[Albion] Stoke, Southampton, Swansea & Huddersfield. Remaining Fixtures.

[Weststander]

Gary Neville called that right. Poor keeping by Ederson.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

1-2 should be 2-2

 

[Weststander]

1-2 should be 2-2

Sterling's miskicks prevented this being 4-0, before West Ham even got to the other end of the pitch

 

[GT49er]

We were safe weeks ago, and YOU know it!

No we weren't, and we aren't now - we are probably safe, but nothing more, and a plague on those who tempt the fates by prematurely proclaiming that we are safe already!


On the other hand, looking up instead of down for a while, there was a lot of talk during yesterday's south coast derby at St. Mary's about Plucky Little amazingly finishing above Saints for the first time since lor' knows when and being the top team on the south coast. They're one point ahead of us, just one..........a couple of fluke results and it could be us! Plus, we're only a point behind Palarse - with a game in hand!
Finish above those two? - well, I can dream, can't I? - at least until that too, along with relegation, becomes mathematically impossible.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

1-2 should be 2-2

Now 1-3.

 

[BensGrandad]

1-3 to City now, beaten to the post by Thunder Bolt West Ham only 3 points above the 3rd relegation spot so it is possible.

 

[Weststander]

Sterling brought down by Cresswell's momentum, obvious pen in real time and slow mo. Neville and commentator called it correctly.

Shocking by the officials.

You can see why no English officials are going to the WC. So many errors in their game.

Spurs v Watford tomorrow.

A Watford loss would be most welcome - as then a draw v Man Utd would put us above them ( and Bournemouth, incidently).

 

[Triggaaar]

Not really, but there still is a set of circumstances to give us pause to thought. Unlikely, but still very possible. Many of us on here has been supporters long enough and seen enough to know we shouldn't rest until we're really safe.

Indeed.

I've said all season that we'd go down, but I suspect we probably would have been safe on 34 points

I'd think we'd go down with 34

 

[GT49er]

I'd think we'd go down with 34

Nailed on, I would think.

 

[perseus]

The only real sensible permutation is that we need to match Swansea & Southampton next week. If they both lose (or Swansea lose and Southampton draw), we're definitely safe because of their game against each other.

But if we don't it goes to the wire.

 

[DavePage]

We have three more draws to end the season, we are safe

Watford, Bournemouth, Palace still not safe yet, either - hopefully Watford get stuffed at Spurs tonight.

Yes they are safe. To many teams between that lot

We are *pragmatically safe* as well. This is about *mathematical safety*.


40 points is the current *mathematical safety target*

 

[Publius Ovidius]

OK Dave time to nail your true colours to the mast. If it had to be BHA or Huddersfield taking the final relegation spot, who would you want to stay up

As you know me, I actually find that quite insulting.

Is that true? No English officials going to the WC. That is a really sad indirement of the premier league if correct.

Yep. Clattenberg probably would've gone if he hadn't bailed out to the Middle East but no-one else in the frame.

But if they aren't it will give a big boost to Chelsea and make sure they don't lose focus against hudds.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Indeed.

I still think 34 will save someone, probably on GD.
