The Premier League relegation run in

So, as I see it, a Southampton win on Tuesday would be the worst result for us. Working on the premiss, possibly wrongly as yesterday proved, that we won't get another point. The debate, on that other website, is would a draw be better than a Swansea win, as that would make both of them still equally in the mix, doubling the chance of a favourable result on the last day for us. Personally, I was definitely in the Swansea win camp, even though a draw would still mean Southampton needing to beat City. So I guess it makes Southamptons position the same either way, and we would have the backup of Swansea not winning against Stoke. So as I type, I may be changing to the draw preference! Even repeating Sundays heroics at the bridge would not see us safe as both could theoretically get 4pts each from their remaining games, putting them both on 37pts with a better goal difference! Best get the win v Chelski then, which would make us safe even in the event of a Southampton win on Tuesday....I think! Huh

You're right in saying a Southampton win would be the worst result. However, a win for either of them means a point at Chelsea would make us safe. A draw for Saints and Swans would mean we need 2 points to be safe. We don't want to have to rely on Man City.
I think the best all round result would be a Swansea win. Then park the bus at Stamford Bridge. Big Grin

Just thinking again.......If we did get a point at the Bridge, it would mean, if there is a winner between Swansea and Southampton, then the loser cannot reach 37pts which we would be on. Never been so confused in my many years on this earth! Big Grin

Haha. Well at least we'll know what's needed when we arrive in our massive bus on Wednesday night.
I reckon we're going to replicate our play off pedigree and finish the season with three goalless draws. Big Grin

I'd take that with bells and whistles on right now, even if we smash the record for being nilled in the Prima Donna League.

So what do we want to see this week?. Let's assume Town don't get any points from Chelski or Arsenal......

Swansea v Saints ends a draw....that means both need to win on final day. Swansea v Stoke and Saints v Man City. Unlikely.
Swansea win. Means Saints have to beat Man City to put us down. Unlikely.
Saints win. Means Swansea have to beat Stoke on final day. More possible than not.
Another scenario......hear me out with this...it's complicated. Saints wallop Swansea 6-0. Their goal difference is -32. We lose our last 2 games by the odd goal. Our gd is -31. So if Swansea beat Stoke by 1 goal, and as long as it's not 5-4, then we stay up as we have scored more goals. Extremely unlikely.

And all that is assuming we don't get any more points. Form v Man City/Man Utd..unlikely. Form v Arsenal/Chelski/Liverpool/Spurs etc...extremely likely.
I need a lie down

Aye. Lie down, Shep. Laugh

theo_luddite · 08-05-2018, 16:52

Let's hope WBA finish above at least one of them, i.e. finish 3rd or 4th bottom. Also unlikely but so were several results over the last 2 weekend's

I'd love it if the Baggies survive. It means we've survived as well. Big Grin
