Forget the fixtures
Nobody thought we’d get a point at Liverpool. Literally everyone expected a cricket score.
So
Sunderland Away- on a massive high after Newcastle win and chasing European football
Brighton home- chasing European football
Wolves away - Yes they’ve improved, but this is a non negotiable must win, can’t see how we stay up if we don’t win this game
Villa away - chasing champions league football and have players that will likely rip our fragile defence apart, can’t see us getting anything
Leeds home- Absolutely must win, they’ve not scored in their last 4 league games, have punched above their weight IMO.
Chelsea away- I’m sure they’ll take great pity on our plight and absolutely won’t produce their best performance of the season out of nowhere.
Everton home- Could need to win to secure European football, Moyes saving West Ham and all that MEH.

One thing we absolutely need is Woolwich going into that West Ham game having not already won the league, if they are already champions we are totally screwed.
Who knows, maybe they enjoy taking six points of us every season and let us win.
“ There’s no one better we could have brought in in January than the players we have “These players who haven’t won a Premier League game in 13
People discounting Leeds and Forest are honestly living in some kind of fantasy land.
4 points separate the 4 teans, with West Ham's goal difference effectively meaning an extra point.
None of the 4 teans are either down or safe at present, and 3 weeks works more in our favour than it does for Forest for example.
Fair way to go.

He probably asked the Opta Supercomputer

about the chances of relegation and then went back to sleep.
I know predictions are a waste of time, but here are mine. I hope I'm being pessimistic. This would have us needing to win on the final day to have a chance of survival, but I predicted we'd lose anyway.
Spurs – 30 + 4 = 34 points
Wham – 29 + 7 = 36 points
The Leeds game is the decider. The Forest match was always a red herring.
I don't know why he wouldn't play for us in the champo.
If the worst happens that’s what we really need to hope happens.
We’ve had a soft underbelly for years and since Poch’s time we’ve gradually declined.
What we need is a hard reset from top to bottom and I think that only comes with ENIC selling up and with a new ambitious ownership.
I’m kind of hoping ENIC are losing their appetite for the aggro and someone like Staveley’s consortium come in irrespective of which division we’re in, looking to play the long game and make an appropriate offer.
That's about right and just a construct of confidence. It's brittle at best and so it should be.
My hope is that 3 wees away from playing in the PL and with some players experiencing that winning feeling with their international teams will help us.
That we may get a couple of players back snd that we find something.
Predicting outcomes of games is folly and heightens disappointment when we lose, which is natural.
It's less at this stage about any ism, and more about the reality that the 4 teams are under pressure and that means anything can happen..
We'll soon see how they cope with relegation.
I don't think you are wrong either, joking or not, I can't see where our next point is coming from. We are down, down.
I think we might beat Leeds at home, but that won't be enough.
Relegation with this level of spending and wage bill would be nothing short of a crime against football.
The Milesy avatar is rubbing off on you.
I'm shaving my head tonight and then spending a few hours writing down all the positives of the current situation
