Excluding Norwich as too far behind, Watford & Villa have the best chance with those games.


I look forward to it all

People talk about our tough run-in but Bournemouth's no picnic either - I can't see them taking too many points from that lot.

I'm not too worried about Watford, I think they're going to be safe.

Sadly, West Ham have probably got the easiest run-in so I think they'll make it - I'd loved to have seen The Dildo Brothers negotiate the Championship in the London Stadium


West Ham have 3 huge six pointers, much worse the playing teams already on the beach.

I'd rather have our fixtures than theirs.

The expectancy on West Ham for not only to be better than their current position, but challenging for silverware is totally a weight that is dragging them down. TeamslikeBrighton and others currently at the bottom are expected to struggle, and that pressure is there from the start of the season, no one really expects us or Watford for example to be challenging at the top end or even for a cup, we are perennial underdogs, and that does not bring the same stress as everyone clamouring about how poor West Ham are, they are a team of talented individuals, not a talented team, therefore I hope and think they will implode :lolol:

Watford would be the only team I can see getting above us

Agreed. I think the bottom 3 will stay as is - Watford will go above us and table will finish like that

Ours look a lo better now Arsenal and Leicester are out of the way and we're four points better off. There's enough opportunity to pick up the 5-7 points we need from those final seven games.

On the flip side it's not looking good for Norwich(although that's true regardless of what their final fixtures are), Villa and Bournemouth. Villa's looks particularly tricky to me I think they'll do well to average a point a game form those games.

Watford's look pretty good and West Ham's don't look terrifying.

I'd say the three teams who will finish in the bottom three are most likely going to be the three who are currently there now. Unless one of us, Watford or West Ham don't win another game. Not a wildly out there prediction, i know.

I've posted this several times now.
I put together a comparison of like for like matches before the season restarted.

I did't mark up home or away as I thought it would make little difference.

This doesn't look that scary with two pretty tricky games out of the way, and 4pts in the bank.

Obv Man City and Liverpool a nightmare, and Man Utd not easy. But nothing to fear here really.

Will the Man City and Liverpool games even prove that much of a nightmare? Liverpool hopefully will be Champions by then, and with Citeh,having missed out on the title, but having achieved Champions League qualifiaction, maybe both teams will already have one foot on the beach?

Here's hoping anyway.

Anything can, and probably will happen.

There will be a few strange results along the way.

Away teams will, IMO, pick up more points than normal from now until the end of the season.

Under normal circumstances I can't see Leicester's fans allowing them as much possession as they had in the second half last night, without forcing Ryan into a save.

Yes, we defended well, but were very comfortable, which I don't think would have been the case with a full house.

I heard Moyes talked the dildo brothers into guaranteeing him the job next season. I suspect a fair few players will not be thrilled with this and would see relegation as a trigger to getting another move. Seems like most of the effort is coming from a handful of their players (like Rice, Bowen and Noble) while many others appear totally disinterested. Moyes needs to figure out who he can rely on before it’s too late.

Reckon our last 3 opponents will already have their Summer break heads on with toes in the water and beach sunsunloungers already set up.

There might not be much opportunity for that (two weeks, perhaps?) - as next season needs to start reasonably sharpish (Sept 12th). But the same principle will apply - they will start to focus on 2020/21...
