The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

[Toronto Villa]

It will be done next week. We play like we did today now way West Ham are staying with us. And Everton area great at home, so they'll do Sunderland. Also I'm going for the Bitters to beat Newcastle. Arsenal to win at Hull.

[Villafirst]

Have to go all out and beat West Ham, which should do it on 38 points.

[Malandro]

FFS - NEWCASTLE HAVE 35 POINTS!! Not 38.....

I think you better spell out what you meant dave

Albion will roll over for Newcastle next week and Hull won't be easy for Arsenal.

[Matt Collins]

I'm not sure Newcastle could beat the baggies under 5 girls team at the moment

[OCD]

It might look a bit suspicious next week when Albion's under 5 girls team start kicking the ball into their own net due to Newcastle's ineptitude.

I have to say that my mind was cast to the scenes that greeted us as we left St James' Park at the end of Februrary as we walked down the Holte send steps today. I was smiling though, not laughing. Yet.

We've just played Spurs, Liverpool, Man City and Everton and scored 8 goals on our way to winning three and we are rightly aggrieved that we didn't win them all.

We need four points I think from the last three to be sure, but hopefully that can be 7-9.

Bookies have us 20/1 against. Sunderland and then Newcastle favourites for the final slot.

As much as I wish it, there's something undefinable I can't put my finger on that stops me thinking Newcastle will drop, like a freak win or a point from nothing. If they had two fewer points...

As for Sunderland, how Southampton didn't rip them a new one, I'll never know. That was one of the worst winning performances I've seen. There have been loads of undeserved wins in football, but for most of that game they looked like they were actively trying to lose.

If Sunderland play like that against Arsenal or Everton or Chelsea they'll be beaten.

I'm hoping Everton play better than they did today. I thought they were very poor. But Lukaku against O'Shea might be amusing.

[Des Little]

Still Hull or Sunderland for me. Newcastle can't lose another 3 games, it just won't happen...sadly!

They are a very different team at Goodison. They've been poor away but really strong at home.

We deserved much more than we got at Newcastle. If we had got a point out of that, right now you would be looking at it thinking they are fucked. Ciise coming back though, almost certainly a different manager next week whoever takes over as Carver after his press conference today has basically made it untenable, and Albion bending over in the hope of hurting us.

I would LOVE us to still finish above that rabble, but an FA cup win would be nice.

Only thing I'd ask for is that once we are indeed safe this thread and all threads like it are deleted and never ever raise their heads ever again.

Ill settle for a lock JC.  This thread has been my big break.  I've got loads of phone calls since I launched it.
