Honey Honey Posted April 22, 2017 Author Posted April 22, 2017 4 winnable games for Sunderland back to back. Surely they won't do it again? Swansea are as good as gone barring a miracle if they don't win today. Bournemouth, Burnley and palace are fine. 1 win will do it.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted April 22, 2017 Subscriber Posted April 22, 2017 Tell you what if Middlesbrough win today and Hull/Swansea don't they will start wondering again, especially with Sunderland at home in hand. Bournemouth away isn't unwinnable either. Sunderland won there.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted April 22, 2017 Subscriber Posted April 22, 2017 Middlesbrough losing already they are useless.
Machado Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 Hull (33 pts): Southampton (A) Sunderland (H) Crystal Palace (A) Tottenham (H) Swansea (31 pts): Manchester Utd (A) Everton (H) Sunderland (A) West Brom (H)
Administrator Stan Posted April 22, 2017 Administrator Posted April 22, 2017 Swansea are not getting 6 points from those next 2. Can see Hull getting 3 from that Sunderland home game.
Toony Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 It'll be a race right until the end between those two, difficult to say which once will pull over the line too. Palace are one win away from safety, though they've got some tough games coming up.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted April 22, 2017 Subscriber Posted April 22, 2017 Our fans panicking again. I'm just not feeling it. We're 6 clear of Swansea with two in hand, with Watford and Bournemouth at home to come. We need a disaster to drop.
The Artful Dodger Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 Could have done with Stoke helping us out, the pressure is intense. Our home form has been fantastic and still we can't get away, we need to pick up a win away from home.
Takyon Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 I keep thinking that our home record won't last but then we go and win again. I'm still worried about our away form though. We need to start picking up points on the road but I just don't see it happening.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted April 22, 2017 Subscriber Posted April 22, 2017 Wouldn't be shocked to see Burnley or Palace get a win tomorrow. Both will panic if they lose. I still think Swansea are going. Hull did fantastically to win today after that red card. That result could well be the definer if they do end up staying up.
Dave Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Swanseas fixtures are harsh enough for me to think they'll drop. Home games against Burnley and Hull put us in a favourable position.
Honey Honey Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 I think it's the ordering of Swansea's fixtures that is the problem. There's definitely 6 points for them in the last 2, but they could be 5 points behind Hull going into those 2 games. Psychologically that could be too much pressure.

Palace won't go. Super turnaround from them.
Toony Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Yeah, Allardyce has done exceptionally well really to turn that around. Theyve got a good squad though, a few more additions over the summer and they could push top 10 next season.
Honey Honey Posted April 24, 2017 Author Posted April 24, 2017 Isn't it funny that every season there are about 7 or 8 teams whose fans at some point say with real conviction "we're going down"

Definitely need a couple of additions but to be fair to him he does find some pretty good players out of nowhere. Milivojevic looks decent. 9 hours ago, HoneyNUFC said: Isn't it funny that every season there are about 7 or 8 teams whose fans at some point say with real conviction "we're going down" We were unquestionably going under Ranieri. I had £20 on us to go at 10/1 and was laughing at how big a price I got. It was tumbling by the week after I put it on as well. But I didn't think they would ever actually sack him. I changed my mind immediately when he went. If we hadn't have sacked Ranieri there would be no relegation battle. It took us to make the league interesting again
The Artful Dodger Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Allardyce has got a very good squad just about meeting their standard, he's got a massively superior squad to any of the bottom 10 for me.

Takyon Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 That's us gone then. Can't see Swansea dropping points in the last two games and even if they do I can's see us getting anything away to Palace or against Spurs. I'm very disappointed we should have seen this out really. The blame lies solely at the door of the Allams. Let's not forget that we had quite possibly the worst backing and pre-season in Premier League, there is no excuse for a team coming into the season with only 13 fit players. The lack of investment and lacklustre appointment at the beginning of the season is what doomed us, Marco Silva has done an incredible job to have us in contention to stay up in May, I wish him all the best at his next club. I'm very worried about next season, barring a miracle in the next two weeks we'll be in the Championship with very few players (and even fewer who'll want to stay with us), no manager, owners with no desire to back us financially and no prospective change in ownership due to the Allam's ridiculous demands. I just hope we don't plummet down the leagues but perhaps I'm just being dramatic.
Dave Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Next week is massive. I can't predict who will go. Whoever doesn't drop now only has themselves to blame.
Honey Honey Posted May 9, 2017 Author Posted May 9, 2017 Didn't realise how close Palace could be again, they looked well clear a couple of weeks ago
Honey Honey Posted May 14, 2017 Author Posted May 14, 2017 If hull win today and hull, palace and Swansea win last day, with Watford losing to Chelsea and Man City by at least a 9 goal difference Watford will go down
