[Football] Are we safe already

Current relegation odds

 

[AmexRuislip]

11 points is 11 points.
I'm enjoying the ride, second time around, whilst not worrying about relegation or are we going to be safe!
We're about as safe as Boris Johnson on a parliamentarian speed dating night

Yes. Hull in 2014/15

After 9 games in ...
2017 - Stoke (8), Swansea (8), West Brom (10) -- Albion (11)
2016 - Hull (7), Boro (7), Sunderland (2)

[Questions]

Carlisle won their first three games in the top flight, but were relegated by a country mile in the end.

I remember that well. Their 3rd game was the feature game on Match of the Day and Jimmy Hill was chuffed for them. Well we all were I think.

I presume the op was speculating that 3 teams might challenge derbys record low PL points total.
No we're not safe but we've reached the magical "can't be as bad as Derby once were" 11 points in a PB.

....we carry a goal threat

Or rather "our goal threat was carried" yesterday...

Anyway, what a daft thread. I can't believe I've just read it, and am now posting on it!

They had the equivalent of 14 points after 9 games in 1974.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Well, I have carefully read this thread and I still don't know if we're safe.

I'm worried now.

 

[Beach Hut]

Answer is no

 

[GT49er]

They had the equivalent of 14 points after 9 games in 1974.

......with, IIRC, the last test cricketer to play in the top division of English football in their midfield.

 

[Dr. No]

Discuss...

No.

 

[OzMike]

Ask again after 29 games.

 

[GT49er]

We are in the fantastic position of being able to secure safety by the half way point of the season - just win the next ten on the trot, that'll be 41 points from 19 games; then the players can train surf and go on the lash for the second half of the season........

 

[gripper stebson]

Key from now is not to lose against the teams who are struggling.

 

[Sorrel]

One more point and we're safe from the worst ever Premier League points total.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

We did this at a similar time last year, and the answer is still no.

......with, IIRC, the last test cricketer to play in the top division of English football in their midfield.

No. Arnie Sidebottom played in the top division after Chris Balderstone. It's true that he wasn't a test cricketer then, but neither was Balderstone when he was in the 1st division.

Fairy nuff. But at least Balderstone played a whole test match!

2010/11 Blackpool had 25 points at Christmas. Relegated on 39 points.

Proportionally yes from me
