We won't be going to Arsenal on 35 points

Will be nowhere near safe then on last day if you mean it's going to be a lower points tally than that after 37 games.

Have visions it will be reversal of 98....back then Bolton were a point clear but had a poorer GD and lost at Chelsea.

Not good if Burnley are just a point off and GD remains the same as they could easily play out a 0-0 with Newcastle at home and gamble Arsenal will win.

I also think looking at Spurs fixture list the race for 4th will go to final day so Arsenal will need a win.

They were only a couple of points off safety when he came in, they ended 13 points off 17th and went down with a whimper. I wouldn't blame him for them going down but they never even made a fight of it. THey finished with 26 points (we're on 25 now).

He's hailed as a survival specialist but he bought his way out of trouble at Palace and Sunderland by buying half a team in January. Couldn't do that at West Brom so couldn't do anything with them.

Yeah I was suprised looking at table from the game they sacked Bilic (1-1 draw at Man. City). 7 points from 13 games but Burnley were 17th with 9 points. Arsenal only had 13 points and were 15th!

Some team called Everton had 20 points after 12 games which shows what a dismal failure this season has been regardless of outcome.

I thought all the Big Sam references were to his efforts in 17/18. Despite the terrible start I don't think relegation was ever going to be a serious issue and he did have three more months than Lampard to fix things which we did albeit in the most boring style possible.

Richy has been shocking this season. He needs a kick up the backside and dropping for a few games

No he dosen't.

Disappointing he couldn't finish off those half chances v Wolves but he's one of the few you know who'll give 100% and won't stop running and you can't say that for many of this shower.

Also the sort who'll pop up with a big goal in the run in v Man. United, Chelsea or perhaps even in an away game.

Guess if Gray hadn't missed months injured you could make a case for him and Gordon either side of DCL but I thought Gray was way off it with his decision making against Newcastle so he needs more sub cameos to ease back into things.

Sold our soul to a man who put hundreds of millions into the club and has brought us a new stadium.

Whereas a long time ago we sold our soul to a man who had limited money, put nothing into the club, took out offshore loans with very questionable parties, tried to force us into ground moves by faking Health and Safety warnings.

I know which one I prefer.

We don't have a new stadium yet and we may well go down.
 
Just seen all the second last week of fixtures are scheduled to be on a Sunday. Is this because of the FA Cup Final the day before?
