Relegation?

[supertom]

Cardiff, Fulham and one of Norwich or West Brom will drop I reckon. I think Gus will just about take Sunderland to safety. It'll be those games in hand which are key. He's got to get points from them. His reckon at Sunderland has been reasonably good though, mid-table form, so he may pull it off.

As for us, I see no reason why we shouldn't win the majority of our remaining home games. On paper, aside from the Chelsea game, they're all teams we should be looking to beat. If we go for it, we should be okay. We were so dour and negative against sides like Swansea, Palace, W Ham and Sunderland at home. Really wasted matches. If we play football, attack, then as we've seen against West Brom and Norwich, we will beat the shit teams.

IIRC the games Sunderland have in hand are Man City and the Bitters.

Norwich really have to start picking up points soon, their last 4 games are

H) Racist FC
A) Manure
A) Chavski
H) Arse

Jesus. If they don't pick up points in the next few I think they'll go. They don't look like there's many goals in them.

Those last 4 mean their next 6 they essentially have to make at least 9 points to have any chance, and already have a -22 GD.

9 would take them to 37.

From:

Stoke (h), Saints (a), Sunderland ~(h), Swansea (a), Albion (h), Fulham (a).

Apart from Southampton, 5 of the bottom 7. Whatever they do, it can't be too bad for us, as they are our rivals too, so will be taking points from each other.

I posted a stat about them the other day, last time they scored twice in a league game was 7th Dec, amusingly against the Bitters. And they've only scored two or more three times in the league all season. After 3 minutes I did think it would be 4 times.

That Sunderland game will be massive for them. I'd fancy Gus's lot to nick that one, which could well see a switcharound between Norwich and Sunderland position wise.
Stoke will be tough for them too.

Norwich dropping would be wonderful for the whole Hoolahan thing and the delusions of grander. The Tesco's dropping would just be wonderful.

Those two going and Fulham staying up would be rather good.

'I don't care about Norwich.' but that prick McNally cant wait to see his face when they drop.

certainly a decent compromise.

I could certainly live with that.

Ouch. I suppose the sliver of hope there is that those teams may not have anything to play for by that point.

I think Norwich have to take 5-7 points from their next three home games to have any chance of stopping up. They are terrible away from home and you really cannot see them picking much up away from home for the rest of the season. Given their last four games, if they don't take 5-7 points from Stoke, Sunderland and West Brom, then they will be very close to going down.

A trip to Old Trafford's a piece of piss these days isn't it?
