    I would recommend changing them once a week.

    I think 37 points will be the hurdle this season

    The question was about clean sheets. ;wink

    ... but (despite your chosen #statattack) wasn't referring to just this season.

    I'd be over the moon if Palace went down.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    OK.
    Pullis at West Brom 27.52% clean sheets
    Pardew 33.33%

    Pardew inherited Pullis squad. The football is better. They are still a poor team.

    If Pardew managed to save West Brom from here, he would be an absolute legend

    Agree barracks, they in a stickier situation since sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun

    Certainly it is the tightest I have ever seen the PL, as I think most years are, but this season it definately is, very difficult to predict who will go down as it’s so tight up the table, a poor run of a couple of games and a lot of the teams can be in trouble.
    I think Newcastle will be ok strangely and as I previously said I have more respect for Rafa after he stayed with Newcastle when they went down and brought them straight back up.

    It'll be down to the last game. And Swansea v Stoke; Palace v West Brom look like sudden death for two of them. Whereas we're sitting pretty playing Everton...oh ;hmm

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43049564 Do Premier League teams really need 40 points to avoid relegation?


    Gracenote uses its Euro Club Index ranking of top-flight clubs and then runs season simulations one million times to estimate the chance of each team being relegated....
    WHU 9th out of 11, with a 6% chance of relegation.

  • alderzalderz
    So Gracenote say 34 or less will likely see you relegated.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    This season ;ok

    That means we can only have one 5-game losing streak during our remaining games ;whistle

    Looks like a doddle to me ;lol

    Good FA cup results for us so far with Swansea taken to a replay and Sothampton and Brighton through to the next round, more games, injuries and potential cards, every little helps as they say.

    I saw a link on the BBC with a stats company giving relegation % for the teams at the bottom. WBA 80% chance to go down, we are 6%, so almost a cert then ;lol
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    It was a bad set of FA Cup results as we weren't involved.

    Well depends. Some of those teams we still have to play in the league. So any fixture build up for them is handy for us I guess.

    Especially since 3 of those teams we have to play will probably still have Champions League commitments alongside FA Cup commitments....(maybe not Chelsea though :P )

    Talking of us not being in it I am looking forward to seeing how Wigan get on against City this evening. Although City are a whole different proposition to ourselves I thought Wigan really came at us and you would never at any stage have thought there were so many league places between us. They have home advantage again and if City rest a few as we did it could actually be a match worth watching.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Since they beat us Wigan have had a run of poor form in league 1

    Not coming into this in the best of form,but youd imagine they can raise their game for this

    And it's unlikely we will put out such a weak team again this season.

    And Man City have also been knocked out by Wigan. If it happens to them we can't have been all that bad ;wink

    Alan Pardew has said the 4 players who stole the taxi will never play for West Brom again.

    .....another 8 players have come forward, and said they were in the back.
  • Giant_HammerGiant_Hammer
    Ah, and there it is. The relegation excuse. ;whistle
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    I was shocked to read that four WBA players stole a taxi in Barcelona while they were getting McDonalds. They definitely deserve relegation just for that.

    What sort of twisted person visiting Barcelona gets hungry and thinks "let's go for a McDonalds"?

    Probably the only place open at 5.30 am
  • LukerzLukerz
    Stoke 0-1 up at HT
  • CleverTrevorCleverTrevor
    Howler by Butland 1-1
  • CleverTrevorCleverTrevor
    Then he makes two great saves to secure the point.
