How many points will keep us up?

[eastie]

Wigan will have 3 games to rearrange if they reach the final.

It's worth noting that because no team has been cut off that the points total to stay up will be lower than most seasons, it's just logic. You see, when a team is so shite it gets cut away everyone else takes points whereas a season like this one sees the bottom 10 taking points off each other meaning things are tighter and no one can pull away which is why there's hardly any points between the bottom and the top 10. Personally I think anything above 36 will give you a great chance.

And Coventry won 3 on the bounce in 198phhwwwerr to stay up when it was still okay to like them.

[darren woolley]

I think 36 points will be enough to stay up we can get that moment.

I have been having a look at our remaining games.
Trying to be objective and not letting my heart rule my head, I have come up with the following possible results:

Everton - draw
West Ham - Villa win
Arsenal - Villa loss
Man City - Villa loss
Reading - Villa win
QPR - Villa win
Liverpool - draw
Stoke - Villa loss
Fulham - Villa win
Man Utd - Villa loss
Sunderland - draw
Norwich - Villa loss
Chelsea - Villa loss
Wigan - Villa loss

This would leave us finishing our league campaign on 35 points.

Is that enough?

6 out of 6, you should have done an accumulator.

Shows we're not safe by a long way looking at his other predictions!

Man Utd loss ! Give over.

Yeah, I'm hoping that's the end of his good run though I think's he's bang on the money with the Fulham game...

I have us down for an away win, either stoke or Norwich
1 point from last 5 games? Wouldn't think so

We never in at Norwich in the league. Something like 30 years since we last did.

We beat them 2-1 in '93. Since then we've played them three times at Carrow Road in the League, drawing two and losing one.  Not the worst record really.

Wigan away is one we should win. They've only beaten us once there, in their first Prem season. They win at Villa Park, we win at the DW. It's the way it always happens.

[SamTheMouse]

The only remaining game I think we will definitely lose is at Old Trafford. No doubt we'll be assigned Dowd in that one, just to make sure of it.

We're capable of taking points in all of the other matches, but it'll still be tighter than a nun's chuff.

36 or 37 would be enough but I want 40.

If that fat cheating ****** has to ref us in one more game this season, let it be that one. Hopefully they will let him take the penalties.
