Silly question: whilst a win virtually means we're safe, how does it confirm safety?

 

Cos there's no way Wigan and Villa can both get to 41 points as they have to play each other.

If we win we are on 41 points. Even if Wigan beat Arsenal they go to 38 points, with one game to play. Aston Villa are on 40. A draw or Aston Villa win, Wigan go down. Wigan win, Villa go down. This is not even taking into account Sunderland and Norwich.

Is there a reason why when we play Arsenal, mackems play Tottenham. When we play Man Utd, they play Man City. Etc.

 

Just makes logistical sense, they always have to make sure (for policing reasons) local rivals aren't at home on the same weekend so it's easier to kill two birds with one stone.

better yet, let's throw the game and lull the others into a false sense of security.

 

Relying on other teams beating rivals for us rather than getting points ourselves has worked so far, why mess with a winning formula.

Makes sense. Cheers.
