I have faint optimisation with the whole 5-0 victory in Carabo .factually Liverpool biggest beating this season !

[Villafirst]

No worries now about the Liverpool away game. Season will be void....

[tony scott]

Could we have none added to the list?

[Legion]

Bloody Covid-19, buggering up my poll.

[Richard E]

Lock the thread!!!

[nigel]

I wonder if they’d consider a who’s been in the bottom 3 average for the season to decide?
What would the bottom 3 look like?

I’d guess Watford and Norwich would take up two places with the third between us, Bournemouth and WHU

We've only just become a bottom-threer.

Would Southampton still go on that basis? Hilarious  prospect, even if there’s no chance that’s happening.

Thought we’d popped into bottom 3 a couple of times?

I’d forgotten about Southampton!

27 years hiistory of prem league.22 teams (81.5 %) who were bottom of the league on Match day 30, were relegated at the end of the season. Even if Norwich v Southampton win they remain bottom.

Bournemouth and Brighton have no matches against the bottom six .

[Big Ming]

The Sheffield United home game was one of the most winnable 'must win' games we had.

Bottom line is we didn't win it.

[cdbearsfan]

Why was Sheffield United one of our most winnable? This arrogance keeps rearing its head. We have nine games remaining and only three of them are above Sheffield United. Only Liverpool, in all four divisions, have conceded fewer and they've only lost two of their last twenty-three away games, against Liverpool and Man City.

Sheffield United are 6th. They've only lost in the last 10 or so games to Liverpool and Man City. We were the better side the other night and we competed and defended well. It wasn't must win, it was must improve and we did.

[cdbearsfan]

Quite.
