Jinky Jim Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Although I believe we are safe because we’ll get results in next 3 games but if I was Everton I’d be worried…Shite as they may be Burnley have winnable games in 3 of the next 4….WHU next Sunday when West Ham are involved in a very important match Thursday, Southampton at home, and the saints are even worse than Burnley atm, and Watford away, when Watford seem-ably haven’t won at home all season. 7 points out of that lot and Everton could be in bottom 3 by end of April.

They won’t catch us but I can still definitely see them catching Everton considering Everton has some hard fixtures. Easy and easy i don't know. They play West Ham, Watford, Spurs away. Southampton, Villa, Wolves, us at home. All teams here can beat Burnley if they are on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I’m wrong. That’s fair enough and likely right but I think there will be a few twists in the tale yet.

Paullow Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Just now, 54 said: Burnley have won 4 games in 30, it was mental that people were thinking they'd all of a sudden get 15 point from 9 games, the Norwich result being case and point Think we'll be mathematically safe in 4 games time. Obviously slightly different circumstances given we had Bruce at the start, and then solid investment in January, but you'll know first hand that we literally went from 1 win in 20 (22 inc the cups) only taking 12 points, to then winning 6 of the next 7 out of nowhere, so it can be done, even if very, very unlikely.

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...

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.

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...

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...

When there was ten games to go I checked and only two teams had done a "great escape". That was Leicester and Wigan. Neither caught a team that was on 30+ points at the same stage either.
