Suzie the Fox Posted 22 April 2017 Share Posted 22 April 2017 Good semi final game in my opinion. Glad Chelsea won I really hate spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeGuy Posted 22 April 2017 Share Posted 22 April 2017 Great, great game between Chelsea and Spuds. Hazard is world class and Matic, what a cracker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ithuriel Posted 22 April 2017 Share Posted 22 April 2017 Shearer was right, possession means nothing, its scoring that counts and Lampard agreed much to the chagrin of the ex-spurs pundit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeGuy Posted 22 April 2017 Share Posted 22 April 2017 Disgraceful Spurs fans though, leaving the stadium with almost 15 minutes to go. A real shame because their team played actually very well and didn't deserve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsX Posted 22 April 2017 Share Posted 22 April 2017 Once Diego Costa and Hazard came on, it didn't take long to flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 22 April 2017 Share Posted 22 April 2017 Hazard is a belting player, it just looks so easy when he has the ball. Wtf was Mourinho doing to have them play so poorly last season? They did have a dodgy preseason though which is familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you'd probably have gloating Chelsea fans around- not an ideal exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that they need 2 wins and 1 draw from their 4 remaining games to finish above us I think it's highly unlikely that they can catch us. Assuming they beat Sunderland away and WBA at home they'll need 1 point from either Utd at Old Trafford or Everton at home, whilst also needing us to lose 6 games straight (something we've not done all season). If we pick up just 2 points from our remaining 6 games, that'll require Swansea to win 3 of their remaining 4 games. Furthermore assuming Swansea somehow pull off a miracle, the 3 teams between us and Swansea will also have to better our results between now and the season end. Whilst it's not impossible that we could be relegated I do think we're pretty much safe now. Swansea's win rate is entirely irrelevant. Anything can happen now with teams scrapping for their lives. The great escape should have taught you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great escape should have taught you that. One club can pull off something like the great escape, but two of them simultaneously is less likely. Also all other teams from 11th to 16th would need to earn more points than us - and from fewer games (for most of them). And don't forget they will play each other too. It's not that it's impossible for us to go down, of course - but we have substancially more chances to finish 10th than 18th, so why not look upwards?

Teams in danger of relegation generally improve their points per game return but the chances of us not getting another win from our last six games is slim at best imo. No need to waste emmotional energies worrying about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great escape should have taught you that. I take your point but I did allude to the fact that it is improbable rather than impossible. Realistically how many times in Premier League history has a team achieved something similar to what we did? Off the top of my head I can only think of WBA and Palace, and both of them like ourselves had way more games than Swansea have. In addition during the greatest escape we still ended up losing to one of the top teams (Chelsea), yet Swansea have to go to Old Trafford to play a Man Utd side that have only lost one league game at home all season. If they lose that game they then have to win all 3 of their other remaining games which I simply can't see them doing. As mentioned previously if Swansea do pull off a miracle then it also requires the teams below us and immediately above us to better/match our results in order for us to go down which I think looks unlikely given some of the other's fixtures.
