[Albion] Leicester v Southampton
- Thread starter Live by the sea
- Start date
Spot on. If the current relegation incumbents keep screwing up then it’s happy days. But...
Celebrating is a bit strong considering what we’re celebrating is the prospect of another season of few goals, moral victories and a huge influx of TV money that we’ll either not spend on anyone, or spend on someone six months too late.

Unfortunately not the case. 2 wins and a draw would almost certainly mean they finish above us if we lose all 4. Even if we lost them all by a single goal they probably still would. Wake up boy, simple maths
Despite the way it's coming across in my furious posts, I'm totally chilled. What I'm not, however, is jumping around celebrating, and that's what I want to be doing
Trig I’ll leave this with you, may calm you down.

If Swansea lose to Southampton it would mean Swansea would need four points from the Bournmouth and Stoke games (if we assume they get nothihg v Man City and Liverpool) assuming we lose all four remaining games, for them to finish above us and not need to reverse GD as well.

love it....and hopefully we will get the next 20 years are brighton will be relegated when we don't.

And if Man City beat them 4-0?
I bet you didnt think we'd be promoted till we got the draw at Villa.
Well just 2 wins, if they can get a draw against City.
You make me look like an optimist. I'm totally happy with just being an also ran in the PL. Winning every week against smaller clubs like Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday is great an' all, but we were operating at a loss and it wasn't sustainable.
Sadly I'm old enough to know that that means we're doomed.
If we lose 4 and they lose 3 and win 1, then making up a GD of 4 is not difficult, particularly given that we're going to Man City and Liverpool.

(Edit) But they play Man City (A) and Chelsea (H) as well

At their place... well they’d still probably have enough goals to turn around the 9 goal deficit with us losing 4 and them winning 2. We won’t finish ahead of them on GD if equal points - I’m pretty certain of that. Esp as we have Loooool & City away.

I was purely talking about saints...
No they don't. We both play City away. They play Chelsea at home, we play united. They play Bournemouth away, we play Burnley away. Even so far.
They play Southampton and Stoke at home, we play Liverpool away.
If it's between us and Swansea on the last day, and they're 3 points a 3 GD behind, we will be shitting ourselves.

Yes but for Saints to get the results everyone is talking about - it would mean beating Swansea away (they have only won 5 all season - 4 prior to Nov 2017) so Swansea could be dragged into it as they would then need 4 points to overall us (if we lose 4 games).

Of course, we might just sneak a point somewhere...
