So looking at the remaining fixtures, Bournemouth look to have a pretty tough run in. Watford and West Ham have to play each other and Norwich while we of course play West Ham on the last day.

Whoever loses the Watford v West Ham game will be screwed in my opinion & a point won't be much good to either. If Norwich could also take a point off one of them that would be great.

We have to keep the faith.

I'd have more faith if we showed any intent that we actually wanted to win a game and had the ability to do that.  The last time I can recall us "having a go" was the Spurs game at home.

I think that's the one area that has disappointed me, we seem to lack a mentality to just go for it. Whether we've the personnel is another question of course but you'd think we should still be able to lump it forwards, and take a gamble.

Neck stuck firmly out here, it's not totally improbable for us to move up the table before we play again. Bournemouth play Newcastle and m'Ure in that time.

It was massively irresponsible, from the perspective of mental health, to bring back football before the pubs were open so I can at least drown my sorrows at The Bartons. The ******.

i hope i'm wrong, but here's my prediction.



I cant see WHam getting a win, let alone 3.
B‘Mouth will lose at least one of Spurs, LCity and Everton
Though I think you are spot on for Villa, and WHam will park the bus against us.

But good to have a prediction.

I have B'Mouth getting a win against S'Ton, and draws against Newcastle &  Everton,

WHam 4 draws against Newcastle, Burnley, Norwich & Watford

US, win against Palace & Wham ( yes I've started drinking again) and draw against Everton.

So we might be safe, but not sure my predictions are spot on  ::)

Need Newcastle to do is some favours this week I worry that that just the point against them is going to look worse come the end of the week ..

Southampton too v Watford

Liverpool next game need to hope they put all Thier efforts into beating City just for bragging rights then stick the kids / reserves out against us ..though the kids they had on against Palace looked pretty good..

I think both Watford and Bournemouth will pick up points in there next couple of games. Newcastle are the weak link in our need for other clubs to do us a favour. At the end of the day, you have to help yourselves at some point and we are incapable of that.

It’s a decent prediction and shows how close it is, it also shows up how difficult our run in is compared to Watford West Ham.
The bookies don’t often lose money and they have Norwich BMouth and us down.
Does any one still believe we are staying up, if so get your bets on.

I’m not reading anything into who teams have left to play, for two reasons - at this stage of the season, there are more than often a number of freak results, and secondly, we are so poor right now that every single game is a huge challenge, regardless of of the opposition.  Basically, we are hoping for that freak result every game.

Saints did us a big favour today. Annoyingly, 33 poit's might be enough to stay up this season. Can we get 6/7 points from the remaining games? Need to beat Arsenal & Palace!

We will get hammered by Liverpool, ManU, and Everton, Arsenal are poor but no way near as poor as us so expect them to beat us 1-0, and we might if we are lucky scrape a draw and a win from Palace/WHU.

4 points - 31 in total. Nowhere near enough - we are getting what the management and squad deserve for the drivel they have served up.

It’s time to turn our attention to rebuild number 7!!

We will be lucky to get to the West Ham game with something to play for.

So our game at home to Arsenal will have to be moved now cos of their progress in the Cup, Vill I An? As long as we don't get fewer days than Wham to prepare for the last day showdown (best case scenario at the moment).
