[Albion] We are safe?

[Shooting Star]

Yes but you're forgetting we're gash away from home

True, we're not great, but if you look at the away games against the teams in the bottom half, how many have we actually lost? Only West Brom, Hudders and B'mouth. The rest we've either drawn or won, and I really do think a point against Palace and Burnley would be a fantastic and achievable result.

It’s a bigger game for Palace than for us next week as they need the win whilst we can happily shut up shop and go for the point

 

[chaileyjem]

If we pick up one more win, or grind out a couple of draws (easily possible against Palace, Burnley, maybe even Spurs/United at home), we're absolutely safe. Southampton and Stoke do not look like climbing out of this at all. People seem to forget the poor run of results we had in January before our revival. This isn't nearly as bad as then - we played very well against Leicester and didn't lose to a relegation rival.

What makes me laugh about all the pessimism going into Saturday is that anybody would think Palace are in the top half of the table the way people are talking. We are four points ahead of them with a game in hand (albeit against City). Yes, they are spirited, but so were we against Arsenal. They should be looking far more nervously over their shoulder than us.

Exactly - they’ve won 1 game in 10 coming into our match .

My concern with the Palace game is the speed of Zaha and Townsend against our lumbering defence.especially if they do not have Propper to help shield them.

I hadn’t thought of those two.

I have some bad news

Palace were pretty decent yesterday. Zaha, Townsend and Van Aanholt were swarming around like a load of blokes possessed.

Chin up though

I don't think this can be resolved by a poll because it isn't a matter of opinion. It is a matter of fact. And the fact is we shall never know. Unless the OP tells us what he/she means.

Nevertheless it is either statement or a question.

As a statement it is false. It is akin to the endless 'it was a red card' or 'it was a penalty' statements. Stupid statements, because it was whatever the referee decided. Robbie Savage was doing this in his thicky style all over radio 5 last night during the northern ghetto derby. We cannot be safe till we are mathematically safe. We are not mathematically safe so we are not safe.

As a question, the answer is no, we are not safe (see above).

As a thread, I wonder if it safe to venture an opinion on the perceived probability of our staying up. Assuming it is, my view as a non-gambler is that six would get me only one in a bet we will stay up. That said, I can't see us winning another point now.That that said, if the point of the thread was to determine the odds of our staying up, I suspect the best plan would be to explore some of the online betting sites.

I hope that was both useful and helpful.

You been on the juice early today HWT

Well, we scored 3 against you lot, and we have 1 in 10 Glenn, who surprisingly, would be your top scorer this season if you hadnt sold him to us

I let my withering scorn get the better of me, and started enjoying the weft of my prose a little too much

Maybe I should leave the comedy to [MENTION=14365]Thunder Bolt[/MENTION] after all....

Yesterday's results mean we (Burnley) are now mathematically safe and cannot finish below 14th.

It would be good if Brighton are safe by the time they visit Turf Moor and don't need to scrap for points.

As a non Albion supporter, lancy, do you consider us to be safe?

 

[spence]

No we are not safe.

Just need a point or two

Unfortunately, Chris Wood has a chip on his shoulder about us, and tries to get Lewis Dunk yellow carded or sent off. He is bound to score against us. Barnsey not so much even though he tried to rugby tackle Maty Ryan at the home game.

With Howe, Bournemouth's defence is quite sieve-like.

99% safe.

My three: WBA, Stoke and either Saints/Huddersfield. I hope Hudders stay up because they'll go down next year instead.

 

[lawros left foot]

99% safe.

It's funny, the people I speak to who don't support us, think we're sa!fe, well, most of them,and the people who do support us, most think we need up to 4 more points.
Personally, I think we need one more point.
