We wouldn't even need Palace to beat Stoke. If we win two games, Stoke can do whatever they like; they won't be catching us.
True. In which case, they can beat Swansea or not, and the third spot depends (probably) on Huddersfield beating Arsenal.
You can see the difference, Stoke are organised and so are palace, but Stoke have no quality whereas Palace have 3 or 4 good players. Similar to us, no real star quality and that's not good enough over the course of the season.
Well the first half has happened (as based on the alternative option in brackets). Now for the second half. Unfortunately, Stoke failing to draw today means that the four of us can't now all finish on 34 points.
It's a five goal swing that WBA would require on the last day btw, between us and them, given those circumstances (given that a draw on Tuesday would obviously mean no change in our GD). A five goal swing is actually a realistic possibility, unlike the ten-plus goal swing that Swansea would require, should we win on Tuesday.
Well me and my wife in our wisdom are flying to Tenerife on Tuesday and coming back Sunday afternoon!
Going to Los Gigantes as we hit the hottest week of the year, yeah great planning! And, our results follow, its what they do. There's no escaping. -Right, I'm going to work now, to escape thinking and talking about football. Amen.
Usually the manager of the month curse results in you immediately losing a football match. Not immediately getting relegated!
On another note, if Swansea go down then us and West Ham will have the joint longest stay in the PL outside the top 7. Mental that really, are they days of decade long stays over for smaller clubs?
