    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

    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.

    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.

    To add to the six we gave to newcastle too ;lol

    Don't quite get your point. They just beat Arsenal, and you are admiring what they have done, so how is it criminal we lost to them?
