Looking for Other Teams to Lose 08:01 - Apr 15 with 4417 viewsSTID2017

I know it's not the way to do it, but the way we are crawling towards safety, we have got to hope that Stoke lose tomorrow and Southampton lose on Thursday.
If either of these teams win and it gives them the late season boost they need, I am fearful we may be overhauled

Huddersfield - Everton (H), Man City (A), Chelsea (A), Arsenal (H)
Brighton - Spurs (H), Burnley (A), Man Utd (H), Man City (A), Liverpool (A)
West Ham - Stoke (H), Arsenal (A), Man City (H), Leicester (A), Man Utd (H), Everton (H)
Palace - Watford (A), Leicester (H), Stoke (A), West Brom (H)
Stoke - West Ham (A), Burnley (H), Liverpool (A), Crystal Palace (H), Swans (A)
Saints - Leicester (A), Bournemouth (H), Everton (A), Swans (A), Man City (H)
Swans - Man City (A), Chelsea (H), Bournemouth (A), Saints (H), Stoke (H)

The term squeaky bum time for everyone.

Huddersfield lose 3
Brighton lose 4
West Ham lose 5
Palace lose vs Watford, draw vs Leicester, lose vs Stoke
Stoke beat West Ham and Palace
Saints beat Bournemouth and Swans
Swans draw vs Bournemouth

Huddersfield - 35
Brighton - 35
Palace - 35
West Ham - 34
Swans - 34
Saints - 34
Stoke - 33

on the last day of the season.. looking at the fixtures it's likely.. one win will see you safe.. Bournemouth is a pivotal looking game for us.. it's one little advantage we've got over the others.

If Stoke lose tonight they are gone, they wont gain 7 points on us

Same with Southampton Thursday, cant see them getting 2 more wins than us (if they lose Thursday)

Both teams having taken 1 point from there last 5 games, Id be surprised if 35 points wasn't enough to stay up.

Agree Stoke lose then they would have to win 3 of their last 4 games to go above us.

Up the Hammers

Aye, much as it pains me to cheer West Ham who have really lost their way since the days of Booking and. Co.
Come on you Hammers (or Irons if you prefer)

Indeed.

Stoke still have to visit Anfield.

Nah, it was best for there to be loads of teams in the mix to keep everyone honest. Now it’s time to identify your favourites for the drop. Stoke to lose please. They need to be down by the time we play them in case we need points to keep us ahead of Southampton.

Why? We are much, much more likely to finish above Stoke than West Ham

That's crazy talk.

Fake news MattG!

Nope, I'm hoping that Millwall get promoted for the entertainment value and the fact that I live nearby. Also Fulham for the same reason. Saying that Cardiff being promoted would be good for the Wales economy is me looking for a silver lining.

West Ham may only be one win from safety but they've also got some tough fixtures ahead of them. After the disgusting way they treated Leyton Orient, they deserve a bit of payback.

Cardiff being promoted would be good for the Cardiff City Region economy, nowhere else, and probably even more at the expense of the Swansea Bay area than already happens.

I'm no West Ham fan but I'll only start worrying about them getting their comeuppance when we are safe. They don't play any of our other relegation rivals during the run-in which removes the risk of one of them benefiting from West Ham being "on the beach" if they do win tonight.

Yes, we concentrate on us, but wanting those below us to lose is, at this stage, blooming natural.

We have a 6 point lead over Stoke and a 5 point lead over Southampton. We've all played the same number of games. So 5 left.

There've are 15 points left for each of us. So Stoke have 9 points to play with and Southampton have 10 points to play with. (Stoke's GD is quite a bit worse than ours so it may be only 8, but let's ignore that to be safe).

On the 'points to play with', they get eaten up by (a) us gaining points or (b) them dropping points. Doesn't matter which of the two it is. If Stoke lose tonight, that 9 points to play with drops to 6. Same with Southampton on Thursday. If they win, they still have 9 points to play with (they gain 3 but lose a game). Them losing at this stage is like us winning a game.

since the premier league went to 20 teams in 95/96

The lowest points total to stay up was 34
The average points of the team in 17th (stayed up) is 38
the average of the team in 18th (went down) is 36
The highest point total of a team to go down is 42.
The lowest point total in 18th was 30 (i.e. 31 points wold have kept a team up, the 17th placed team actually got 35.)

statistically another 4 points should keep us up.

Yes totally mad.
Perhaps he thinks it was a good think that Huddersfield won as well on the weekend to bring Watford back in.
