Imagine if both is and Spurs go into the final game needing a just a point for survival and the title.

Never thought of it like that...

Aye, we'd stil fucking lose.

Imagine the shit storm leading up to it and then the shit storm if it was a draw.

What would the FA do to make sure the two sets of players actually go for the game?

I imagine they'd do nothing, partly because I think they'll be desperate for Spurs to win it ahead of Leicester.

Possibly, but in that case wouldn't they prefer a Spurs win which means they don't have a shit storm coming their way and they still get Spurs as champions?

Arsenal play Norwich as well don't they? twice we are going to have to rely on the unreliable. :lol:

 

They akways start winning whenever their 4th spot is threatened though :lol: They only seem to bottle games when they still have a chance of going for the title.

This is what I have after the following -

 

Newcastle - v C Palace (H) WIN. v Villa (A) WIN. v Spurs (H) DRAW.

 

Sunderland - v Arsenal (H) LOSS. v Stoke (A) DRAW. v Chelsea (H) LOSS. v Everton (H) DRAW. v Watford (A) WIN.

 

Norwich - v Arsenal (A) LOSS. v Man Utd (H) LOSS. v Watford (H) WIN. v Everton (A) LOSS.

Not unrealistic imo.

 

Anything less than wins against Palace or Villa though and we are down.

7 just for the fact I think the last games could be anything but we have the two most winnable games, so slightly lower than 1 in 3 chance. Sunderland have the slight edge.

2 winnable games maybe the most winnable but I would not be shocked in the slightest if Sunderland won 3 out of that set of fixtures, stoke chelsea and watford on holiday, whatever the hells going on with Everton and players who are going to euros are hardly going to go all out

Could really do with Arsenal winning by 5 or 6 too, to start eating in to that huge GD advantage the mackems have. But that's asking too much I guess, need them to beat the unwashed first. Just have a feeling it'll all go down to GD in the end.

I'm just happy to see that the pundits are starting to waver. All of them were backing Sunderland unreservedly a week ago, now they are starting to have doubts. That in itself speaks volumes for what Rafa is doing in a tiny window of the season.

They're backing them because they've got relegation specialist Fat Sam's Fat Head. It's been there since October.

 

Anyone think if Rafa had been here since October we'd still be in this situation?

If he'd been here in February we wouldn't have been in this situation. But then those victories over Liverpool and Spurs pre-Christmas always looked like they might turn out to be the kiss of death.

Fathead has been relegated before, at Notts County, so that line they keep repeating about him is tripe. He was there nearly half the season.

 

We've left it late, but we're still in it and just have to give it our best and hope things go our way in the other games. Whatever happens, Rafa has rejuvenated the club to a barely believable degree. Massive respect to him.

In looking at the five-game run in, we've got our two worst games over with, and had the confidence boost of being unbeaten.

 

Villa have given up and Palace are safe, so there's every chance of two wins there. The odds are that by the final game, Leicester will have won the league, and Spurs will have secured a CL place, so they won't be busting a gut. 7 points or even 9 isn't unrealistic.

 

It'll come down to how Sunderland deal with the pressure and also - let's face it - who gets that little bit of luck.

Still a 10. Not sure where the optimism has come from, we needed to win one of the last two games. Now we need Norwich or Sunderland to lose most of their games and I cant see both of them doing that - especially with watford/everton in there.

Yep, we're down like.
