The Quick Brown Fox Posted 26 April 2015 Posted 26 April 2015 We could be in 16th position Tuesday night if hull lose by two or more goals. That would give the player's a boost for the chelsea game.
sdb Posted 26 April 2015 Posted 26 April 2015 Newcastle 39 Villa 39 Hull 37 Leicester 35 Sunderland 33 Burnley 33 QPR 32 Is how I see it. Would take it right now!!! There are upsets to come. We have to beat Newcastle.
yorksfox Posted 26 April 2015 Posted 26 April 2015 I honestly think that Burnley and QPR are down which is not overly helpful as Burnley still have to play Villa and Hull and I would want them totally committed for these games! Two wins should do for City but I do hope that we don't have a repeat of yesterday's line-up (I mean, Konchesky!!), tactics and performance at Sunderland as that could put us right in the mix again. Just when you think Big Nigel has learnt a few lessons he starts tinkering again..

Just when you think Big Nigel has learnt a few lessons he starts tinkering again.. When your multi-positional, multi-talented player of the season is out and one of your most hard-working creative players is out - you have to chnage your lineup. That's not tinkering. Who did you think would replace Konch with Schlupp out?

Just when you think Big Nigel has learnt a few lessons he starts tinkering again.. I wouldn't worry about Burnley and QPR's commitment until they are mathematically down. I'm sure they'll carry on until they have an R next to their name. Even then, they may play better with the pressure off.
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 26 April 2015 Posted 26 April 2015 Bare minimum, 2 more wins would mean Sunderland having to win 3 to overtake us - considering goal difference - and you can't see them winning 3 from that run in. And that's not considering Hull. So many permeations, and it'll change on a weekly basis I bet. A point v Chelsea and a win against Newcastle would set us up very nicely.

Nick Posted 26 April 2015 Posted 26 April 2015 I think despite Hull's win yesterday they are bang in trouble with that fixture list and to be honest I don't fancy QPR's or Sunderland's either! Ignoring form and betting just on the remaining fixtures I'd be thinking Burnley has the best chance of getting out of it, oddly enough.
v6rat Posted 26 April 2015 Posted 26 April 2015 Leicester WILL win 3 more games, 40 points, no worries.
desertfox2 Posted 26 April 2015 Posted 26 April 2015 This. I keep looking at Sunderlands run in and I can't see them getting many points at all, although people thought that last year. If we beat Sunderland I don't think they'll get more than 33 points. True but I can't see them doing it 2 seasons running. They were lucky to get a 2nd chance by staying up last year and they haven't improved at all. I was looking at their squad to see who I would like us to poach if they go down and there was nobody really. Let's face it we all know that we need to improve over the summer so if they have not even one player that you'd think I'd like us to sign him shows how poor they are. Adam Johnson is focked. Ricardo alvarez on loan there, has good pedigree but hasn't settled. Even rodwell damaged goods at the moment All the rest meh. defoe I wouldn't want us to sign even on a free. Short sighted and the wages huge. They are a poor side.

