Remaining Games - WillieJohnstonsGreenhouse - 11-04-2015
Well it's the arse-end of the season and time to have our annual look to see who's fighting to stay in the top flight.
After last season's bum-squeaker it looks a lot rosier for us this time around. Obviously not safe but if we can't get the points needed we deserve shooting.
Don't forget Newcastle could be easily be dragged into the equation.

Any statisticians out there? Some real 6 pointers in the mix. My head hurts trying to work out the possibilities and permutations.

We'll draw with Newcastle and draw (or more) against one of the big teams, leaving us with 35 points. We'll be 16th or 17th imo but we'll scrape safety, Hull are unlikely to catch us but the others could with their fixtures.
RE: Remaining Games - Worldclassalbion - 11-04-2015
If we honestly play like that 2nd half performance today we will not get another point. I would go as far as to say we wouldn't finish in the top half of the Championship playing like that. So embarrassing its unbelievable.
RE: Remaining Games - Zinman - 11-04-2015
Utter garbage yet again. Yes, the players have to take some blame but why bring on a central defender for a midfielder when we're being overrun in midfield? Why play so narrow when our "full backs" are being outnumbered out wide? We all criticised Irvine but Pulis needs 2 more points to beat his points per game ratio and I can't see this happening. We were never in the bottom 3 under Irvine, again I can't see us saying the same about Pulis. My worst fear for this season used to be getting relegated - now it's getting relegated and keeping Pulis in charge. I don't want another season with no pace, no width, no creativity and,based on the last few weeks, no bottle.

Sorry folks, I posted this pre-game and to be honest I couldn't give a toss at the moment. a thread for another day.

Thanks to the crap performances and the 'confusing' substitutions by TP I cannot see us getting more than 2 points (and could see us not getting any more) it is going to be squeaky bum time right up to the last day. I can see Villa, Burnley and Leicester all going above us. We are relying on Sunderland, Hull and QPR being as bad as us for the rest of the season.
RE: Remaining Games - WillieJohnstonsGreenhouse - 12-04-2015
Agree with Somerset - there's a very real chance we won't get another point this season (based on recent performances). Hoping we can nick a couple of draws but not confident.
Worst case scenario - we finish on 33pts.
Villa (currently 32pts) - will finish above us with ease
Sunderland (29) - similar to us, and will struggle
Hull (28) - similar run in to us. No chance. Gone
QPR (26) - can't see them beating 33pts. Gone
Burnley (26) - tricky one. Playing well and could end up above us
Leicester (25) - see Burnley
It's gonna be bleedin' close AGAIN. I think Hull & QPR are gone and it may come down to us and Sunderland for the third spot.
Still a way to go and it's a funny old game..............
Why do they do this to us - bast8rds!!!!
RE: Remaining Games - Beefy 1965 - 12-04-2015
QPR better team at the moment
0-0 stats QPR 11 shots Chelsea 5 having a real go Mmmmmmm
Few Chelsea score right at the end !!!!!!!!!!! 0-1

Is it: (A) Us?
No it's (B)..A quote from the Beeb
Liverpool 2-0 Newcastle
Posted at 77 mins
This defeat - you can't see them staging a comeback - will leave Newcastle just nine points clear of the bottom three. On this form it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility for them to go pointless.
If that doesn't rally our boys I will stop feeling like sh*t every weekend and go and watch Hummingbirds in Cradley Heath
