It would be nice at least one of Sheff Utd, Man Utd, Chelsea or Wolves would drop points. Ideal results for me would be Man U draw at best, Chelsea lose, and Sheff Utd and Wolves win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs winning would be ok they'd still be behind Man U. Sheff Utd are potentially nearer to us than Man U as they have a game in hand and Newcastle are relatively safe being 8 pts clear of relegation. i'd still prefer Wolves to lose WHU still have plenty of games left to lose.

Facecloth Posted 10 March 2020 Share Posted 10 March 2020 52 minutes ago, mazarron fox said: Reina certainly made a sprint towards Barnes was shit on a shovel 😀 Smith has made a huge error over his keeper choices. Nyland has done nothing wrong when called on, and Reina has at times been rash and unreliable. It's like he's picking the name over form, unless Reina signed a contract that insisted he played when available. If that's the case Villa have been even more stupid. When you're struggling to score, you've gotta be solid at the back, and I think playing Reina is making them shakier not more solid. Look at Newcastle. In the most part they don't concede too many, Dubravka has kept plenty of cleansheets and they'll stay up easily. Kind of feel the keeper choice is pushing Villa towards the drop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, if you look at England's options at centre back it's not hard to see why though, as poor as it's ever been in my lifetime. Guys like Mings, Keane, Stones and a few others I've probably forgot, all garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were dead and buried! I remember during that sequence the game away to Chelsea who went onto win the title, where we took the lead and gave them a really tough game. In fact it was one of the hardest games they played that season despite winning, and it really showed how much we had improved. We really turned on the performance levels massively in that end to the season. Edited 10 March 2020 by StriderHiryu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I want Wolves and Sheff Utd to keep winning is so they beat man U and Chelsea to 4th/5th. We are fine as long as Man U and Chelsea keep dropping points. Sheff Utd and Wolves won't catch us, and if they do fair play as long as we stay top 4/5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban fox Posted 10 March 2020 Share Posted 10 March 2020 my ideal final table would look something like this Liverpool Us Man City Wolves sheff Utd Unfortunately, with Man city likely banned from Europe and having already won the LC, it is still likely that Man utd and Spurs will scrape into Europa via 6 & 7th place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 9 games we went from 7 points off safety to being 6 points clear of the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we survived with a game to go with the draw against Sunderland, and ended up finishing 14th and scoring 5 goals on the last day too. But I suppose it depends on what you mean by an escape being "great." As perhaps scoring a 94th minute equaliser ala Jimmy Glass is more exciting. But I think our turnaround is the best in PL history, and that's not even taking into account the season that followed. But I would be biased! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les-TA-Jon Posted 10 March 2020 Share Posted 10 March 2020 Don't forget West Brom in 2006 (I think) - weren't they bottom on the last day and stayed up? Nigel was part of the staff too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
