Eesh. So after we've played 10, we'll have played all the big teams except Villa.

It really wasn't. We took 7 points out of 33 possible against the top 36, which is rather awful.

Over the entire season I think we won two (!) games, Spurs and Villa, against teams that were above us in the league table at the time.

I would suggest you should beat the bottom teams more than the top ones, if you can’t get that right, there isn’t much hope in the others…..

Surprised we stayed up

Also for Cambridge United. Who have picked up 1 point in their first 9 games, from a 4-4 draw against Blackpool.

Been looking at end of season fixtures.

Within their last 5, Leicester play Wolves away, and Saints and Ipswich at home. Could be some humdingers in there.

Imagine being a Leeds fan right now seeing the team that beat them in the play offs being so terrible. Even I think that Leeds would be doing better. It must really wind them up.

I assume you mean 7 points out of possible 36 against the top 6?

If you are referring to the "Big 6" then we have already got 7 points out of a possible 12 this season...

8 games in and still no win for Ipswich, Palace, Wolves or Southampton.

First to get a win?

Wolves and Palace could be a play-off to see who can go a magnificent 10 (ten) games without a win.

Precog? Though technically not a crime by either side.

One of those sides committed a crime against football tonight.

You normally need 40 points to guarantee safety.

8 should do it this year.

One of the bottom four will stay up….and Everton, West Ham, Leicester and Man United could still fall on their arses

You joke, but in the last 10 seasons the team finishing 18th (so beatable with goal difference) has had:

26
34
35
28
34
34
33
34
37
35

"40 points for safety" is a nonsense (sorry @Giraffe).

Haven't you just proven that 40 points DOES pretty much guarantee safety?

Or is it that 40 points leaves you clear of the danger zone. The last few years, the bottom 6 has looked precarious thanks to the likes of Everton and Forest only just dodging relegation.
