Crazy that Norwich had 25 points after 17 games. They really might be the team to save us.

 

It is remarkable that sides like Norwich, Fulham and Southampton, teams who people labelled safe weeks and weeks ago, are now not safe.

 

Our manager said we were safe in March. :lol:

I thought you were safe as soon as the January window closed.

 

I compared it to our near total lack of activity and felt suicidal.

Even you're not safe. If as expected you lose to Chelsea, Wigan beat Swansea but lose to Arsenal and some how we beat QPR and Norwich beat West Brom at home then you could go down if you lose to Wigan.

You have a positive manager though. That's worth way more than a January shopping spree.

The way Villa are playing can see them winning that last game. It might come down to Wigan nicking a point or something ridiculous at Emirates...It's the kind of side they love playing.

I think we're safe with goal difference. Even if we lose to QPR and Wigan win tomorrow, Arsenal wil beat wigan by a decent margin which would get us out the relegation zone without even playing. Last day we lose to Arsenal but Villa also beat Wigan. We're safe.

 

Fucking hell, one of the craziest posts I've read for a long time.

Just beat QPR - we're not getting one bit of help off the other teams at the moment. 3 on the trot that have gone against us and it could soon be 4.

 

Exactly, it all comes down to this. Beat QPR and cross the fingers, anything else doesn't bear thinking about.

Far from safe, you're right there.

 

But it's about probabilities. I just looked at RTG and they're talking about how they're safe. They're not, there are lots of teams who are not safe, so you look at what they need to do to make themselves safe, and you need to go to QPR and win.

 

No matter how shit your manager is, or how poor you've been for months now, that does not change the fact that you've got a really excellent chance to pick up three points.

 

Look at us, a little over seven days ago, we were looking the most likely to challenge Wigan to go down. A couple of wins and we've drifted to about 28-30 / 1 with the bookies.

 

There is next to nothing in it for lots of clubs, and three points make a huge, huge difference.

 

Of all the teams playing this weekend, who have an - on paper - easier chance to pick up three points than you?

All of them. We don't play for wins away from home.

However shit Pardew is, I think he knows he needs to go for a win here.

Not sure what the players are supposed to do when they are not allowed past the half way line.  :lol:

 

Any player who isn't designed for Stoke would look shit under this manager, whether they cared or not.

 

Obviously it doesn't help but tracking their players, stop rushing to the ball and getting easily bypassed by selling yourself daftly, being positionally switched on, don't bottle challenges whilst regularly doing the complete opposite, amongst other things would be a start.

This stuff about players being told not to run in the box is complete utter bollocks and just another way to dig something against the manager.  The players are tactically not good enough to know when to make runs into the box.

I think people are being overly negative about the QPR match, there were some positives from that West Ham game. Play like that again and I think we'll get the win, especially against a worse team.

West Ham were utter shite on Saturday tbf and still created much more than us.

Get in there, just saw we have more goals scored than Norwich.  So we both draw (or lose) this weekend, and we lose 2-0 to Arsenal, them 3-0 to City (or equiv) and we're safe :D

 

(also noticed we're one goal off having joint-worst defence in league :anguish:)

Just out of interest what happens if two teams have exactly the same points and g/d?

 

I presume it comes down to result between teams?

 

Just did the BBC Sport prediction thing and Norwich go down. We finish 17th on exact points and g/d.

 

:scared:
