Ikon Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I think we will win another 3-4 games. Not that it really matters for sake of being safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Not sure what a winnable game is for Burnley, they score almost no goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the twists will involve us though. We'll get a couple more points to make us uncatchable. It's a fight between Burnley and Everton now.

Nucasol Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Hopefully PSV and Leicester have a proper ding-dong, a few knocks and niggles, extra time and a delayed flight home. We win next Sunday and the teams below us have to start winning more games in 7 or 8 than they have in the previous 31. Similarly Palace and Chelsea batter and battle each other in the FA Cup semi on Sunday, meaning Palace are hanging for Wednesday and we do them. 40 points, done, dusted, which seemed scarcely believable when we had 7 points after 14 games.

They won’t catch us but I can still definitely see them catching Everton considering Everton has some hard fixtures. Yeah, they are not down yet, but they are getting close. Everton are catchable for them, but we should be too far away now, especially if we get a few more points onboard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Geese Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 We’re as good as safe now, none of the bottom 3 will catch us ! Lets never forget the state we were in before Eddie and the players turned it around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I still think there's an outside chance Burnley could get to 36 points, so not quite safe yet. Just need to get 3 points from our remaining games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I'll be comfortable once Burnley's game in hand is played. Anything could happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) I can't believe that there are rationale people out there who just watched Burnley lose and fail to score at Norwich and are thinking "aye this lot could win half of their remaining games" whilst having watched our game on Friday and have thought "we might not win another game all season". It's mental. Edited April 10, 2022 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I could see Burnley winning half their games, quite easily. I can also see us winning a couple more though. Mind, if Burnley do flush this is the last time you see them in the top flight. Their new owners don't seem up to the job (passed through in 6 days though by the PL) and they'll go the way of Blackburn and the Venkys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe both teams will end up staying up if someone like Everton or Brentford really implodes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I think expecting Burnley to win 4 of 8 games when they couldn't beat Norwich City is hugely optimistic. Impossible? No. Improbable? Yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I think Burnley will escape….but there’s always a first time…..Remember not that long ago the following statistic was floating around the media “ No team has failed to win their first 13 games and survived relegation”….just saying.
