Current relegation odds

AmexRuislip · Oct 21, 2018

11 points is 11 points.
I'm enjoying the ride, second time around, whilst not worrying about relegation or are we going to be safe!
We're about as safe as Boris Johnson on a parliamentarian speed dating night

chaileyjem · Oct 21, 2018

Yes. Hull in 2014/15

After 9 games in ...

2016 - Hull (7), Boro (7), Sunderland (2)
2015 - Newcastle (6) Norwich (9) Villa (4)

Carlisle won their first three games in the top flight, but were relegated by a country mile in the end.

I remember that well. Their 3rd game was the feature game on Match of the Day and Jimmy Hill was chuffed for them. Well we all were I think.

I presume the op was speculating that 3 teams might challenge derbys record low PL points total.
No we're not safe but we've reached the magical "can't be as bad as Derby once were" 11 points in a PB.

Or rather "our goal threat was carried" yesterday... :down:

Anyway, what a daft thread. I can't believe I've just read it, and am now posting on it! punish:

They had the equivalent of 14 points after 9 games in 1974.

Well, I have carefully read this thread and I still don't know if we're safe.

I'm worried now. :shootself

Answer is no

......with, IIRC, the last test cricketer to play in the top division of English football in their midfield.

No.

OzMike · Oct 21, 2018

Ask again after 29 games.

GT49er · Oct 21, 2018

We are in the fantastic position of being able to secure safety by the half way point of the season - just win the next ten on the trot, that'll be 41 points from 19 games; then the players can train surf and go on the lash for the second half of the season........

gripper stebson · Oct 21, 2018

Key from now is not to lose against the teams who are struggling.

Sorrel · Oct 21, 2018

One more point and we're safe from the worst ever Premier League points total.

Cheshire Cat · Oct 21, 2018

We did this at a similar time last year, and the answer is still no.

No. Arnie Sidebottom played in the top division after Chris Balderstone. It's true that he wasn't a test cricketer then, but neither was Balderstone when he was in the 1st division.

Fairy nuff. But at least Balderstone played a whole test match!

2010/11 Blackpool had 25 points at Christmas. Relegated on 39 points.

Proportionally yes from me
