Relegation?

[bones.]

Des I am really losing patience with you. Two pages back you said 2 points and now it's 1. Please tell me the truth as my nerves are at breakdown point?

I'm sorry. The truth is I don't know. Who does? That's the beauty of a relegation scrap.

If there is any beauty in a relegation scrap Im feeling far too stressed to see it. F*ck beauty I just want it to end!

I agree 3 is the number.

Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Eleven of Aston towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

Perhaps one of our oponents will 'take one for the league' so that lots of teams are guaranteed 4 - 6 points next year when playing us if we are still up there.

It beats my technique. I put the names of all the teams on a dart board, blindfolded myself and threw the darts. I wouldn't call it fail-safe though.
I have Cardiff, Sunderland and the cats arse to go down.

I cannot see Norwich beating Liverpool or Arsenal at home given their records against the former and the need for Liverpool to chase down the title and Arsenal to likely win to stay ahead of Everton on the last day.

They then have away games at Man United, which they may get a point and an away game at Chelsea, who like Liverpool, will be chasing down the title and have never lost in the league at home under Mourinho.

I think Sunderland and Cardiff will go, but it comes down to whether Fulham will get the four points needed to overhaul Norwich who in my view, will end up with one more point on 33.

Fulham have Hull and Palace at home, so you suspect that four points from that is possible. I don't think they will get anything at Spurs or Stoke.

For me, Norwich will be relegated, which is a pity, as we routinely beat them.

[levico]

So Sunderland get a point no one expected. Is this the beginning of their revival?

[Richard E]

So Sunderland get a point no one expected. Is this the beginning of their revival?

No. They will lose to Chelsea on Saturday and sink without trace.

[pauliewalnuts]

So Sunderland get a point no one expected. Is this the beginning of their revival?

No.

They so nearly won, and to be honest, having watched the whole match, I think it would have been a fair result, but that's it for them, really. Their situation is just so awful, there's no escaping that. Three unlikely points tonight would have given them at least a straw to grab, but without that, they're done for.
