I have Sunderland to go down, but Newcastle had one hell of a thumping at Chelsea and look absolute crap at the back, they could well replace sunderland, and I have to say as bad as our defending has been this season, it was never as inept and bad as the Toon. Thank the football gods there are 3 worse teams than us..........
More games have past and looking at the run in then i have amended my choice to -: Swans norwich villa I may amend depending in what we and others do..
PREDICTED FINAL STANDINGS 15 – SWANSEA 38 16 – Bournemouth 37 17 – Sunderland 37 18 – Newcastle 34 19 – Norwich 32 20 – Aston Villa That's from WalesOnline Dai..................
Hope so but this is the paper that said we were mad to get rid of monk We need a hell of a turnaround and a good slice of luck to get anywhere near 38pts ...I can see 32 maximum so lets hope the WOL are right....
Looking very much like the final 3 are: Newcastle Norwich Villa Sunderland look to pull off another great escape, talk about 9 lives, we are still not safe yet though, depends if Guido's chest clears up I suppose.......
Some interesting relegation odds here. the best is though they have to be taking the piss with Gomis at 550/1 to finish top scorer in the Pl https://www.justbookies.com/premier-league-odds/?gclid=CMi9nKTArMsCFcrjGwodhHUN3Q
We really need to beat Villa next Saturday - we don't want to start looking over our shoulders again....
There is an outside chance we already have enough points . If West Brom beat Norwich this weekend then after Sunday's games someone , either Newcastle , Sunderland , Norwich have to make up 9 points in 8 games to get by us .None of them have averaged a point a game so far little on make up more than a point a game . That's with us not receiving anymore points the rest of the way , would take something special for us to get relegated .
The next 4 games will pretty much determine Newcastle's PL future - Sunderland, Norwich, Southampton, & Swansea 3 draws and a defeat (to Southampton) would leave them on 27 points after 33 games. Assuming we beat Viilla, and draw with Newcastle, we would be on 37points.
