[Albion] Still think we’re safe?

[vagabond]

Humour me, please reassure we‘re defiantly staying up.

Because looking at the table right now we don’t look super safe.

Afraid I can't reassure you.
This is the Albion we are talking about.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It's not over til it's mathematically over

 

[stewart_weir]

And there are a few on here wanting Villa to win just because its Palace! duh

 

[martin tyler]

Personally I think 36 is enough. But we are 1 win for guaranteed survival unless Bournemouth and villa both win their final 4 games (villa half way there on one). Which would be an incredible upturn in form bearing in mind they are both averaging less than a point a game

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Having watched Everton today it would not surprise me one bit if villa go and get the win there.

usually in most seasons 2 teams go on massive runs for the last couple of games. Cardiff being dead before almost catching us last season.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

We’re staying up, no need to panic at all.

Still got a very healthy points and goal difference gap over the bottom 3 and couldn’t really ask for 3 better fixtures to end the season.

Nothing has changed. It is in our hands and has been all season. No point worrying about other results. What will be, will be.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Yes. It's in our hands (gulp)

A team that considers us as "rivals" who beat us at home 2:0, A side who could rough the players off the pitch in Burnley, or players trying to impress in case this buyout does go through and dont get sold.

 

[stss30]

Can’t see Villa avoiding defeat against Everton (away) and Arsenal - which would leave them needing a huge goal difference swing to overtake us. It would be nice if Leicester win against plucky later and I think it’s all tied up with them playing City in the week

 

[vagabond]

So if we pick up 0 points from our last 3 games, given we’ve just shipped 8 goals...

Where does that leave the calculations? As things stand West Ham and Watford are just 2pts behind us. I don’t get why everyone is so relaxed?

 

[Swansman]

Not the least bit worried.

 

[Seasidesage]

Safe..

 

[martin tyler]

True sometimes it happens and both could do it but Bournemouth have got to go away to city yet so 1 point with goal difference would most likely be enough to keep them below us even if they win the other 3.
Villa just don’t seem 7 points out of the next 9 for them and again 1 point would need them winning all 3.

VILLA
Everton A
Arsenal H
West Ham A

BOURNEMOUTH
Leicester H
Man City A
Southampton H
Everton A

WATFORD
West Ham A
Man City H
Arsenal A

WEST HAM
Watford H
Man Utd A
Villa H

BRIGHTON
Southampton A
Newcastle H
Burnley A

I think we are safe, too many teams need a lot to go right, and for us to lose all our games for that to happen. Nothing in football is impossible I guess. A point at Southampton would do very nicely thank you.

If Watford fail to win away at West Ham, can't see them getting 36 points. Nothing less than a home win for Bournemouth today or their race catching us is done. Villa would need to win 2 and draw 1 of their last 3 to finish ahead of us. It's all very unlikely.

 

[blockhseagull]

We are safe

Villa are still bang out of form and have struggled to beat a Palace side which has been beyond woeful this afternoon.

Villa still can’t lose another game if they want to overtake us ... I’m confident we have enough.

 

[banjo]

We’ll beat Newcastle, so yes we’re safe.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Safe..

Would be Typical for Brighton to feck it up and go down
