Is there a site that works out when teams cannot get relegated?

 

City cannot be caught by Burnley now ? but just on points between 3rd bottom and other teams everyone else could be caught.  100% that with teams playing each other it’s actually mathematically impossible for more teams to go down, top 4 maybe?

 

I think we’ll be safe by game week 34 with an assumption that we lose our 3 away games in a week. Won one or two of them, especially Everton and I’ll bring that to week 30

There's normally a thread towards the end of season which is titled something like - Teams which can't finish above us etc.

Just over a week ago I was hopeful we could hop out of the relegation mini league and in to the lower mid table mini league. 

 

Now I'm dreaming of cracking top ten. :lol:

2. Everything seems to be going well but I worry it won't last. 

 

Watford, Norwich & Brentford for me. Unfortunately everton have too much quality.

Quality that has got them to where they are. A team that doesn’t know how to scrap for survival, fans on there back shitting themselves as the big dream bubble bursts! ???

Oh and there’s Frank :cheesy:

I'd be amazed.  They are clearly more than capable of getting results, and not through effort alone.  They've got so much quality that other teams around them do not have.

 

Just got proper hamstrung by injuries, their hate for Benitez and now transitioning to Tory boy.

Just wanted to say "welcome" to all the new members of the 1 club, with a special hello to all of those who poured scorn on me and like-minded individuals such as @Heron and @Fantail Breeze

 

It's a nice place, 1, isn't it? All those anxieties just... gone :thup:

Can't argue with that - though I notice there's a zero in the poll this time. I'm still voting 1 though because, as you say, mathematics :thup:

Brentford’s fixtures look tricky for the rest of the season. Obviously their poor form doesn’t help. Can see them struggling against both Norwich away and Burnley at home to name two of their coming ones. Playing Leeds on the last day too iirc.

I think Norwich will beat Brentford next weekend

Not inconceivable that Everton are 5 behind Burnley by the time they next kick off and 6 behind us. Worst case for them is that Watford beat Arsenal as well to bring them level.

 

that either puts a rocket up their arses or causes them to drown in the brown stuff

Our very congested fixture list in March has me slightly worried. Winnable games on paper but not sure our squad is good enough to get the results with all the inevitable squad rotation and potential injuries.

 

Fwiw I’m confident, to an extent, that we’ll survive but I imagine the table won’t be anywhere near as flattering 3 weeks from now. Or it could be and I’m just a massive fanny :lol: .

The solace I'm taking is that the team has had constant upheavel already throughout our current run due to injuries.

 

Fingers crossed we'll have both ASM and Manq back. Our rotation options will look a lot stronger as a result and I trust Howe to manage it accordingly.

Nice to see that there are just as many "why isn't everyone at 0!?!?" posters as there were "why isn't everyone at 10!?!?" posters just over a month ago.

The points total needed to stay up may have crept up looking at the form of Burnley and Watford looking at least more competent.  But with 13 games left I can see us being around a point a game or just under.  We’ll be fine, I’m at 1

3.  Just need to maintain decent form now. A point a game and we stay up comfortably. 
 

But we should be looking up. 10th isn’t impossible.
