[TrailerTrash]

Would rather they draw.

This refers to their game tomorrow.

The minute we fired Dyche was the minute we was never going to be in a relegation battle.

He was the cause of it, now hes gone im not even looking down no more im concentrating on who we can catch, and theres plenty.

A draw might not be so bad. Keeps Spurs within touch ahead of us.

Honestly I’m not too bothered about catching anyone, just widening the gap between us and the bottom 4

Do that and the other stuff will take of itself

2.47% chance going down now according to Opta.

Absolutely spot on! From now until the end of the season the only thing that matters is that gap between us and the danger zone. Widen it!! Gape it my friends!!

Yep.

It's a nice gap currently but far from job done on the main priority this season.

If we keep this momentum going it'll take care of itself as mentioned.

There is no excuses for not finishing comfortably ahead of the bottom 3 for me .7 points ahead of Ipswich and 9 to Leicester. Forget Southampton.
We will widen the gap to them.

Not at all. Id rather be like say 9 clear of the bottom 4 than 4 clear of the bottom 5

We will widen the gap to them.

The way im looking at it if the season stated now we would accumulate more points than about 7-8 teams.

Our relegation fight is no longer mate.

Some combination of bookies odds and their power rankings (history and recent form combined).

A gap so big it makes Bonnie Blue’s lady garden look like a mouse’s ear, please.

Think wolves will survive

3 promoted sides going back down again back to back seasons it seems

Absoute must win next weekend. Leicester at home under RVD if he's still there has to be 3 points. Doesn't mean we are safe but it's games like this that we have to take 3 points. I think we have 8 games left at Goodison before we leave. Every one should be like a cup final.
