[Football] Bottom 6 remaining games

[Jim in the West]

West ham villa last day . . .winner takes all.

We'll be safe by then playing out a mid table mediocrity match at Burnley

Assuming Norwich and Bournemouth are both at least three points adrift of us, we can go into the last day just ONE point ahead of WHU and Villa, and still be safe (with our goal difference). A few assumptions there, but that fixture may help us if things get tight.

Our fixtures are in game order.
The other teams aren't, which is confusing as it looks like four of the teams are playing Burnley at the same time!

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

They probably will but looking at that run in I can’t see anymore than three points

Makes you wonder how much the Fraser fiasco has affected B.Muff's squad togetherness? He really is a fud not accepting a short term deal to help them out. Cue him going to Arsenal and joining their elite bunch of morally correct great blokes D).

Hope they go down with West Ham and Deliaville.

Yeah that was the point (different thread) people were saying how much harder our run i was- i was trying to make the point that ours was margially harder, and 3 teams had to do better than us for us to go down.


I have updated it now with a chronological and like for like version - shaded games are away matches.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

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...

This!

Liverpool will be focussing o being fit ad ready for the defence of their title.
Can't see it being the first team that will rock up to the Amex and even if it is, I can't see them running themselves into the ground.

Looks more accurate now West Ham aren't used as the equivalent for Man Utd for a couple of teams.

 

[Napper]

will be twists and turns for sure.

Too much at stake for them all to limp down.

Wouldnt surprise me if one of Bournemouth or Villa step up tonight.

Strange things will happen and start happening

 

[Gwylan]

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

Maybe our last four - it's quite possible that City could be guaranteed second place by the time we play them (and they may be more interested in the FAC and CL by then)

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Blimey! Bmuff have a tough run in, they could lose every one of those 8 (although I don't think they will)

But I do think they have most to lose from relegation. They can't do what they do on gate money and sponsorship alone, they need tth PL money to keep things going. If they do go down yes they will have parachute payments but if they don't get back up sharpish before that runs out they could be in serious trouble.

Watford isn't quite right as they have played Leicester last weekend.

Yeah I noticed that when doing the final version. there was another balls up in there too!

Hopefully the latest one (chronological and like for like) is correct..

The run in is a difficult time to predict a difficult game.
Arguably West Ham will have the tougher last 3 games.
Every chance that Muffs last 3 games will be meaningless to their opposition (City/Saints/Everton) , whereas West Ham have Watford/United/Villa.

If they can keep the goals conceded down but match West Ham's results up to that point they could drag West Ham into the bottom 3 on GD.
It will be the team that handles the pressure best, rather than the difficulty of the run in.

 

[Springal]

Travesty that Bournemouth stuffed us only a few days after we beat them

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

On the fixtures alone, it looks like Norwich, Bournemouth and Villa down. WHU v Villa battle for final spot but think Villa might yet pull it out of the bag if it goes to that last game.

 

[nordicgod]

3 draws Man Utd, Southampton and Burnley
2 wins Norwich and Newcastle
2 losses Man City and Liverpool

I reckon 9 points for us and could get an extra point against Liverpool as they will be on holiday by then

Yes. It will also be about squad togetherness. West Ham, Muff and Villa, all have key players who've pretty much decided they're off whatever happens. Whatever manager can cajole the most out of those might just see his team survive. I've a sneaking suspicion on Villa

 

[Peteinblack]

i got some out of the bog.

Must be Izal

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Steady......

Quite, lets hope that statement doesn't bite him on the derriere.

 

[Supadupahands]

Newcastle play 5 of the bottom 6 in the run in...

 

[sparkie]

The next big game is Villa v Wolves on Saturday.

3 points for Wolves, please.