cc_star Posted 27 April 2015 Posted 27 April 2015 Hull will beat one of the big teams they still have to play. Sunderland know how to do the bare minimum and scrape out results to stay up. we have a huge task in front of us to beat them If Chelsea beat us & Newcastle benefit from the 'dead cat bounce' and we put in a poor performance seeing them beat us... then we'll have a herculean task to stay up - that's not beyond the realms of possibility, in fact it's quite likely to some extent or another
Finn Claw II Posted 27 April 2015 Posted 27 April 2015 I'd take our run in, our team and our current form over any of the bottom 5.
Rincewind Posted 3 May 2015 Posted 3 May 2015 Burnley (26 points): Hull (a) Stoke (h) Villa (a) QPR (27 points): Man City (a) Newcastle (h) Leicester (a) Sunderland (32 points): Everton (a) Leicester (h) Arsenal (a) Chelsea (a) Leicester (34 points): Southampton (h) Sunderland (a) QPR (h) Hull (34 points): Arsenal (h) Burnley (h) Tottenham (a) Man Utd (h) Villa (35 points): West Ham (h) Southampton (a) Burnley (h) Arsenal (a) How many points do we reckon we'll need to stay up? Newcastle? I think I have edited the points right.
Finn Claw II Posted 3 May 2015 Posted 3 May 2015 Assuming QPR and Bunley are gone, editted to make it a bit easier to focus on the 5 teams battling it out for survival: Sunderland (33 points) Everton (a), Leicester (h), Arsenal (a), Chelsea (a) Leicester (34 points) Southampton (h), Sunderland (a), QPR (h) Hull (34 points): Arsenal (h), Burnley (h), Tottenham (a), Man Utd (h) Newcastle (35 points) West Brom(h), QPR (a), West Ham (h) Villa (35 points): West Ham (h), Southampton (a), Burnley (h)
Foxes Blue Blood Posted 3 May 2015 Posted 3 May 2015 Newcastle? I think I have edited the points right. Sunderland have 33 points Newcastle 35 points West Brom (h) QPR (a) West Ham (h)
Finn Claw II Posted 3 May 2015 Posted 3 May 2015 For us to go down with 40 points (2 more wins) requires Newcastle, Villa, Hull to each win 2 games and Sunderland to win 2 and draw one. Even then it would go down to GD between us Hull and Sunderland....
Bryn Posted 3 May 2015 Posted 3 May 2015 Can't see Sunderland doing better than 36. We'll beat QPR to take 37 at least. Hull will do Burnley and get 37 at least. Newcastle won't win another game but might get a point. Villa win 2 of their 3 and go 41. So it'd come down to Toon or Mackem on GD.

Bilo Posted 3 May 2015 Posted 3 May 2015 Sunderland playing the four most in-form sides in the PL, three of them away.
weller54 Posted 3 May 2015 Posted 3 May 2015 Sunderland playing the four most in-form sides in the PL, three of them away. If Sunderland survive then my God they deserve to with that run in!!!!
FrankieADZ Posted 3 May 2015 Posted 3 May 2015 If Sunderland survive then my God they deserve to with that run in!!!! i dunno after the crap results they've had this year, they deserve to go down, regardless if they win with that run in. makes me feel a little better looking at the run ins like that I must admit, hopefully arsenal win by 2/3 goals tomorrow & we'll go up a place in the table
dayday Posted 3 May 2015 Posted 3 May 2015 Sunderland lose next week,we win,I think that's them done regardless if they beat us the following week.
urban.spaceman Posted 3 May 2015 Posted 3 May 2015 Assuming QPR and Bunley are gone, editted to make it a bit easier to focus on the 5 teams battling it out for survival: Sunderland (33 points) Everton (a), Leicester (h), Arsenal (a), Chelsea (a) Leicester (34 points) Southampton (h), Sunderland (a), QPR (h) Hull (34 points): Arsenal (h), Burnley (h), Tottenham (a), Man Utd (h) Newcastle (35 points) West Brom(h), QPR (a), West Ham (h) Villa (35 points): West Ham (h), Southampton (a), Burnley (h) Genuinely can't see Villa losing any of those (and I'll bet you they win the cup, too) Hull surprised us all by beating Liverpool but I think it would be a miracle for them to beat Arsenal, Spurs AND Man Utd. Sunderland did well yesterday but playing Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea amid us should hopefully prove too much. After yesterday's performance I genuinely can't see where Newcastle are going to get their next point from, let alone win. They were in total dissarray and not a single player looked like he wanted to be there, to such an extent that at least one almost certainly got himself sent off on purpose. Carver clearly hates his players and they clearly hate him - nobody wants to be there. As for us, Sunderland is the crucial game that we MUST NOT LOSE under any circumstances. We can beat both Southampton and QPR I think too. The last spot is either Sunderland's or Newcastle's I think. Hopefully the latter.
Rincewind Posted 3 May 2015 Posted 3 May 2015 It would be good if Sunderland and Newcastle played each other last day or dependant on results of each other. It will be chaos on Teeside.
