Just watching Cardiff and they have the fight that we are a lacking  this season.

[Tubestationatmidnight]

We have  to pretty much show mid table form now till May to get to 40pts. Burnley will be fine. Really think it's us or Brighton for the last spot and it doesn't really even matter. We did scrape survival then it will be the same or worse next season. 

[binnsy]

IIRC from this time last season to playing West Ham just before xmas we only gained 9 points,  if we want to stay up i think we need to pick up 6 wins from our next 11 games to stand a chance (then spend big in Jan and have a similar 2nd half of season to last!!)

need to win 1 out of every 3 at least now

[BlackandWhite]

As long as Ashely is here it is only a matter of when not if we get relegated again.

 

Even if we somehow manage to stay up this season we’ll be back starting at square one next season again and for every season until we get the relegation we’d deserve.

 

I have lost a lot of interest after that woeful summer. There is just no hope for anything and nothing get excited for. Maybe others will beg to differ, but being knocked out of the first round of cups and aiming for 17th doesn’t fill me with excitement.

 

At least back in the day if we had a shite season there was a least a little hope at the start of the season that we could do alright. No such hope exists anymore. All that exists now is fear of another relegation and I am sick of that.

[Guest chopey]

Ashley's chronic lack of investment has meant that the squad today is actually worse than when Rafa first arrived on that basis alone we must be favorites to go down, I'm still confused as to why Rafa hasn't walked tho.

[Paullow]

After Huddersfield and Cardiff, who are those who are less than say a 7 realistically expecting us to finish above?

[ToonArmy1892]

Southampton and/or Fulham.

 

Think Hughton will see Brighton safe.

 

We need Southampton to not sack Hughes, but they probably will.

[Tubestationatmidnight]

Aye Hughes will go and they will get a good manager and be fine.

 

Brighton should be ok.

 

We would be banking on Fulhams awful away from continuing all season to have a chance, if it actually mattered if course

 

Ashley is clearly going to cost himself 100m of next years tv money and a drop in gates and revenue of 15,000 a week next season for god knows how long. I don't think we will be back for a good while if we do go down

 

Strange strange man

[samptime29]

Think Cardiff and Huddersfield are down.

 

Between us, Southampton, Brighton IMO.

 

The games after the break are absolutely vital. We have to get at least 4 points from Brighton/Southampton double header or we're in massive, massive trouble.

[AsprillasShinPad]

Think Cardiff and Huddersfield are down.

 

(and) we're in massive, massive trouble.

 

Totally agreed.

Failing to see how five points in 2008/09 minus two points in 18/19 equals seven points?

morla can't do maths.

[Raconteur]

Perhaps we've been so bad the Premier League is taking points off us? That would please Sky

[geordiedean]

A third relegation man

 

If this happens and I'm pretty certain it's going to then we will have been relegated 7 times in our history....3 under this utter cunt

It would be like someone taking over Spurs now and relegating them 3 times in 11 years

Southampton have got a couple of decent goalscorers in Austin and Ings. Brighton, Huddersfield and Cardiff are the only clubs with poor enough squads to keep me optimistic.

[ToonArmy1892]

We do have a VERY good run of fixtures after Man Utd like, as you'd expect but the pressure will be firmly on to pick up points.

Southampton's home form is absolutely minging like. I honestly wouldn't rule them out. Especially if Ings or Austin pick up an injury.

Hughes is a shite manager like.
