Just take a quick look at these And see if those down low, with ease, Will pick up the wins To help save their skins None of them look to have a breeze And although to score the two score In points, most say will win the war, I´m not sure this year If three will get there From these five down near the trap door. Wigan 25 - 19 pts: league games remaining A. Villa (h), Swansea (h), Norwich (a), W.

Brom (a), Spurs (h), Chelsea (a), Stoke (h), Man C (a) All of which leads me to wonder if we may not already be very close to safety, certainly with the points we´ve got, there´s no reason not to try and extend the FA Cup run we´re on at the moment. The Budweiser FA Cup Final between Norwich City and ??? would have a nice ring to it, you must admit.
Thought much the same myself RBF. I don't want to tempt fate but I realistically can't see any of the bottom 5 stringing a minimum of 5 wins together just to close the gap with City. However, another 1 or 2 wins in our back pocket would make me feel a little easier
Much has been written,in prose and in verse About how to avoid the relegatory curse. Some say the points needed are forty or more Personally I say,just thirty plus four. That will suffice in my humble esteem To put you above the eighteenth placed team. And down at the bottom with all the dead men The names that so easily come to my pen. There's Hughes and Martinez and only one more It would have been Mic Mac,but that was before. Those renegade Brummies made him walk the plank So we know who the team is,but his name remains blank.
I certainly wouldn't want to be in their position, any of them! It really does make our position look so much better!
Cruyff´s Turn, my friend We agree no end Although it tempts fate to say so, Let´s hope quite soon And well before June Our ticket´s booked for next year´s show. OTBC
From early on I've always thought 38 points would be enough. Latterly the gap to 18th place has been widening rather than narrowing, but with 13 games to go mathematical certainty is still a long way away. Judging from his recent comments, PL is determined to keep the squad focussed on that rather than anything less. Safe at 36 Points: Safe at 40 Points:
