I Just did the BBC League Predictor thingy and....

I had us finishing 16th.

Oh and that was with us not winning a single point for the rest of the season.


Well it made me feel a bit better about things!

[Fuse]

Can see us getting 8 points from that lot of fixtures.

[SoccerHQ]

We would be relegated if we didn't pick up another point this season!

No chance you'd stay up on 29 points, two of the teams below us would get 30 + points.

Without doing the thing, I think we'll finish on 44 points and 13th.

Oh OK, I'll just go fuck myself then.

[PeterWithesShin]

I did it and had us winning the league.

Admittedly 19 clubs went into administration and a lot of them got docked more than 10 points on the grounds they are twats, but still.
We're gonna win the league!

If only two below us get 30+ points, we'd be fine.

[Irish villain]

Sounds like we are reliant on those below us being utterly devoid of passion

Providing we don't gain a single point from the remaining 12 games then yes! but does anyone honestly think that's possible? has it even ever happened before?

[Chipsticks]

Not to tempt fate, but should it come down to it, losing to Sunderland in late April could put the final nail in the coffin. MON could send us down.

(we'll stay up)

Sunderland, Swindon and Derby must have come close considering how few points they went down with.

We'll pull in about 10-12 points and be fine.

[SoccerHQ]

Tbf it's all been doom and gloom on here and VT recently and for good season as this season has been well and truly shite but....

All those thinking that we're going to go on a massive losing streak now, I was trying to think when we've had a run this season when we've lost 3-4 in a row. Can't think of one, I assume Xmas when we had that hard run but after losing to Arsenal and Liverpool, we drew at Stoke and won at Chelsea.

So not sure why people are fearing we're all of a sudden just going to lose 4-5 in a row.

Just looking at these fixtures and I didn't realise what a difficult run in we had.

The Arsenal-Chelsea-Liverpool-Stoke and then Manchester Utd, tagged on at the end Spurs, by the time we hit Norwich at the end we could be worn out.

[nigel]

Can see us getting 8 points from that lot of fixtures.

I reckon we could get 11 pts tops, if I'm optimistic.
I prefer PeterWithesShins outcome though

[ozzjim]

We are worse now than at any point though Soccer, you must see that. If Petrov does not make the Blackburn game and we lose it for whatever reason, we should be shitting ourselves. Bottom clubs always spurt at the end of the season. Urgency hits them and they galvanise. Apart from Blues last season, who from now sank like a stone with more points than we have now and a couple of significant injuries, just like... oh us. To not be a little concerned is mightily naive.
