ewerk 26292 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Just about but I if the next three games go as badly as I think they will we'll still be down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Too many teams below us now to need to worry, but a defeat today followed by the arse on monday adn we could have been looking in deep shit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Should be safe now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3977 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Should be but I only feel any confidence about beating Watford. In that case 43 (or 44) should just just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw's Juggernaut 0 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 We are safe now. We have 6 games left. The optimist in me says we can get 9/10 points out of them. The pessimist says 3/4. Either way, we wont get drawn into the relegation mire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds 0 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Beating Sheff Utd today means we'll finish above them. Can't see Charlton getting 9 more points than us in the next 6 games. We're safe. Virtually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen 0 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Given that we're now in the top half, I would be very surprised to see us go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 We we're always going to get at least 3 points (probably more) from the matches left IMO, despite the "half the table is in a relegation fight" hysterics of last week. So I suppose it is still technically possible we could be relegated, but really it's no more likely than it was before the Sheff game. Just the Sheffield game was one of the easier ones to get the full 3 points and of course getting points sooner is better (for the nerves) than later. But I still think we've got a few winable games left and hopefully can draw a few of the difficult ones. So really I'm just hoping for a finish as high up the table as we can with NO more injuries.

NJS 3977 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 But I still think we've got a few winable games left and hopefully can draw a few of the difficult ones. Arsenal - bear with a sore head after yesterday - no chance of a win Pompey - with their home record/or record there and the boost of yesterday? - no chance. Chelsea - not playing in plimas like last year - no chance. Reading - hard to say but doubtful. Blackburn - inconsistent - if we hit them on one of their good days then no chance. Watford - THey'll be down but never trust a dead dog. I'm usually an optimist but honestly don't see "a few winable games" - we have to rely on Wigan and Sheff U ending poorly to be sure.

There's 2 or 3 games there that we are quite capable of winning, and we could grind out a draw in the others. However Nerwcastle being Newcastle we could lose every single one, but I just don't see it happening. But yes even before yesterdays win, to be relegated not only do we have to do amazingly badly, but also many of the teams below have to do amazingly well, which is why it was never likely to happen IMO (especially as some of those really in the relegation scrap have some tough fixtures too).

khay 8 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Using the BBC predictor - The Goal difference is a bit off as it was more a case of win, lose or draw. However Man U would still win on goal difference in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
