    No, we did the same.

    But we do feel a bit nauseous.

    It was a bit disappointing that our GD took a hit this weekend. It's crucial we keep it tight even if we lose. Right now 5 teams have a worse GD. That might be crucial come the last day of the season.

    Need 3 wins from Swansea Stoke Southampton. We had Brighton Bournemouth Newcastle and failed repeat that again against those 3 and is a tough ask to stay up. 2 points from those 3 would be almost curtains.

    So we are definitely losing at home to Everton and Burnley then?

    Everton? Most certainly, yes. You do know our record against them, right? ;lol

    Yeah, I forgot that. ;lol

    Things tightened up a bit more this weekend.

    Despite our (probably expected) defeat, we only dropped 1 point closer to the bottom 3.

    I hope we can get clear sooner rather than later, as I think the struggle to avoid the drop will be fascinating, and close all the way to the end of the season, but not enjoyable if we are part of it.

    A win against Swansea would be a huge step towards safety.

    But that was before they sold Lukaku ;wink
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    You forget Rooney normally bangs them in against us.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Rooney has scored 15 goals in 9 games out of 23 or 12 goals in 8 games out of 22 if you ignore his hat trick in November because Hart was in goal.

    You mean that 4 nil home drubbing when they didn't have Lukaku earlier this season was a dream?

    Nightmare more likely. But that was when we had Hart in goal, right?

    Looking at Grey's charts above, who do we think will drop at the end of the season.
    I think West Brom are doomed, then Stoke and a close call for the third team,but I
    think it could be Palace.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    WBA ;ok

    Palace, or Brighton, maybe. (Brighton look OK in the table now, but looking at their remaining games I'm not sure they are going to be picking up too many more points.
  • whupathmanwhupathman
    Palace have some key men out

    I'd be surprised if that were the actual table/points. It looks like the computer has assumed everyone will carry on or improve their current form, but at least one, if not two teams normally fall away towards the end.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Looking at it if all teams continued their current 10 game or 6 game form:

    Barring a significant change in ofrm, West Brom and Stoke would be gone in either scenario, with either Southampton or Huddersfield joining them.
  • stevesteve
    so according to the bbc we only have 9 games left and don't play man u
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;wahoo
  • HamstewHamstew
    So the whole article gives a breakdown on how every team needs to reach 37 points, yet in the final predicted table teams go down on 38 points ;hmm
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    And have WBA to win 3 and draw 3... (or win 4..., or...)
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    So that’s pretty much Brighton safe together with Bournemouth and Watford after this weekends games

    Just pity for Wenger that their fixture against us hasn’t quite come soon enough
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Shows when you’re in danger that a bit of effort and pride goes a long way.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Two wins on the bounce for Brighton, something we are incapable of doing. I hope Moyes has our players watching this to see what commitment is.
    Those 6 points we handed them are criminal.
