I said it a few weeks ago and I'll repeat - that last minute goal we conceded at home to Swansea might come back to bite us on the arse.
I can see on the last day of the season: 16: Crystal Palace 39pts 17: Swansea 38pts 18: Hull City 38pts Swansea above us on GD. Meaning we need a better result than Swansea or we need to win and Palace not to win. Swansea will win leaving us needing a win. I was about to write that sadly I don't see that happening so I think we will be relegated. Then some kind of divine light shone on me telling me that we will get a win on the last day. Palace will be relegated. 0-0 draw v spurs up until the 89th minute in which Niasse get a winner.
Should Sunderland play the kids against Hull City? http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spor.../should-sunderland-play-kids-against-12975112
We could lose all three matches and still stay up. The only guarantee of remaining in the Premier League is to win all three matches and all three are winnable.
Got to agree with Chazz.swansea can lose to Everton,but beat Sunderland and West Brom.,meaning we need 5 points from our games
Here's a little stat for people. Swansea have only won 1 game against the bottom four. I.e. in the 8 games, they've played, they've only won once and that was at home to Sunderland. Let's beat Sunderland and ramp up the pressure on them. I think they'll crack
the pressure is on us and not swansea especially since we play before them on saturday against a team already relegated
I've spent all day putting it through a spreadsheet, and by my calculations, if we win all our games, we're safe.
Its highly likely we'll win all three. According to you Sunderland will lose at home to a Swansea City team we have beaten three times this season but might overturn us at home. Burnley have one away win all season against a Crystal Palace side that looked poor without their key defenders. They also have a poor home record against lower league opposition, even under Big Sam. We play Spurs at home whose season will almost certainly be over by then. They may not collapse like they did last season against relegated Newcastle United but their minds will be elsewhere on that day. Can anyone seriously see Chelsea losing one match and drawing another against Middlesbrough, West Brom, Watford and Sunderland? If West Brom don't pull their finger out they could be overtaken by Southampton, Bournemouth, Leicester City, Stoke City, Watford and Burnley. They are currently 8th. For every team that overtakes them they lose £2 million in prize money. If all of the teams that can catch them do so the club will be £12 million worse off. If I owned the club, backed Pulis in the transfer market and he got one point in the last 2 months and cost the club millions, I wouldn't be particularly happy.
