Relegation
Norwich are going down. No point discussing. The following clubs could join them - i.e. 2 from Burnley, Watford, Everton, Leeds and Brentford. Of these 5 clubs, Everton have the most difficult run in. They have to play West Ham (a), Manure (h), Liverpool (a), Chelsea (h) and Arsenal (a). They also have only played 27 games which means that they will have a very congested schedule. I think Everton are real chance to go down. Burnley also have a congested schedule but do not play that many top teams. Just man city, spurs, and west ham. Watford have Hodgson now and look brighter. Nevertheless, I saw them play and they do not have much quality. Brentford have only won 2 of their last 11 games. Beating a hapless Norwich and Burnley (some here might say equally hapless). So they too are not in great shape. That leaves Leeds. Many have made the point that when our players come back from injury we will be okay. Now that I have seen how we play with Barndoor Bamford back, I am inclined to agree. Anyway, it does look like 7 - 9 points sees us safe. Also like to point out that 2 of our younger players - Gelhardt and Cresswell look reasonably decent. Wouldbnt it be hilarious if Everton go down with Lumplard as manager?

Really wish they had not picked Fat Frank as coach. Have to root for them to go down. Nothing against the toffees but can’t root for fat frank.
Hodgson has done a good job. They don’t have a lot of talent but might stay up. Everton are the opposite. On paper that’s a top 10 squad. They don’t plAy like it

Brentford losing today is a real bonus after our win; disappointed at Newcastle letting ten man Everton beat them but I reckon there will be more twists and turns to come before the season is out.

Really strange season so far, before our recent wins, was looking down the table and trying to suss out all the relegation stuff.
Not a lot of points between all the teams in lower 1/2 of the table, now after 6 points looking up the table to see who we can catch and Leapfrog!

Agreed.
I think Leicester and above are fine.
Teams below that? Not so much.
-
Be happy if we get 4 points from our next 2 game, but it's anybodys guess what happens.
-
4 points from those games and we might be safe
