The Plot To Escape Relegation Thread - 2016

[Chris Harte]

Okay, let's play:

Liverpool Home - Draw
Stoke Away - Draw
Everton Home - Draw
Citeh Away - Lose
Spuds Home - Lose
Swansea Away - Draw
Chelsea Home - Draw
Bournemouth Home - Win
Manure Away - Lose
Southampton Home - Draw
Watford Away - Win
Newcastle Home - Win
Arsenal Away - Lose.

I see this putting us on 31 points. It won't be enough, other than to perhaps get us off the bottom of the league.

I predict we will need a point to stay up at Arsenal, who, rather coincidentally,  will need a point to win the title.

Liverpool Home - Draw 1 point

The difficulty of playing the forecasting game is that you have to put each game in it's own unique context. For example, if we lose to Liverpool and Stoke, then the wheels will have come off the mini-revival and we may well go into free fall, losing most of the remaining games. Conversely, while it's difficult sitting here now, today, to see us beating Tottenham, I could see it happening if we carried on the current momentum and we played them very much alive and on the back of a few wins. Totally different context and a completely different game to one where we're more or less down and on a poor run. If that was the case, then they would take us to the cleaners. Ditto the Arsenal game in May. What will the context of that game be? If we needed some points to stay up, and were still alive, and Arsenal had already won the league, or lost it, then I could see us winning. If Arsenal needed three points to win the the title, then forget it, whether were alive or dead. Context is everything, but here's my go at looking into the crystal ball: -


Liverpool Home - Draw 1 Point
Stoke Away - Win 3 points.
Everton Home - Win 3 Points
Citeh Away - Lose 0 points
Spuds Home - Draw 1 point
Swansea Away - Win 3 points
Chelsea Home - Draw 1 point
Bournemouth Home - Win 3 points.
Manure Away - Lose 0 points
Southampton Home - Win 3 points
Watford Away - Draw 1 point
Newcastle Home - Win 3 points
Arsenal Away - Draw 1 point

39 points and we go down on goal difference. Last minute Arsenal goal does for us and the Ollbeyun stay up!

Focus on Liverpool for now. It's a game we can win. When was the last time we beat them at home?

I have to say if there was any side I would love to do right in it it would be Newcastle. Their fans have moaned non stop about us taking the piss, McLaren is a complete knob too. I would love to with leapfrog them or take them with us at Villa Park.

I agree with the sentiment, but if they come down with us it gets a whole lot harder to get out of an already tough division.

arsenal away last game
we lose but stay up??

By the time we get there we will need a result against an Arsenal side that can't win the league, will have chumps league qualification sewn up and with an eye on the cup final. It is written.

oh to bounce in the clock end again, dreams are made of this

Arsene to throw his apprentice a lifeline?

and Liverpool beat Albion to relegate them!!!!
