I think after we lose our next league game I will give up what little hope I have left. We have circled the drain for what feels about the usual amount of seasons. Lerner didnt spend big in January to try and keep us up. The players simply may be what we paid for , cheap or championship level quality. Surprisingly I don't feel nervous about  relegation like I did the previous seasons. I have just come to accept it as a consequence of the clubs decisions. We can't argue bad luck has done us in. Even in a game where we got rid or dropped almost all our scapegoats we still lost. We have been sinking up the league all season. Probably time to go.

I think the two Albion games could be the pivotal ones.  If we were to lose both of those then it would be a massive blow which would be hard to recover from.

Gallingly, I can't think of two sets of fans who'd like to relegate us more than the two Stripeys.

REVEALED: How Chelsea will end champions, Arsenal fourth, Man Utd fifth, Liverpool sixth

REVEALED: How Chelsea will end champions, Arsenal fourth, Man Utd fifth, Liverpool sixth

THIS is how expert number crunchers think the Premier League table will end up

By Jack Wilson / Published 23rd February 2015]



Despite Jose Mourinho's claims of a campaign against his side, it's predicted that Chelsea will become champions in May.

Manchester City are on course to finish second - six points adrift of top spot -- with Southampton in third.

Arsenal come home fourth, Manchester United fifth and Liverpool sixth in the table devised using a series of complex algorithms.

The stats geeks take into account every result this season - home and away.

They then and work out the percentages of each team getting results in the remaining games of the season.

The table makes grim reading for Aston Villa fans, whose side are predicted to finish bottom by a point.

Burnley and QPR are also set for the drop while Leicester stay up on goal difference.

We're only going to score 2 goals and still get 8 points? And a team will stay up on 31 points. The nerdlingers should stick to dongle jokes.

Two 1-0 wins and two 0-0 draws? No chance.

I think some team or teams will stay up with a very low points total.When I did the predictor a couple of weeks back I'm sure I had a team or two staying up on not much more than 32 points. I still think QPR, Leicester and Burnley will drop, although the last two put on decent performances at the weekend. It will be a very close call for us, Sunderland and Hull I reckon.

Those are my three for the drop too, Damo.

Since November, with the exception of Arsenal away, we've only lost by a single goal. It doesn't take much to improve and start picking up points.

Only once since the league went to 20 teams has 31 points been enough to stay up.

From 2000 onwards the sides in 18th have had 33, 34, 36, 42, 33, 34, 34, 38, 36, 34, 30, 39, 36, 36, 33.

I think 34 might do it. If I remember right my predictor 'proved' it.

Problem for me this year is our GD is so awful and the worst in the league on account of hardly scoring any goals.

In previous seasons when we've been down there our GD has been worth an extra point so unless we get a big win or two which looks very unlikely then 34 points is too low for me to be confident we'll stop up.

Our GD was terrible in Lambert's first season, mainly due to our 'happy christmas'.

Only the bottom 3 had a worse GD than us last season, and Lambert's first season it was the bottom 3 and Newcastle who were worse. The Sunderland game was what swung our GD as I think ours was the worst around this time that season. Quite simply we need to win, do that and the GD takes care of itself.

I can't see QPR, Leicester or Burnley getting much more than 30 points to be honest. They're all absolute dross. We are of course just as bad, but the key think will be how Benteke responds for the remainder of the season. I honestly thing 12 more points would do it. It's not a huge figure, but it does seem a long way off.

We'll see. They key games are those against the sides around us, as well as the Newcastle game, as they're in a bit of mess lately.
