How they must feel,if we are 90% certain to go down they are 99%.So much for Kean thinking 7 points would be enough,even if they win all 4 remaining games they could stiil go down,so as bad as things are for us,Blackburn are worse once,scant consolation I know!

Oh no,and there I was thinking we were friends,rightly depressed now!

[stainrodisalegend]

90% likely? Think thats just a reflection of your depression, not the actual position. The bookies seem to put it at about 50-50 and I think that's far more realistic.

50-50??? and bolton have 2 games in hand and an easier run in.....your calculations are out a touch with reality. not saying its over but not as easy as your making out.

Yep, and so far this season their matches have yielded slightly less than a point a game, so if past form means anything they won't be ahead of us after those two games. Sure, they might win them both 6-0, the optimists can be no more sure than the doom mongers, its all guess work. But educated guess work - and bookies are pretty good at that - suggests that the situation is still more open than you admit.

And by the way, if anyone was mad enough to offer you odds of 9-1 on us staying up my advice wd bite their hands off...

[bushcelt1]

how many points do you honestly(with head not heart!!) think we will get??

I don't know mate, no one does, that's why I think its wrong to write us off (just as it wd be crazy to assume we are safe, tho' I don't think even the wildest optimist wd do that). But for what my prediction skills are worth (not much) I think six points is possible and four points is pretty likely.

[bushcelt1]

4 pts could keep us up. i see bolton getting 3 draws from their remaining games.

Agree with you - particularly with our superior goal difference. My hunch - and it is purely that - is that we will go into the last game at Man City needing to avoid a tonking. In other words a defeat might be OK as long as its not so big that it decimates our goal difference advantage.

[Rebel R's]

If we are going down the rose tinted glasses road we could say that we could lose all our matches and still stay up?

If we get 4 points from our last 4 games. 1 vs Spurs and 3 vs Stoke. Bolton would need to get 7 points from their last 6 to over take us. its going down to goal diference folks!

[Terry-Mancini-123]

If we're going into the game at City safe once we don't get hammered I will take that scenario right now. In fact even if we have to get a draw there to survive I would take it right now. I fear it may well be all over by that stage, and I'm not wearing glasses of any type, can't find the ****ing things!
