    14 PL games till the end of the year now... the more I look at them the more I worry about our ability to pick up points.....
    Here's what I think we'll get... just cut and paste your guesstimates....

    Stoke City (a) 0 Points
    Swansea City (a) 0 Points
    Leicester City (h) 3 Points
    Spurs (a) 0 Points
    Liverpool (h) 0 Points
    West Brom (a) 1 Point
    QPR (h) 1 Point
    West Ham (a) 1 Point
    Burnley (a) 1 Point
    Chelsea (h) 0 Points
    Arsenal (a) 0 Points
    mackems (h) 0 Points
    Manchester United (a) 0 Points
    Everton (h) 1 Point

    8 Points from 14 plus the 3 from 5 games thus far means we will be on 11 points at the half way stage.

    Basically dead and buried.


    Jeesus it looks a tough run till the end of 2014....

    So we've got predictions of:

    a. doom
    b. knife edge survival
    c. comfortable obscurity


    that's settled then

    13 for me +3 = 16 ... jeez that's depressing (I even put us down for a draw against the mackems, as AP 'can't' lose 4 on the hop and he doesn't know how to win it)

    Still going to only look at the table at the beginning of November and hope there are at least 3 teams worse than us by then to get a better idea of the rest of the season

    This basicall what I was saying in a post a few days ago. I looked at the mackems stats from 2003. They finished with 19 points, 4 wins and a GD of -64. We will not be far off this total. I had us down for 27-33 points for the season. At the current rate we are averaging 0.75pts per game. I cant see that changing much. Looking at the next 7 games we will be lucky to get 6 points. Goddbye and goodnight to the Premier League..

    11 points and that is me being really generous. Jesus, when you look at like that it really is f**ing terrifying.

    Don't know why everyone thinks we will beat Leicester at home. They look a lot better team than us right now.

    It just shows what a sorry state we are in when Stoke City, Swansea City, Leicester City, West Brom, QPR, West Ham and Burnley are now considered as a tough run for us. I fear we will be in a relegation scrap for the whole season. Our only hope appears to be relying on the fact that there are three teams worse than us. I cannot think of three.

    Looking at your first 5 fixtures on the list, I agree with them all except Leicester. I think Leicester will do us over, they look a tidy outfit and play pretty decent football.

    Should we get 0 points from that game, along with the other 4, surely the fat man cannot continue with AP in charge?

    If we are in the bottom 3 at Christmas with less than 20 points he has to go in my book

    13 points, plus 3 from previous games = 16 points by halfway.

    Relegation.

    It's a pity that there is always someone who has to be negative whilst holding a half empty glass!!
