Relegation?

[l_mckay]

Think there is still a win and at least 1 draw we can get out of our run in. Hull city will be safe and surely looking forward to a cup final by the time they come to villa park so that could work in our favour.cant see Norwich pickin up many points and sunderland and Cardiff are already gone I think so lucky for us there's 3 worse teams AGAIN!!

' we won't go down only because there are 3 worse teams than us '

Why do people write that bilge, that's how the league system works,
The worst teams are at the bottom and they go down, because err..... They are the worst

Even as bad as we are, if everyone above us were shitter than us we would win the league

It's utter nonsense

I see what you mean, but if it's used as an indictment of how poor we are and not as a description of how a league system works, I think it's a fair enough point. We aren't actually good enough to ensure our own safety, particularly on current form, so we have to rely on others to do it for us. The worst team is at the very bottom of the table and outplayed and beat us yesterday.

I can't see another win this season - we will not reach 41 points, so won't surpass last season's tally. We played well in April last year. but awful now.

Your not buying into the long tern project then ?

The Blues comparison is very worrying actually. When they had 6 games left in 2011 they were 14th, 5 points clear of the bottom with a game in hand, only -10 goal difference.

They then managed only one point from the last 6 games and went down....

It's a sad truth we will be wanting Spuds to win tomorrow.....urrrrggh.
I think we will stagger over the line with few draws.

So Norwich have fired Hughton and replaced him with some youth team boss...I recognise the name, is he an ex players of theirs? (Neil Adams).

I think they're done if the lose at Fulham personally so not sure if this will help them or not as they're a very poor team in reality.

Shame their board hate Lambert now as we could send him back there.

Or any other outsized sea bird?

Realistically Norwich has got huge chances to go down, after Fulham away, they're playing Liverpool, United, Chelsea and Arsenal, with a youth team boss in control...

Norwich state of affairs has similarities to Wolves a few years back.

I think what they mean is that we are lucky that the standard is so poor. Ie in an 'average' season, we are so useless we'd be relegated but as there are some unusually shit teams this year we are likely to be ok.

I think if you stay up with forty points or more you have kept yourselves up. If we were to stay up with our current points total then we would be very lucky that there were three teams even worse than us.

...which means Norwich and West Brom should be worried (and they've only five games left, I think.)

Thanks for that crumb of comfort, Billy, but I have to say that comparison will still give me nightmares tonight.
