The pin prick of light in the darkness has now gone up to a glimmer. Dare to dream. Another result has gone our way. We'll have to throw everything at Aston Villa and hope it's enough. At least now there's 3 teams (4 if you count Middlesbrough) shitting it on the last day of the season.

 

Sunderland now have a worse goal difference than Newcastle. That point against Fulham might have come in handy Howard Webb you bastard.

8.5

 

beat Villa and we're up

[chicago_shearer]

Basically back in our hands.  When was the last weekend that both Chelsea and Man Utd lost?

[Bad Mongo]

9. We're still shit.

[ChrisJbarnes]

this threads practically redundant now. who knows what will happen on sunday. no-one is the answer

[TaylorJ_01]

I'm still at 5. Argh.

[Guest Micktoon]

I'm not coming out of a dark ,quiet, alcohol filled room until it's over on Sunday.

[midds]

Assuming Boro are down - leaves 27 combinations of results from us, Hull and the shite. 11 of those combinations keeps us up.

 

Yes, I'm nervous. Yes, I'm boring. 

[GM]

So 16 of 27 results combinations would send us down?

 

I'm up to a 9.5 then.

[Guest neesy111]

sunday is going to be like a lottery, god know's what the betting would be lyk

[Ronaldo]

we're 7/10 to be relegated now

[Colos Short and Curlies]

In some perverse ways its a more straight forward task for us and Boro. We simply have to win. Hull and the Mackems will be stuck between stick or twist in terms of trying to defend for 90 minutes or going for the win.

 

I can see all 4 teams being in and out of the bottom three during the 90 minutes on Sunday, Jeff Stelling et al are going to have a heart attack.

 

(Still a 1 btw, like Frank Skinner/David Baddiel I still believe)

[Dave]

We don't have to win though.

[GM]

Probably best that we do win though, tbh.

[Dave]

Oh of course.

A draw will probably be enough for us IMO as I think Hull will lose at Man U. I doubt we'll be going all out for the win with this in mind.

I think they may well sneak a draw, or at least be holding out until the last 5/10 minutes. Looks like the 4th choice keeper may be playing for Man U.

 

 

[Troll]

It's back in our own hands now.  There's no way Man Utd and Chelsea will both lose, meaning a win is almost certain to keep us up.

 

In Villa's last 12 games, they've won one, drawn 5, lost 6.  Our form may be even worse, but we've still got something to play for.

[Dave]

Why do I get the feeling the other teams will lose and we'll fail to do our bit?

[Scottish Mag]

Because we are shit?

[Dave]

Good point.

[jimmymag]

we're 7/10 to be relagated now

 

And you've got us down as a 9/10, and as a betting man I'd assume that means you've been down to see your local bookmaker and availed yourself of, what you consider, to be a value bet.

[Ronaldo]

I've said it before, anything to soften the blow

[LoveItIfWeBeatU]

If you think of the season we've had it has to be seen as a miracle that we still have a chance of staying up.
