I think it will go down to the last game, one way or another.

I can't see it being probable that it goes to the last day. Our results would have to tally so completely that it's massively unlikely.

I can. Both teams are poor and losing/drawing.

Plus we only have to be within three points of West Ham for it to come down to the last day, between us anyway, at least mathematically. There is always a decent chance that one or both will already be safe or down by then though, I suppose.

I think that's right.  Or perhaps within 2, depending on how many batterings they / we get, just to make sure goal difference doesn't fuck us.

Our results over the last twenty games are identical to both West Ham and Bournemouths so that would suggest that it’s quite possible.

That's why I said "at least mathematically". Even if we are three points behind with a goal difference worse by twenty, we could go there and win by ten... I mean we wouldn't, obviously, but technically it would still have gone down to the last day. Like we weren't completely safe when we went to Lambert's Norwich in the last game of the McLeish Error.

I can't see the goal difference changing massively so going there needing to win by 2 or 3 wouldn't be unthinkable.

Either way Bournemouth look really poor, West Ham look nearly as bad and Norwich look like they've accepted relegation. Us, Watford and Brighton look better prepared so far.

To be 17th with Newcastle to come would be amazing.

Hoping Spuds do us a favour is like hoping Arsenal do us a favour.

Apart from ourselves as we can build great things !


I think you're spot on here. Bournemouth have gone as far as they can go, like all South Coast clubs eventually do, and Watford will go in the next couple of seasons. West Ham are still mental. We stay up and we'll kick on.

We can only be 16th or 19th tomorrow night. It would feel great being 16th, obviously.
