All about our results I know - it's in our hands. But how do you want this one to go tomorrow? Earlier on I had Swansea tipped for the drop but their situation is looking a bit better now. We could still catch them though. I'd like them to beat Norwich though as a couple more hammer blows there wouldn't go amiss. Get a couple of clubs adrift would be nice and hope that McClaren continues his work.
I'm afraid our friends the bookies don't fancy our chances of survival , but when did they ever. Villa 1 / 250 for the drop Us 4 / 11 Norwich 2 / 5 Mags Evens. 8 / 1 bar Man U 33 / 1 to win the league , and they still have to play Leicester , Spuds , and Citeh. If Utd win those three games it could be interesting.
The bookies are rarely wrong but to have us 4/11 and Mags evens, given recent improvements in our form, is a little odd. I said the other day that ot was us v swans v mags, but was well aware the Swans had picked up recently. The result the other night confirms it somewhat. Including them in the 3 was more hope than honesty. It looks like a straight fight between us and the mags now.
We blew a great opportunity at home to Palace. 1-0 up at half time against a team that had 1 point from last 8 league games. That's why we are odds on to go down.
I would prefer Swansea to beat Norwich, especially as their goal difference is by far superior. Am hoping B'mouth batter noocastle but can see it being a draw. Straight battle between us, Norwich and them up the road for the last 2 places unless someone else drops in the mix.
Swansea will not go down, they have that way of playing. It is only between us, Newcastle and Norwich now. That brake in Dubai was a failure though. The two wins we need will hopefully be at Newcastle and Norwich and maybe draws against WBA, Everton and Watford 33-34 points and goal difference will keep us up as none of us look like being able to win more than 2 games from the last 10/11. If Bournemouth lose to the mags and we win then things might be different.
Good price on the Mags. They're the dead certs in my eyes. I think it will be between us and Norwich. Mags are in complete turmoil with their only decent defender still out.
Thats how I see it , but you never know, I thought WBA would be involved, Swansea result was a real downer, and now both teams would look to be safe unless they implode.
You guys are safe now. Another 3 points might be enough. That win against Arsenal was massive for you guys.
