The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[johnjoeefc]

How many of you are sweating over Ipswich...come on,show yourself.

Let's be realistic. If ipswich win this they are 12 points behind which is effectively 13 because of goal difference. Their next 3 are chelsea away, arsenal home, Newcastle away.

I only give them any chance of something in the arsenal home game as it's comes after their second leg with real madrid. If they get nothing in those 3 games then they can't come ahead of us.

If they get a couple of points in those 3 games they would still need to win all 4 remaining games and this is all based on the theory that we lose all remaining games including goodisons last home game against Southampton, you think Moyes would let that happen?

We are safe and it's not worth even considering.

But something inside of me still is concerned, Everton that

Our point today means Ipswich need 5 wins and a draw out of 8 (or 4 wins and 4 draws), Wolves getting 7 points isn’t guaranteed either with their fixtures if they lose today.

That’s if we lose 7 in a row to end the season including Ipswich and Southampton at home.

The fact you've done the mental maths shows you're still worried.

Not really worried but I have the numbers in my head just in case.

 

[Blue Alert]

Just don’t want anything riding on Ipswich or Southampton at home.

if they go in

 

[matty1878]

why you think mate

 

[ToffeeTim]

If wolves lose then they are a lot more likely to finish below us too

I'm not concerned with a 12 point gap.

Everton's escapes the last couple of seasons have us conditioned like Pavlov's dogs.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

why you think mate

Coz they are less likely to catch us.
