Relegation Watch

[AVH87]

At the moment that outrageous decision at Selhurst Park is the difference between us being in the relegation zone and being above it.

Surely the luck against Sheff U levelled that out?

That Arsenal handball that wasn't given will piss me off if it's the difference between dropping or not. I was right in line with it. So blatant.

Of all the VAR controversies, that's the biggie. I don't know how anybody could look at that in real time or replay and not think it was handball.

I reckon that Liverpool will put out a really strong side against Man City on Thursday because they won't want to lose to their closest rivals and this will take a lot out of them.  Therefore, against Villa, they will put out a mixture.  We will see of course but we may have a sniff yet.

I have a weird feeling that they'll do us a favour. Whether we could capitalise if they did is another question.

I think they will rest players against Man City. Klopp won't want to give them the possible psychological boost of beating their proper team. I think they'll play a few kids against us, too. Think we have more chance at Liverpool than we do at home to Man U the week after.

Yep, there's a minor chance that we'll catch Liverpool at a good time. Man Utd will batter us.

The next two are free hits, with the obvious hope that we don’t make our goal difference even more horrendous than it is currently of course. The last four games really will be the making or breaking of us - as long as the other three teams down there with us have carried on the way they’ve restarted.

We could be out of touch by the time we play our next easy game.

And we may have to gain points from all four games left, can anyone really see us doing that?  Stealing points in our next two games may be crucial.

Alternatively we might not be

Home v Wigan, November 2020.

The way it is at the moment we will probably be relegated without taking anymore points, but go down on goal difference.

The lack of crowds shows what a huge leveller fans can be for the weaker sides. Yes we are all poor, but 3 points from the bottom 5 so far and we account for 2 of them.

This is my feelings. Villa might be bad, but at the moment the other 4 are even worse. It's and Brighton are the only sides with any momentum whatsoever.

[Steve67]

Interesting that Brighton have only lost one of their last seven games, but haven't really gone anywhere, they are still only a couple of points above the relegation zone and their form may dip again.  I doubt it, but they could become involved again.

A freaky result here and there yet to come, I just hope that we are the team to do it!

 Our current plight reminds me of the classic scene in Fawlty Towers when Basil is being berated by a customer for running the worst hotel in Britain. The major interjects saying “no, wait I won’t have that...!”. Basil looks momentarily relieved before the major says “ there’s a place in Eastbourne that’s even worse”. In our case we have to hope that instead of Eastbourne it’s Bournemouth, Norwich and the Theatre of Porn.
