I don't like the thought of a Stoke win. They've got quite a few winnable games to come, so 3 points at the weekend would be bad. A draw would be ok, and if SCC win and overtake us, there are other clubs that could go down instead of them. I think a draw is best at this stage.
Of course, but I don't fancy working out all the fixtures left and the results from the first half of those fixtures and then applying them, given that the results would be fairly meaningless.
Just a little titbit for all you predictors:
We have 10 games left, and in the reverse fixtures of these 10 games, we got 3 points. They were from 3 home games against clubs outside the top 6. We only have 2 such games left.
Generally a fair point...
Stoke, yes, but WBA - no. It's not recent form/position - they've only won 1 game in the last 26. They've brought in a manager who has completely failed, and their players have gone on a piss-up and been accused of stealing a taxi while drunk. The ones that haven't been...
But how the hell have you got Palace on 31 points? Their last game of the season will be against an already relegated and managerless West Brom, that should be 3. And they're playing Hudds, Bournemouth, us, Watford, Leicester and Stoke. 4 points from those 7 games is ridiculous. As well as the...
That's not particularly pessimistic. We'd all take a draw against Arsenal, and a draw away to Everton would be decent too. I assume Everton will be stronger favourites to beat us, than we will be to beat Hudds. I don't think your predictions are bad, could well be spot on, but I wouldn't call...
I can't believe some of you are predicting 3 teams will be on 32 points or less, so I guess I'd better have a go myself. Back in a min.
