3rd Relegation Spot. H&V Decides: 1-day poll

[Legion]

No. Let's just hope Stoke beat Sunderland and Swansea beat Wigan.

[OzVilla]

We could simplify things and beat Chelsea.

Is there a way for us to be safe by the time we play Chelski? I would like that.

Not quite but a Wigan defeat against Swansea would mean they'd need to beat both Arsenal away and Us while we'd need to lose against Chelsea.

[OzVilla]

I know this much, i'm exhausted just going through all the permiatations in my mind for hours on end.

I feel like i'm on football predictive Speed or something.

Fucking Albion!!!

Our early kick off vs Chelsea does us no favours at all (unless we get a result). Lose and it will give Norwich, Newcastle and Sunderland a lift...but win it and it kicks them in the nuts, but it wouldn't matter then anyway.

[RossLeach]

If we draw with Chelsea and Wigan get 4 pts from Swansea and Arsenal, then a draw on the last day might be enough for us both to stay up

[NeilH]

 I still cannot believe we are on 40 points and still looking over our shoulder. Wigan really are like a bad smell that simply won’t go away. We have to get a point out of that Chelsea game to maintain the momentum, but I simply don’t think our team is capable of playing out a draw.
I’m less worried than I was at the 88th minute of Saturday’s game, but we are not out of the woods yet, especially with Wigan up to their usual tricks.

[Jimbo]

If both us and Wigan do need a draw to stay up on the final day, will we do a Sweden-Denmark?

[ozzjim]

If both us and Wigan do need a draw to stay up on the final day, will we do a Sweden-Denmark?

Almost certainly.

[OzVilla]

If both us and Wigan do need a draw to stay up on the final day, will we do a Sweden-Denmark?

Well I doubt very much that we'll both know before the game that 1 point will be sufficient - it might prove so afterwards but not before.

I expect one or both of us will need to win it.  A nightmare scenario that I want us to avoid at all costs.

[The Man With A Stick]

Norwich for me.  Out of all the other teams down there, I'd prefer them to stay up, but I don't think they'll get another point.

[Ads]

Wigan wont get any favours from us. We will go up there and beat them come what may.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We'll beat Wigan so I'm not too concerned.

[Louzie0]

5 yes FIVE people on here have said Villa....un-f-in-believable!

Why is it so unbelievable? Because we see the games before us going against us? How many times when we have needed them too, have games gone for us? Thankfully we are doing it for ourselves.

I do feel for you but can't help you I am afraid.

An alternative possibility is that some mischievous FORKs are stirring it.

* Fans Of Rival Klubs on here.

I've gone for Sunderland because they have just lost key players from their squad at the worst time.

We might not KNOW but if both teams are ahead of or level on points with Newcastle and Norwich going in to the games then it looks a decent bet that a draw would do given their last day

[Mister E]

I suspect - looking at all the foixtures - that BarCodes must be cacking themselves, especially if QPR have one last hurrah against them.
There's a synchronisity about the underwhelming Pardew being manager of the season one year and relegation-manager in the next.
Norwich would be my second bid for relegation.
Wigan have to win a very winnable game aginst Swansea and I think they may have enough.
I think blunderland will beat Stoke tonight ... but if not they are definitely in the mire.

Win agin' Chelsea and our agony is done; so let's go to it.
