Relegation 2022/23

[davek]

All the talk about our opponents getting wins in the last couple of games: that'd be like 6 wins.

In the last 12 games they've all had to face (so 36 games in total) they've won no more than 2 games each - Leicester once (so, 5 wins out of those 36 games).

It's a scary part of the season but let's not hand our rivals the stature they dont deserve.

There's about 2 more wins in this season to spread around Leicetser, Everton, Leeds and Forest.

Whichever clubs get those two will decide the final table placings.

Just got to hope they can go to wolves and get a win Dave, that may be enough, I personally would rather our fixtures than the likes of Forest and Leeds but we will see, one game at a time.

Why is laughing at Liverpool losing so important to you, and why are you on this forum if you want Everton relegated?

Christ almighty.

I have a feeling allardyce is going to keep Leeds up. The next two games is a must win or we’re going down with Leicester.

Turn it in you little wall pushing ming

 

[Ladda]

2 more points will be enough to stay up. No win is required.

 

[CielosGrises]

Not that bothered about City result but concerned about our squad options thinning again - DCL and Myko now.

There isn't much beyond the first 11 and Dyche seems to struggle when he can't choose them.

 

[adi dassler]

Not necessarily. We are in the bottom three if Leicester beat Liverpool.

Not a great weekend tbh, if Leicester beat Liverpool then it’s been something of a catastrophe.

Liverpool will beat them by at least 3

Harshest relegations in premier league history:-

1992/1993 - palace relegated on goal difference by 2 goals
1995/1996 - man city relegated on goal difference despite southampton and coventry finishing on the same amount of points
1996/1997 - sunderland relegated on 40 points
1997/1998 - bolton relegated on 40 points by goal difference
2002/2003 - west ham relegated on 42 points
2006/2007 - sheffield united relegated on goal difference by 1 goal
2007/2008 - reading relegated on goal difference by 3 goals
2010/2011 - birmingham relegated on 39 points

interesting tidbit 29 points would have been enough for safety in 2020/2021 season

its been 15 years since a team got relegated on goal difference

no team has ever been relegated on the goals scored rule yet

Liverpool will beat them by at least 3

9-0 would be handy.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Any word on DCL?

 

[JLW]

Leeds could draw and win, that would leap us

They would have to win by 3 goals for that to happen.
We have 1 goal better plus if we win that would be at least another goal.

Apologies if this has already been posted, but it's reassuring to see that cold, hard statistical modelling has us as the least likely team to be relegated of the four after the weekend.

 

[RomanReigns]

to put into perspective how bad this season has been

even if we beat both wolves and bournemouth we will still finish with less points than we had last season

we had 39 points after 37 games as well last season

 

[COYBL25]

Any word on DCL?

Leg off.

That’s how the bookmakers see it as well for what it’s worth
