I think Albion will beat Newcastle however it's so long since Toons have won anything that  "even the blind squirrel" syndrome could apply. If a blind squirrel needs to find a nut it should poke it's nose in the shit so they may win at the Shithole.

I honestly think we can win our 3 remaining league games if we keep players fit, get decent referees etc.
West Ham are on about their 4th two week all inclusive holiday now since February.
Southampton are running on empty after a superb season.
Burnley should be more or less gone by the time they come to B6 and again they are on empty now .
A couple of weeks ago you told us that the Southampton match was a write-off and not even worth turning up for.

If Albion roll over for Newcastle then there is no doubt what they are trying to do. If they do put out a load of beach towels and let the worst form team in the league waltz past them to score several goals then the FA should intervene and relegate them forever.

You criticising him for trying to be positive now.  I disagree with most things he says but I think he is trying to see the light.

It's good that Arsenal will be wanting to win in their games v Hull and Sunderland, having something to play for whereas perhaps Chelsea on the last day won't be that bothered.

Sunderland at best will get 5 points I think, and that seems unlikely...  I hope we have pulled away by the last weekend, I would hate to be involved in one of those 'relegation table as it stands' things flashing up on SKY every 10 minutes.

Chelsea aren't going to roll over under mourinho I don't think

I think he'll want to win the league with as many points as possible

That's what I'm hoping anyway

That last week for Sunderland is just horrible - huge game against Leicester, then arsenal a, then Chelsea a - all in 8 days. It would be extraordinary if they pick up three results there. I just can't see it. They'll be physically and mentally drained

I just hope we win on Saturday.

I can't see all the teams below us getting results so that would leave us at least 3 points clear with two to play and a better goal difference than a few teams. Whilst not mathematically safe it should be enough.

At the time they were CL spot contenders.
That ship has sailed now.

You should never write a game off, regardless of where they are in the league.

If we win on Saturday and get to the stage where two of the teams below us need to win both of their last two games, then even I will relax.

Carver stays in charge for last 3 games, even mad Mike wouldn't have ditched him at this stage.

QPR and Burnley already need to win every game to catch us. No one else can be that far behind us even if we win and they all lose this weekend. Sunderland would be 5 behind us with 3 to play, the others would be 3 or 4 behind us.
