Today doesn't change much. We are still 5 behind Brighton. They are still the only team we could realistically catch. We still need to win there. We still need to win some more games and hope they lose them all.
After us- Brighton go to wolves then have spurs newcastle arsenal and man city. They might not get too many points there.
As i said no team has ever been relegated with 11 wins. We have 8. If we get 11 by beating Brighton Fulham and palace we will stay up. :thumbup:
Brighton lost 5-0 home to Bournemouth. Thats a shocking result as Bournemouth been in relegation form for months now. Brighton are there for us.
oh come on!
we are going down.
there is no other scenario
Beat Brighton away ........ 2 points adrift then Fulham (a) Palace (h)Quote:

Knockaert sent off so will miss the game.
We hope it's not the opposite, where repeated kicks in the scrotum take their tollQuote:

I agree.
Not confident we will mind
Who are the officials? More important than line ups it would seem. Will we get some luck? We will see. We won’t get a better chance I feel as they are in free fall and without knockhartQuote:

I am afraid you sound like the fan that will never accept our fate - all we have to do is beat Liverpool and Man Utd and we may stay up.!!!
We should be already preparing for the championship
What are you talking about?Quote:

No. If we lose to Brighton that is that. I think everyone agrees there.Quote:

Today doesn't change a lot?
If we had won today we'd be 2 points behind Brighton instead of 5.
If we had won today we could have gone above Brighton and out of the relegation zone if we we beat them on Tuesday.
As it stands, we could beat Brighton 10-0 on Tuesday and we'd still be below them and our fate will still be out of our hands.
I'd say today's result was pretty significant.
I meant because Brighton lost as well it didn't change anything. Had us and Brighton both won it would have equalled each other out.Quote:

Fulham have the shackles off we will not beat them.
Brighton will play and defend for a point - we do not have the guile to break them down.
We will also lose to Liverpool & ManU, we may get a point or possibly 3 at palace but my guess is a point.
We will be relegated in 30 points.
Fulham will storm the championship next season.
Do you have next week's lottery results?Quote:

On Tuesday we have one final chance to keep any chance of staying up alive.
We have to win, it's as simple as that. A draw is not good enough for us at this stage.
Even if we win, we are still effectively 3 points behind Brighton due to goal differences.
We then also have to beat Fulham and Palace to give us any further chance of avoiding the drop.
That will put us on 37 points. Brighton will need less than 4 points from their remaining games for us to stay up.
The sequence of events indicated above is very unlikely, but is not impossible.
While there's a chance, there's a possibility.
While it's possible, we fight, fight and fight again until it is impossible. Never say never.
We have seen far greater comebacks and capitulations in recent years than the possibility of City staying up.
How did you think Fulham would get on this season?Quote:

Yes, he'll miss our game, Wolves and Spurs. He'll be back for their final three, Newcastle at home, Arsenal away, Man City at home.Quote:
