We need Chelsea to win tonight and Newcastle to win tomorrow. But most importantly we need to win some fucking games.

As defeatist as it is, I'd sign up for two 1 goal defeats (think Man. United will beat us by bigger margin than Livepool).

Have to look at every single stat and GD is very important now. Watford are -23 compared to our -24. Watford still got to play Man. City so prospect of another heavy defeat.

We will then have to win 1 of the last 4 and scramble two draws and cross our fingers.

Don't think one win and a couple of draws would do it. Two wins at least.

The way it's going, I'm starting to think two more points might be enough! As we reach the conclusion of another round of matches, the bottom 5, fighting for their lives, have still mustered only one solitary win between them in 19 games.

Watford have dropped right back in it, but I can just see them scraping a couple of wins from somewhere.  Bournemouth look completely gone at the moment.

Yes.

The one thing in our favour is that many teams have been sluggish and below par for a couple of games after the restart and then burst into life, and found their zing. MoN used to call it vim, which was a detergent in my young day.

I remember a home game against Watford late in the season on our way to Division 3. We lost 0-2. The Watford fans were in what is now the Lower Trinity when it was a terrace. I was ejected from the back of the Holte and missed most of the game.

Those were the days, my friends.

I think we can and we will just scrape home this season. Norwich are gone, Bournemouth look puss and Watford are struggling badly. We’ve had a couple of draws and lost a couple, but don’t look too bad, compared to the others. Probably get spanked by Liverpool and Man U, but Palace and Everton are winnable, with maybe a point from Arsenal. See West Ham off and it could be reasonably comfortable. Although being Villa probably not. We’ll limp over the line I reckon.

Norwich will be the doing of us as Watford, West Ham and Bournemouth all have to play them don't they?

At this point I'd settle for needing a win at West Ham on the last day, Watford are at Arsenal. West Ham will be safe by then.

The dropped points against the blades are obviously going to do our legs....
