[Albion] Where can we get another point from?

[LamieRobertson]

Always good to see a thread with a fresh topic...........

 

[PoG]

The ball is round, anything can happen.

 

[LamieRobertson]

They were mathmatically safe on Sunday. What we have to hope is that just takes the edge of their mentality going into the game. Yes, they might have a bit of freedom, but equally they could relax a bit too much.

Hard to call it. Fuham suddenly playing with purpose and determination, Palace could conceivably finish 9th if they carry on winning. It's all what ifs, buts, and the like.

Well you've just knocked 75% of the forum posts on the head :moo;

Like we turned up for Southampton, Bournemouth and Cardiff?

To be fair I didn't specify how big the "IF" was.

 

[ManOfSussex]

I was just looking at footballwebpages.co.uk for non-league purposes and ventured on to the Premier League final predicted table and results -

1 point for us v Newcastle in our remaining games.
Zero for Cardiff in their last 3.

I'll take any crumb of comfort I can find right now!

Next four games WWWW

Can we at least go WWWL? Asking for those of us who work with Liverpool supporters...

 

[Napper]

funny results at the end of seasons.

I didn't thinkw e would get anything at Wolves.

Fully expecting more twists.

It isn't over though and would like to see the negativity stop after the spurs game.

 

[Mellotron]

Hughton now has justification at this point to play horribly turgid, attritional football away vs Arsenal and Spurs, with most level-headed fans recognising that 0-0 would be a great result in either game.

I wouldn't bet against us managing it in one of the two games.

 

[Machiavelli]

If we fail against Newcastle having already failed v Burnley, Southampton and Cardiff then we deserve to go down. We have to take advantage of these games and we haven't done enough so far at least.

It's in our own hands....

It is still in our hands but I take the view that we will only deserve to go down if we have fewer points (or an inferior goal difference if on the same point total) than the team in 17th

Even when we are safe (I live in hope) ...people will fully turn to next season and I expect that after the initial relief a fair degree of negativity to continue

Negativity you say? Well it’s a good job we don’t see any of that on the pitch

Ha!

I guess I should have added that a certain amount is justified and we all know that change must happen ....perhaps not 'change' that some peeps would like

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Where could we get a point from? Any of the remaining games, POSSIBLY.

Spurs: Keep it tight like Saturday for a point (as a bonus, I'm sticking to my 1-0 win dream coming true)
Newcastle: Get back to Fortress Amex for a point or maybe more
Arsenal: Bit of an up and down team and have the distraction of European games. We play them three days after their Europa League semi - could be a good for the Albion
Man City: IF (and it's a big if) the title is lost by the time they rock up to the Amex, we might be in with a shout of something against a demoralised team, but one who still have one eye on the Cup final.

I'm not saying that those scenarios WILL play out, but they could. There are points to be had, just need to take it one game at a time...

 

[Triggaaar]

I really don't get all this concern about us going down??

Cardiff are: Away to Fulham - home to Palace - away to Man U - they won't get any points from their last 3 games! at best maybe get a draw at Fulham!

Wanna bet?

I would be wary of being so arrogant about it.

He wasn't being arrogant, just surprisingly confident.

My glass is half full!

Yeah, of vodka. Only half an hour earlier it was full.

 

[Triggaaar]

And Cardiff are crap. They will not get the 4 points they need to overtake us.

They might only need 3. With Spurs, Arsenal and City to play, our GD could take a hammering.

I was thinking of watching tonight from behind the sofa, but instead I reckon a series of mirrors allowing me the odd glimpse of the carnage might be better.

 

[Triggaaar]

Bookies are rarely wrong and we are massive favorites to stay up.

Unfortunately, their odds for relegation at this point are not so much based on probability, but on their book - they'll have taken a lot of money on Cardiff going down, so they won't want more of the same, they'd like to tempt a few people with some money on us.

 

[Two Professors]

Tonight is possible.If not,NSC could start looking behind the sofa for that dropped point we know is there somewhere.

 

[andy1980]

Fortunately, Cardiff have to do more than win to stay up. Goal difference means they will need at least a win and a draw to leapfrog us

Absolutely before Saturday they could have drawn 3 games and stayed up but now one of those games has to be a win.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Spurs 0 pts
Newcastle 3 pts
Arsenal 1 pt
City 1 pt

5 more points

 

[SeagullinExile]

I actually fancy us for a point tonight. Don’t ask me why, I just fancy us.
