Yorkie Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 That being said, I can remember Hull City's record of W1 D6 L15 in the second half of 08-09 still being good enough to send us down. It's far from over but you'd think we should have enough, just about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not at all. Outside of those games they’ve three winnable games including ourselves. I think they’ll beat us unless they’re already down. If they can catch us we’ll get hammered in that game. But another game for them has passed with an L, maybe they really aren’t good enough to catch us if we win on Sunday? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky Jim Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Also don’t count out WBA yet...they have 3 winnable games in their next 4 against Southampton, Villa (without Grealish) and Wolves.....That could put them on 30 points...Lose Sunday and its all still up for grabs.

Decky Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 West Brom are down there for a reason though. They’ve four wins all season, they’re not gonna jump into Champions League form for the last few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give over Man with West Brom will you. Not a chance in hell they will get even anywhere near those 8 points. As for Fulham I said before the Villa game (without Grealish) that they were over rated by some on here and those two games have shown exactly why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If WBA beat Southampton at weekend which I think they will and we lose to Burnley and WHU...a win against Villa put them 2 points behind us....I don’t think it’s beyond the realms of possibility that they will win both games.

You obviously not been watching West Brom much this season then just because they had a one off game against a 10 man Chelsea (they were getting beat with 11) doesn't suddenly make them hit Champions League form. 21 points in 30 games tells it's own story.

The Prophet Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Fulham and Brighton have been overrated by a few on here going back a while. There's a reason they're down there, just like us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don’t think they are capable of winning 2 games in a row.....who’s talking about champions league form, a peculiar expression. Any team, even those in the bottom 3 could fluke 2 wins...I’m merely saying don’t discount them just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Fulham have fallen off a cliff lately, seemingly remembering how to lose. Their players looked crushed at full time, such a huge goal. I thought Wolves had no chance of a win tonight tbh. Bet Fulham beat Arsenal though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at they previous 3 results before Chelsea including us without Almiron, St Max or Wilson. To overtake 8 points they are going to have to show something like Champions League form, so no not a peculiar expression. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don’t believe they will have enough to overtake us, but I’m not blinkered enough to think we’re clear at the bottom yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning 2 games in a row doesn't take them above us, we are 8 points clear and are going to put points on the board, so yes they would then need to hit somewhere near Champions League Form to overtake us. Edited April 9, 2021 by et tu brute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 In a relegation battle between Fat Sam and Fat Steve, I know who my money is on. Obviously with an 8 point gap it's not a relegation battle, yet. But if WBA win at the weekend and we lose it might become one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Let’s face it if we go down this season it will be the most avoidable and disastrous relegation ever. Whilst ultimately Ashley is to blame for everything, let’s be in no doubt with the players at his disposal Bruce will go down as the biggest disaster in this club’s history. I still fear the useless arrogant cunt will keep us mired in this to the last game. Tomorrow is vital and without Lascelles and Hayden I worry our spine is being ripped out for the battle ahead. If the cunt makes that cretin Shelvey captain I really fear the worst for us. Edited April 10, 2021 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
