Are we safe now?

[damon loves JT]

I tried to sit down with a pencil and paper and work out what combination of results would send us down. My mind went blank, I am so thick

If we lose all 3

At least 2 of the following need to get the following points
Blackpool 7 (or 6 with a lot of goals for)
Wigan 7 (or 6 with a lot of goals for)
Wolves 7 with a lot of goals for (or all 9 from 3 games)
Wet Spam all 9 plus a lot of goals for

Plus Blackburn need 3+
And the dogs need a couple as well.

Beat Wigan and we are OK - none of this 1pt will do - it might not.

Yes, yes, but how many cocks have you drawn?

This might sound daft, but for ages I've had a feeling we'll get something from Arsenal away.  Don't ask me why, but I genuinely fancy us to get a point there!

I think the 40 point mark will be enough to stay up. None of the bottom teams can string any results together and I don't see that changing.

Although Blose may be looking over their shoulder rather nervously. Remaining 3 games are Newcastle and Spudz away and an on form Fulham at home...quite conceivable they could pick up nothing from those...

"I really can't wait for this season to end, so 3 points against Wigan and we can forget the final two matches"

All the games matter; all of them.
We ought not to be in this state.
Beat Wigan to be safe is sad in the extreme. We need to it is obvious. If we don't we are hopeless. We need to be them and Arsenal and Liverpool to go forward with hope and self-respect.
If the team think like all the have to do is get a result against Wigan then we have to get a new squad.  It begins to look like the latter to me.
We are safe I think but it doesn't mean anything if the team stops trying!

Of course it is sad to need to beat Wigan - it is most sad that we are not mathematically safe from relegation with three games left, though, so in the larger scheme of things, it doesn't really bother me what happens in the last two games assuming we beat Wigan.

I just want to be mathematically safe. Whether we finish 15th or 16th is neither here nor there compared to the disaster which relegation would have been, and an extra place in the table is in no way even going to begin to blunt the edges of such a horrible season.

I thought the same before Houllier took ill. I actually think we'd have finished strongly if it hadn't happened.

Now though I'm not confident.

But the fact that the other crap teams have to play each other... Does that makes some combinations of survivors impossible?

I have drawn a big cock with all jizz coming out the end

[Clampy]

I really can't call what's going to happen on Saturday, other than if we do win, we'll make bloody hard work of it.

I want the season to end so I can stop being such a fretful old queen every saturday

Hang loose little dude, it's all gonna be fine.

I stopped fretting after West Ham. I even said to Bren when I saw him before the Stoke game that it was nice to be walking to the ground not feeling stressed.

Of course there are some weird combinations of results that could fuck it up but the fact that it's so difficult to work out means that isn't going to happen.

[Clampy]

I really want to be able to go to Arsenal next week and enjoy the last away game of the season and relax without worrying about other teams maybe catching us up, but still cursing the price of the beer.

Shame, you look smashing in that Angela Kelly yellow dress with matching top hat.
