Arsenal away next up will be seen as an unlikely place to get a result although they may be able to poo house a draw (they've been good at that). I think our game at Selhurst Park will then be seen as the must win. If we win that, we jump them in the table and they are in big poop. I dont think they pull the trigger till then. 1
Bazly Posted 16 March 2023 Posted 16 March 2023 How many goals in the last 5 games? Lots conceded but that is about it. with a team that has won 7 with the other 19 lost or drawn its not always easy to see where the next point is coming from. With only goal difference holding LC above a relegation slot and sporting the worst form of the bottom 6 clubs its like we threw the dice and are now riding the snake.

The reality from the last 6 games is below. Brentford in the top 5 and Leeds, Forest and Palace are the bottom 3. Sure, last 4 games would show a different picture! Love seeing Newcastle bottom 4 in this. Â Edited 16 March 2023 by Chelmofox

When the margins have been tight we’ve fell the wrong side of it every time. There’s going to be so many tight games in the run in and no evidence we’ll get anything from them. Yeah thats a bad sign, shows weak mentality, we can win when we dominate, but thats it.

Grim scenario whatever the outcome We probably do need a reset which will mean relegation, the sad side of it though is we wont have managed what palace and southampton did with their current long runs in the EPL, but we did win some trophies whilst they didnt so it was a fun ride. If bourne is right though, not only is it alarming that those who run the club cannot recognise the problems, but also shows their ambition is gone, because even if we do stay up it shows they now happy with 17th.
ftfagos Posted 16 March 2023 Posted 16 March 2023 19 hours ago, The whole world smiles said: Huge results in our favour tonight!  Foxestalk is far too hysterical. Yes we are very much in a relegation but so are 8 other teams no way are we dead certain for the chop. We have maddison, Barnes and Tilemans we now also have a game in hand over 4 teams and we have points on the board to 4 teams.  We are. Currently 4 to 1 to go down and that feels about right to me. Lump on that 4/1 now. You need to put on enough so that it hurts to lose it. If you’re not sure just double the stake. If we’re relegated then you have something to cushion the blow. If we’re not you’ve just bought our survival - you, me and perhaps another 300,000 odd will be very grateful. I confess to having put a wad on Spurs to win the PL in the dying days of 2015/16. Best money I’ve ever spent. Made a lot of people very happy. 1

Considered it at 8/1 before that game but was convinced we would beat them. Another heart ruling head syndrome, silly me.
Dan Posted 16 March 2023 Posted 16 March 2023 We're not down but we're currently looking the worst of all of them for me. We've got to pray we get some more wondergoals.

Lambert09 Posted 16 March 2023 Posted 16 March 2023 Looking at the teams left in the conference league there’s a very good chance west ham go all the way.  Not sure the tired points teams tend to give away because of these ties will be too welcome in a relegation fight.  Might go down in style by winning it.Â

Spiritwalker Posted 17 March 2023 Posted 17 March 2023 Palace sacking Viera and bringing back Hodgson seems madness to me.

ceredigion Posted 17 March 2023 Posted 17 March 2023 Anyone remember Billy McNeill in the 1986/87 season. He began the season as Manchester City manager but quit a few weeks in to take over at Aston Villa and both Man City and Villa were relegated to Division Two. And guess who was the third team to go down with them. Yes that's right, it was us.
Lambert09 Posted 18 March 2023 Posted 18 March 2023 (edited) this could honestly be an awful year to go down as well.  you lose a strong burnley but then possibly just a shef u and maybe a millwall or luton. 3 small teams will drop to league 1.  We go down potentially with southampton, who would hold on to most other than JWP and lavia. ready made for a promo push imo. Plus a bmouth or another bigger club.  oursleves and west ham would probably be dismantled big time.  then if you look below, you could get ipswich, shef w and maybe derby all refreshed and likely to look up rather than down.  Would not be a smooth transition at all. complete recipe for disaster.  Southampton, Watford, bmouth, shef w, midlesborough, blackburn, norwich, west brom  Wouldn’t go in confident at all. Edited 18 March 2023 by Lambert09
