They do, but they have Leicester and Huddersfield at home. Win one of those, and nick a point elsewhere and probably safe tbh.
I think this too. If I was a Brighton fan, given what happened on the last day of last season, I think I would remain overly nervous. Especially if they lose a few on the bounce.
FWIW, apparently historically a correlation which stands out is that when the champions achieve a higher points total there tends to be a lower total required to stay up. Man City look good for a record points return, so if this association holds-up, we’ll be looking at around 35/36 points to be safe. Wouldn’t want to chance it mind!
Having a good week for me, over twice the average score, and smugly eyeing the, now in reach, top thirty. Reason for my confidence? Shaqiri, Laporte and VC Aguero at Stoke 2moz.... don’t even have any points on the bench I can benefit from. Boo!
probably further back, but the noise of goals/a good performance drawing you back and Stan the steward letting us sneak in for last ten minutes (or whole second half on one occasion).
It’s a fair point, actually. Stadium attendances probably mattered much more then. Suspect still mainly about TV money though and an owner with ambition, willing to put his hand in his own pocket/subsidise the current income.
You could give your soiled winnings ? to charity. Or maybe start a whip round for the staff from Union Street, Greggs, near the Palladium. I understand it is marked for closure due to falling takings from match days.
