I know it was Chelsea but it's still another defeat. Last season we scrambled an unlikely win, that's not in our locker this year. It looks ominous.

Did the predictor thing as optimistically and realistically as I could. We go down in 18th position. Hull stayed up in 17th with 29 points but a better goal difference.

That's my major concern, last season we somehow beat City and Chelsea, if you took away those points we would have gone down. I just wonder how much stomach we have for a fight with the teams in and around us. We need to hit some form in Feb like we did in his first season, cant see it happening though.

We need to start playing like we did second half today and v Liverpool in the games against bottom half teams.

Surely we'd score some goals and win a game or two that way rather than just sitting back and hoping for the best.

We've got Gil now who can glide past players.

I'm glad you got some ridiculously low points totals on the predictor too. I thought it was just me.

To me Leicester have gone. Even with 5 more wins this season they're only on 32 points.

I can't see QPR doing anything either, they're only on 19 and have just 6 home games left now and they're against West Ham, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and Everton which I wouldn't suggest is a winnable set of games.

Whisper it quietly but a West Brom win would do us the world of good as that's a very winnable game for Burnley and they have quite a tough sequence of games after tomorrow.

There is zero chance anyone will stay up on 29 points.

36-37 points will probably keep you up this season.

I'm clinging to the hope that it's Leicester, QPR and Burnley that drop.

When I did the Football Predictor a few weeks ago I had some teams going down with very low points totals. It looks like I was right. From Everton in twelfth and downwards teams have to win one in three for the rest of the season to reach forty points. It is possible at least one team will fail to reach thirty points. I think Everton and Palace will be okay. It is interesting that Albion have the same points as us but don't get the criticism we do. Although admittedly much of that is down to our lack of goals. Leicester and Hull look in big trouble. We have to see how the managerial change effects QPR. Burnley are limited but will battle and probably pick up a few home points.  Sunderland struggle for goals and points. I think Leicester and Hull will definitely drop along with possibly Burnley. It will be a close run thing for QPR, us, Albion and Sunderland I think.


Don't like quoting myself but thought it was worth wheeling out again. Saunders Heroes says 36/37 points will probably keep you up this season. I reckon it would definitely be enough to keep you up the way things are going.

I think it will be any 3 out of QPR, Leicester, Burnley and Hull.

With the last five matches that they have, West Brom had better hope they've picked up all the points they need before May arrives.

Pipe down minion. ;)






You are correct though. That is a very winnable game for Burnley and they have a nightmare run of fixtures after that.

Few rumours flying around twitter that Charlie Austin broke his foot for QPR today.

If that is true QPR have next to no chance of surviving.
