rogerbarton 24 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Makes the Southampton game even more important. Stoke, Huddersfield, Palace, Bournemouth and WBA all play in GW31 when the FA Cup quarter finals are on so we don't want to be losing ground.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 West Brom, Stoke and West Ham are going down imo. West Ham have a terrible run in and their 2 starting full backs now have a combined age of 102. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3892 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) If the bottom 7 clubs get the same points from the next 5 games as for the last 5 the table will look like this with 4 games to play. Huddersfield 36 pts NUFC. 35 pts Saints 34 pts Hammers 34 pts Stoke 31 pts Palace. 29 pts West Brom. 20 pts done on my phone so fuck off with formatting criticism.

adios 717 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I think that's simplifying things to the point of irrelevance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 I can see the Spurs game being put inbetween the Watford & Chelsea game just to make things extra awkward for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30595 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Because it's too many games in a short time period at the end of the season. We always get at least a week before the final match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17246 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 If Spurs are still in the FA cup & Champions league in April then its tricky....the draw for the quarter final of the champions league is the day before the 6th round of the FA cup 17th March,. If Spurs get through first time v Swansea it'll probably be played in late March to leave April free for them....well, that would be the common sense thing to do.. 16/03/18: Quarter-final draw 03–04/04/18: Quarter-finals, first leg 10–11/04/18: Quarter-finals, second leg 13/04/18: Semi-final and final draw 24–25/04/18: Semi-finals, first leg 01–02/05/18: Semi-finals, second leg 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13863 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Palace and West Ham’s run-ins are twice as bad as ours on paper. I wouldn’t be surprised if West Ham only get about 2 more points. Moyes relegating someone else btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3892 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 What’s our record like coming back to action after a long lay off under Rafa. I remember it being utter dogshit under Pardew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1244 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Pretty much. Given our home form though I wouldn't count on us doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 2 wins and 2 draws would be enough I reckon. Just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5217 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Can see us picking up draws from 2 of 3 games against Leicester, Everton and Watford as well. So I'd have us down for 7 points from the 'easy' home games, 2 points from the above 3 away games. We sneak a win from any of those 3 and we're safe for certain. Gonna say 9 points overall though.

Rayvin 5217 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Depending on for how long Arsenal rumble through their 'crisis', we could well get a point against them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 877 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Yesterday was two years since the 1-3 Bournemouth loss when I think it became clear we were going to be relegated again. This time around at the same time of year we're three places higher and much better off in terms of team spirit and application. I reckon it'll be close but we'll stop up without too much bother.

Hopefully they'll be spooked by Rafa like they were spooked by a geriatric Ian Rush when we beat them in the cup a few years ago. You'd think we'd be ok with those fixtures but I wouldn't be counting any chickens just yet. (Can't remember the last time we beat Leicester away either!)
