Varadi Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Right! Lets be positive, where are we picking up points the rest of the season? Points against Liverpool and QPR I reckon. Hopefully be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieT Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Probably less likely after today tbh. Barring something miraculous happening in Wigan's remaining fixtures, we are near enough safe. Absurd that it has come to this mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 4 point should see us safe now. I think we'll get two more, meaning Wigan will need to win 3 out of 5 games. Tough ask for them, but entirely possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Wigans remaining games: SAT 20 APR West Ham Utd Barclays Premier League A 3.00pm Lost this today. SAT 27 APR Tottenham Hotspur Barclays Premier League H 3.00pm SAT 04 MAY West Bromwich Albion Barclays Premier League A 3.00pm TUE 07 MAY Swansea City Barclays Premier League H 7.45pm TUE 14 MAY Arsenal Barclays Premier League A 7.45pm SUN 19 MAY Aston Villa Barclays Premier League H 4.00pm Wigan got some really tough games left, and a FA cup final. Hope to fuck we got more than 3 points on them come the last game. (i think we will stay up, and i'd take 17th easily right now.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 There's always one team that looks safe at this stage but then sinks like a stone to the bottom at the end of the season. let's hope it's not us this time. Reckon if anybody does that this year it will be Stoke, how they have dropped since the new year is ridiculous really. Teams like that usually bully their way to a good result when the going gets tough though. I can't see them going down tbh. It'll either be Stoke or Norwich, both have been dropping down alarmingly for several games already where as we've being picking up enough points to keep us in a similar position in the table. Teams don't usually look safe with 5 games to go and then drop like a stone, in fact no team has ever been relegated from the Premier League after being 13th at this stage in the season. Ouch! Stoke and Norwich both won Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 If we finish below a Wigan team that is 6 points behind us now, with them having to play 3 games a week in early May, one of them being a cup final.....then we really deserve to go down.

ponsaelius Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 So are qpr and reading officially down? Surprised ssns didn't make a big deal of it. They're not. 36 points is the maximum both teams can get. Wigan are on 31 and Aston Villa are on 34. We are on 37 so we are 'safe' from finishing 20th or 19th.

AfroP Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Honestly cant see where we would get the points we need to be safe from the games remaining especially with this tactically inept douche as a manager arry is probably bending remy over the settee in front of the telly watching our games and busting a nut at the prospect of giving us a thrashing fat sam is doing a gay love train with nolan and carrol just itching to give us a hammering(no pun intended.... ok maybe a little one) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 QPR's loss today could work both ways for us, they are virtually down now, they know that that was a game they had to win today, in their minds now surely they are down and all they have to play for is try not to finish bottom. That could make our game a little easier against them or it could have the reverse effect of freeing them from all the pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke and Norwich both won I said IF any teams that looked safe drop like a stone it would be one of those two, not that those two were definitely going to be relegated or couldn't win a game. Maybe you should read the post you replied to initially for context. I did think Stoke were probably in worse shape then Wigan though, and I might have been wrong there. Though Stoke still only have two wins this year, that's their first away from home, let's hope this is a blip . I certainly didn't expect them to beat QPR, arry's mob might have given up, hopefully that's the case. Anyway, full of shock results today, I mean Newcastle got a point, apparently people couldn't see where the next point was coming from, mystery solved. Notice its started again already though "where's our next point coming from?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 2 or 3. Pretty unlikely that both Wigan and Villa will take over us, while also remaining below Stoke and mackems who we're level on points with, in just 4/5 games. It could happen, but I think a mathematician on it would give it pretty slim odds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ItalianMagpie Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Unfortunately we're different from any other normal team, Stoke were in a horrid form and still went down to already-on-holiday QPR and beat them, as expected (or maybe not). We go to already-on-holiday WBA and we can't do better than a fucking point We simply can't win away games, it's even ridiculous still hoping for that. I'm terrified at the thought of us not winning any other game till the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
