Rethink.  The competition we enter at the start of the season consists of 38 games and we know in advance that we have no chance of winning it since the top 6 clubs will dominate everything.  The only excitement is the possibility of finishing mid-table (yawn).

But…we now have a REAL competition.  The bottom seven teams ALL have the possibility of survival or relegation.  Let us, for the moment, listen to the Devil’s Advocate and say that Leics will win all their remaining 7 games; Burnley will win all their’s (except the one against Leics); QPR win all their’s….etc,etc…BUT The Albion loose all their remaining games!!!  Then the table could end up like this:-
Newcastle and Everton      50pts
Villa                                        47
Leics                                       46
Sund                                       44
Hull                                         43
Burnley                                   41
QPR                                         38
WBA                                        33
 
An extreme possibility as this includes all the top teams being systematically beaten by these struggling teams but…..Leics have only Chelsea to face with all the rest of their games clearly winnable.  Whereas The Albion have a nightmare run-in.  In fact, it makes me wonder what the current odds are for Leics to survive the drop..might be worth a flutter?  In all seriousness though I think the final points table will be very, very close and therefore more interesting than the rest of the season put together.
