The relegation battle - get out of my league!

My challenge (for what its worth) has always been is for those who support the current state of play to have the confidence to write a proper rebuttal of articles like this, or give a critique of the current board's actions, and be prepared to back up their point of view with debate.

Sorry, but 'have the confidence' comes across as totally patronising, as does 'proper rebuttal'.

You have views of the current state of affairs that are not shared by others, of which I am one.

It is not incumbent upon me, or anyone, to justify their disagreement with you.

The fact that people choose not to respond how you demand of them in no way invalidates their opinions.

grey_til_I_dye

You seem to be confusing factual claims with opinions.

I have no interest in whether or not you (or anyone) like or dislike the board/manager/colour of the beer trays etc.

If I see a post that appears to make a factual claim, and no source is offered, it seems reasonable to ask for a source.

If I disagree with interpretations of fact, I don't see why i shouldn't say so.

Isn't that exchanging views?

I lack neither the confidence nor the ability to write a critique, or offer rebuttals.

What I do lack is the necessary faff, since I can't see the point of using my time in such a way.

Separately, we have a policy of not allowing 'chivvying', for want of a better word.

That is to say, people are free to make any points they like.

Others are free to challenge those views.

Should the original poster choose not to engage further, then we don't allow others to continue to prompt them to respond further.

So, users (within site rules) are free to say what they think, but can have no expectation of others that they will respond at all, or in a way that suits.

grey_til_I_dye

I wasn't intending to be patronising, so can only apologise.

It's a discussion forum.

You made a comment, I replied.

How can that be 'vicarious'?

How can you know if the other person chooses not to engage further unless you prompt them at least once....

Hence 'continue'.

Asking once (politely), in case someone has missed it is fine.

If I didn’t have kids, I’d be in front of tv from 12.30 until 7.30, bitting my nails and screaming at the TV.

Come on Liverpool, Everton, Bournemouth, Leicester and Chelsea (Urgh)

You know it's been a terrible season when we're forced to hope for a Liverpool win.

grey_til_I_dye

This, sadly, is true although I feel worse when I find myself hoping Chelsea win. ;weep

thornburyiron

I’m not proud. I’ll support anyone against anyone if it helps us.

i thought it was about not caring what others did it only matters what we do has that gone out the window now

Just seen Everton have a break for 8 days before playing us on the last day. We have a break of 3 days!

35 points will be safe this season:

WBA - Loss/Loss/Win - 28 points - Relegated
Stoke - Loss/Win/Draw - 33 points -Relegated
Soton - Win/Loss/Draw/Loss - 34 points - Relegated
Swansea - Loss/Loss/Draw/Draw - 35 points - Safe

WBA, Stoke and Soton still on for relegation, 35 points is safe this season. Just swap the result for last game for for this game for both WBA and Stoke around.

WBA - Win/Loss/Loss - 28 points - Relegated
Stoke - Draw/Win/Loss- 33 points -Relegated
Soton - Win/Loss/Draw/Loss - 34 points - Relegated
Swansea - Loss/Loss/Draw/Draw - 35 points - Safe

Problem is, though, Mojoor, that your calculation is flawd. In their last match Stoke and Swansea play each other. How can one team lose and thr other draw? ;wink

Dodger58

Mere details Munich ;wink

meh, fine, Swansea can have a win, they are still safe and Stoke are still relegated and 35 points is still safe

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

So assuming we dont get anything from today, 3 points above the Saints with 3 games to go

Cant help but feeling nervy

Hope Leicester turn up like they did yesterday ahen we play them, although i thibk that game is away from home which'll make it harder

Lukerz

There is a chance Huddersfield won’t take another point, which would help us out. But after today, our GD’s could be mighty close to rule that almost redundant. Obviously we have 4 games and it is still in our hands to get the few points we need. Probably one win to be certain, couple of draws to be all but there. Problem is none of us want to go into the final day needing it. So it only leaves Leicester as our chance of doing the business before the final day.

baracks_a_hammer

As was shown yesterday at Liverpool there’s a chance the top clubs lose intensity at this stage of the season. So there could be something in it for us v Man U and Man City. Problem is Moyes has such a negative mindset in such games that we will likely get turned over regardless. Today represents as good a chance as any to get some sort of a result - after all stoke managed it at Anfield yesterday

Yeoldhammer

there was nothing for City against Swansea and they smashed them into next week lol

grey_til_I_dye

Huddersfield are 8 goals worse off than us. I'd like to hope we won't ship that many, and if they lose all their remaining games, they are unlikely to be making up much ground re: GD.

Yeold

They did, and will probably play at the same intensity against us.

However, from what I have seen of Man U, there is a decent chance we could nick something for that game.

IronHerb

City clinched the title against Swansea.

thornburyiron

City are after smashing all PL records so there’s no chance they won’t play at a high intensity against us.
