We’re safe realistically so it barely matters in a game like this.

If I shouldn’t worry about Burnley as our safety is a done deal, then why worry about Brentford overtaking us? Brentford look out of it also so it’s really about Everton, Leeds and Burnley for third place. You’ve been concentrating for weeks on nicking a point here and there to get us safe. Id still prefer the 10 point gap going into tomorrows game. Reducing to 9 is just an extra point needed to reach guaranteed safety. So Do you want to finish above Brentford? I'm going to assume yes. Do you want to finish above Burnley? Again, I'll assume yes. If so, the objectively best result for us is for those teams to draw when they play one another. It deprives both of them of 3 points, which is good because 3 points brings them closer to us than 1 point would. If all of the teams below us draw when they play one another, it limits the ability of ALL of them to catch us. But if one of them wins, it enhances their ability to catch us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’m bothered about is staying up, getting to summer and spending shed loads of cash. Finishing 10th or 17th is secondary. I’m a gap man baby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42647 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 We're staying up. So the objective should be to finish as high as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4069 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I work with loads of Everton fans. I think I might crank my cock right off if they go down and it’s Tory Frank that took them down 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34093 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) So that’s the bottom two all but down. There’s realistically 3 others in the mix. Brentford could go but today’s result makes them almost safe. Absolutely mental we’re completely out if it before the middle of March given where we were less than two months ago.

Christmas Tree 4438 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Apparently Elliott Anderson scored a cracking goal on loan today. Past 5 players then the keeper. Hopefully someone has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, as much as he's a vain twat he's well and truly still got it and is one of the best footballers ever, if not the GOAT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42647 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Another absolute fucking stinker for Mike Dean and whoever he had doing his VAR yesterday. Worth watching MOTD just to see his latest masterclass. He needs retiring for his own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4650 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Norwich and Watford can both win for me tbh, They're both going down most likely but I'd like to see Leeds not pick up any more points and we can go one point behind southampton with a game in hand if things go our way.
